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.
For thou art my hope, O Lord God; thou art my trust from my youth. Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength fails.
Psalm 71 verses 5 and 9.
When I am most vulnerable, the Lord will sustain me.
I will remember His love and his kindness from the time of my youth.
All my life, he will be good to me.
He is my hope, and in Him, do I put my trust.
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.
Simple truth…
He Lives
I serve a risen Savior.
He’s in the world today.
I know that He is living no matter what men may say.
I see His hands of mercy, I hear His voice of care.
None other is so loving, so good and kind.
He lives. He lives. Christ Jesus lives today.
Today, we remember Sunday Resurrection day. Suffered on the cross. Gave up the ghost. Buried and on the third day, God raised Him from the grave.
He is now seated at God’s right hand in the glory. There, he lives to die no more.
I will serve Him forever.
The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.
Be not affrighted: ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him.
But we see Jesus who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honor; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.
Hebrews 2 verse 9, Luke 24 verse 7, Mark 16 verse 6. Anonymous Hymn
He will fight for you.
With God on your side, you have confidence and the assurance of victory.
He is your Champion, and there is none like Him.
Be in peace and trust Him.
The Lord shall fight for you, and you shall hold your peace.
He will fight against them that fight against you.
(Exodus 14 verse 14 and Psalm 35 verse 1)
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 words preserve me are said a great deal throughout the Psalms. The meaning is simple; keep me safe from harm, daily demise, problems in society where I live, and even keep me safe from my wayward thoughts. I trust in the Lord.
Preserve me Lord for in thee do I put my trust.(Psalm 16 verse 1)
Yet To Be # 300
Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is. Jeremiah 17 verse 7
The Lord is Hope.
In him, we have everything we need.
With arms wide open he never refuses;
And never disappoints.
Where there is trust, hope follows.
Sometimes we cannot see the big picture, but if we look at the little things and see how easily they fall into place, we will glimpse that big picture.
Then we will know that he is all-sufficient.
And then we will realize, we lack nothing.
Because we are blessed.
