Does God Need Help?- Yet To Be #151

Great is our Lord and mighty in power, his understanding has no limit.

Does God need our help?
Who are we to think that the God of this universe, the Creator requires assistance?
We live in the presence of a holy God, and we can say like the prophet Isaiah, “Woe, is me for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips and I dwell among a people of unclean lips.”
What could we bring as a tribute but hate, envy, war, and strife? We live in the world, a place that cries out in pain because of our sins. We have made a mess of this world with our insatiable quest for more beyond enough.
This mess belongs to us, and yet with these same dirty hands we believe we can lend them to help God along His course.
Thou fool, God is in control and needs no help from us. He is God.

For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. Isaiah 55: 8-9

The Lord of hosts has sworn: As I have planned, so shall it be, and as I have purposed, so shall it stand. Isaiah 14:24

Lo, these are parts of his ways; but how little a portion is heard of him? but the thunder of his power who can understand? Job 26:14

Yet To Be #120

God is not a man that he should lie.

A Matter of Praying…part 2 or 5 Privileges as a Child of God

God has children, children who are adopted into His family.  Every new believer who has accepted Christ as Saviour is grafted into the family of God and has a seat at the table of God. We are joint-heirs with Christ and heirs of God.

Being a Child of God has its privileges; knowing the Creator of this vast universe inclines his ear to hear our prayers and answers every one of them. This is a promise from God.

When He makes a promise they are fulfilled. He is a Father but not an earthly man and therefore he can never tell a lie. Unlike us He is perfect and all His words and ways are right.

To understand Him is to get to know him.

By spending time with him, talking to him, and reading His word we draw near to Him.  As we draw to God, He in turn comes near to us because He cannot deny Himself. 

If He gave the son of His love to save this present evil world, how can he withhold any good thing from us?

He remains faithful because He is faithful.

How awesome is that?

Being a Child of God has 5 of the best privileges.

  1. We are adopted into the family of the True and Living God.  Romans 8:15-17
  2. We are joint heirs with Christ and heirs of God. Everything is ours: life, love, joy, peace.  Psalm 50:10
  3. He hears us at all times. Jeremiah 33:3, 2 Corinthians 1:20
  4. He is not a liar. Numbers 23:19.  What He says, He will do and not disappoint.
  5. He is faithful. James 4:8 and 2 Timothy 2:13
