We should not limit God. He is the same God who called into existence those things that did not exist.
There is no limit to his power and no measuring his love.
When we ask, we need to sit back and let him take control. He will do great things and different things you never thought about.
He is infinite.
Call unto me, and I will answer you and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know. The Lord is his name.
Adapted from Jeremiah 33 3 and 2 b.
He can do anything.
He hears our cry.
He remembers that we are fragile. We are weak humans subjected to all the powers of pain, sorrow, and loss that surround us.
We are but a speck in this vast univers, yet there is grace.
We have no power to control our destiny, whether it be good or bad.
We are subject to life as it is.
Does not God care?
Does God not understand?
Does He see all the injustice waged on us?
He promised to be present when we needed help.
He promised never to walk away from us.
He will always be near.
Nothing is hidden from him.
Am I a God at hand, says the Lord, and not a God afar off?
Can anyone hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? Says the Lord. Do not I fill heaven and earth? Says the Lord
He is a God of great mercy and compassion.
He speaks truth, life, and love.
Oh Lord my God, how majestic is thy name in all the earth.
The Lord is worthy to be praised.
Blessings and honor are due to his name.
The Lord is high, and we will lift him up to the father and show him all his beauty.
Thine, O Lord is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty;… thou art exalted as head above all. 1 Chronicles 29 verse 11
Zechariah 3 verse 17
What a good God we serve.
We ought to remember he is not just a God of judgment because he is holy, but he is a God of love and compassion.
His love is beyond our understanding. Look how he sent his only son, the son of his love; he sent him to die so that we could be saved.
How wonderful is he.
He will not hold back anything good from his people, those same people who he loves.
O God, how long shall the adversary reproach? Shall the enemy blaspheme thy name forever?
Psalm 74 verse 10.
We live in a society where God is not the center and is therefore not important. Every day, we move among people who have no regard for the things of the Lord. There are religions that seek peace and give instructions on how to live in peace, but they do not know the true and living God. Their words will not last forever.
The answers to life lie in the word of God. Yet, no one opens the Book of books to read. If they did, they would learn the truth.
The Lord is not slack concerning his promises. Soon, he will put all things right. He will be the one all the earth will praise. Every knee shall bow, and every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.
Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in ther; and let such as love thy salvation say continually, let God be magnified.
Psalm 70 verse 5
We praise him not just for what he has done but for who he is.
Life is not always about us. We see the Lord in all his beauty.
We praise him and lift him up because he is God.
He is worthy to be praised.
Waiting on God in Hope.
When we wait on the Lord, it is not because He is slow or forgets to be kind to us. Waiting can seem very long. We do not hear or see any difference. He is not subjected to time like humans. We are born, live a little, and then we die. ( Ecclesiates 3 verse 1. To everything, there is a season.)
Time is not His enemy. It is His creation.
( Genesis 1 verse 5. The evening and the morning were the first day.) He dwells in eternity where time and the ravishes of time can never touch. Yet, God remembers what we are. He remembes we are frail creatures, and we go back to the earth as dust.
(Psalm 103 verse 14. He knows our frame and remembers we are dust.)
At the appointed time, He will come through. It will be for us perfect. We have only to trust Him.
I know it is hard. But He knows how this story ends and how it started. He is faithful.
(Isaiah 46 verse 9 to 13…
I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me. Declaring the end from the beginning, and from the ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure: I have spoken it, I will also bring it to pass; I purposed it, I will also do it. Hear me, I bring near my righteousness; it shall not be far off, and my salvation shall not tarry.)
Amen
The Lord is great.
The Lord is the king of glory the Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle. He will fight for you. The Lord who owns this earth and all that is in the earth, the fulness, riches, the plenty of this earth is His . This same God says to ask him anything and prove him and see if He will not open the windows of heaven and pour out a blessing. It will be a blessing juat for you. If only you will believe Him, you will receive whatever you ask. (adapted from Psalm 24, Malachi 3 verse 16 and Matthew 21 verse 22)
Therefore will not we fear…
Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed and though the mountains be carries into the midst of the sea. Psalm 46 verse 2
We are not alone in our circumstances.
And although some problems are insurmountable, God is there.
There is nothing too hard for Him, nothing impossible for our God.
He created the world by calling the things that were not into being.
This same mighty God hears every cry, every wayward thought, and still knows our needs.
He is not slack, nor is His arm too short that He could not save.
