Yet To Be # 260

Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea. Psalm 46 verse 2.
Therefore will not we fear…

Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea. Psalm 46 verse 2.
nothing can separate us from the love of God.

He loves us and cannot deny himself.
He would do everything for his loved ones.
Love, how can we count the ways of this emotion?
His love is like no other.
What can separate us from his love?
Neither height nor depth nor death,
Can separate us from the love of Christ.
He longs for us to be together.
To be in his presence for eternity.
Where he is, we shall one day be there too.
there is one mediator between God and men..

The blood of Jesus makes atonement for sin (to make things right before God)
Without shedding blood, there could be no reconciliation with God.
Being washed in the precious blood of Jesus, we can approach the throne of grace in boldness because Jesus’ blood covers us.
God is holy, and in His presence we are seen in Christ Jesus.
God sees this coverage and passes over in judgment. There is no other access to God except through His only begotten son, Jesus Christ. It is a privilege that allows us to come into His holy presence through the largeness of His grace.
For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus. 1 Timothy 2 verse 5
But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. Ephesians 2 verse 13.
There is joy in heaven over one sinner who repents

In the weakest of moments I look away, down instead of up, and see nothing.
If there is a tiny speck of light, I don’t see it because I look at my circumstances and their harsh limitations.
How cruel to be born, grow, gain, lose, and then die, ashes to ashes, dust to dust.
How evil it is to despair. So easy it is to sink into the dark corners of the mind, to give into a depression where the soul is robbed of faith, and the heart becomes too afraid to believe.
It is a vengeful spirit that must not exist.
It is a evil that must never win.
The battle belongs to God.
He fights for us and will never fail.
Within the presence of God, there is peace, rest, joy, and love:
A love which dispels all fears. A love which brightens even the darkest nights with strength and with hope.
There is joy in heaven over one sinner who repents. Luke 15 verse 7
There is joy in knowing Jesus.

The Lord is my life and my salvation.
He gives, and He takes away; so deep is His love.
Who knows the mind of the Lord, and who can understand His ways?
His ways are not my ways neither are His thoughts my thoughts.
Nothing escapes His eyes when they are fixed solely on His children.
He is my light as I walk through the valley, scale mountains, weather storms, and descend into pits.
He is my guide and my savior.
I am no longer afraid of the Dark.
The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life of whom shall I be afraid? Psalm 27 verse 1

Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. Acts 4:12
He is your salvation.
Come to Jesus with all your burdens, lay them before Him, and confess your sins. Ask Him to come into your heart, and be the Lord of your life. He will give you joy, peace, and freedom in your soul like never before.
There is joy in knowing Jesus.
when you follow the Word of God and look to Jesus, his only begotten Son, you learn life is worth living.

When you listen to the noise surrounding your life, you hear many voices.
Some voices speak words of comfort and peace.
Where others utter words that are sad, and dark, words that are not edifying but disturbing and destructive. These are the loudest and most persistent because they bring along with their burdens of fear and torment.
Finally, there are voices of truth. Truth is a funny thing. It gives freedom in the face of guilt. It gives transparency when there is no vision, yet truth can be dark. Dark only because it shines a light in areas you strive to keep hidden.
These are the voices that should be heard.
Although their sting can be painful, their resolve is sure and honest.
As you listen to those words of truth, you begin to hear the voice of the Lord in a sea of noise. By His words of truth, you become unshaken and not stirred by the changing matters of this life. When you follow the Word of God and look to Jesus, his only begotten Son, you learn life is worth living.

The Remembrance Supper
The last request from the Lord.
“This do in remembrance of me.”
This is a request not a command. The Lord does not make a demand.
It is not a rule. It is an act that should be done out of love and devotion.

Luke 22 verse 19
And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, this is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me. Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, this cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.

be not afraid of him…

When God has a plan for you, nothing can stop it from coming to pass.
Sometimes to get to your expected end you need to confront unsurpassable things.
Fear not, God will provide all that you need to conquer that problem and to see you through.
What is for you, you will have.
And the angel of the Lord said unto Elijah, Go down with him be not afraid of him. And he arose, and went down with him unto the King. 2 Kings 1:15

And David said unto him, Fear not: for I will surely show thee kindness for Jonathan thy father’s sake, and will restore thee all the land of Saul thy father; and thou shalt eat bread at my table continually. 2 Samuel 9 verse 7.
King David extended kindness to his best friend’s son.
He gave without expectations. This is true kindness.
God gave His only son because He first loved us.
Here is unconditional and unmerited favor.
“speak the truth and speak it ever”
Yet To Be # 235

And the King said unto her, Be not afraid: for what sawest thou? 1 Samuel 28 verse 13
“Speak the truth and speak it ever.”
Don’t be afraid to say what is right.
Speak up for the truth and believe it.
But those who speak what is right have very few friends,
And walk a lonely path.
Rest assured, God is our rewarder and our comforter.
With Him in control we are never alone.
