God is always at work! We may not see Him, feel Him, or see the immediate answers to our prayers, but our limited sight doesn’t automatically confirm God’s inactivity! Faith requires that we continue to pursue our God for that thing that we are longing for, right?
What can separate us from the unfailing love of God? Nothing! Receive it for yourself today, dwell in it, and give thanks to God for His love for you! He truly is a good and loving God, praise His name! God’s love truly is meant for you and me to personally enjoy! Are you enjoying it?
I love this remake of the old hymn, Amazing Grace, as it declares, “My chains are gone, I’ve been set free!”, praise God! I hope that your hope is secure in the freedom that Christ has offered you. I pray that you have been inspired as you listen and sing this song, and that your faith is in Jesus Christ and the grace that He offers all of us.
Gracefully Broken is a great song to remind us of how our weakness can position us to receive God’s power. When in our weakness we call out to God‘s intervention then we will see the mighty hand of God coming in and delivering us from our trials and circumstances. All to Jesus we surrender, and when we do we align ourselves with His redeeming power. And there is no greater force in all of the universe than that!
I don’t know if you are in that “dry” place right now, a place where you don’t have much more to give. Are you exhausted, maybe you have received a diagnosis that you weren’t prepared for, maybe you are having marital issues that can’t seem to be resolved, the list goes on and on and on! But I do know the One that you can call on which will be your help in a time of need, His name is Jesus Christ.
We have to get a grasp on the holiness of God and His wonderful Nature in order to fully trust Him with our lives. He is the Lord of all, the Ruler of all things, and I hope He is the Lord of your life today! When you make Him Lord of all in your life, then you access His closeness, you access His guidance, you access His Holy Spirit which is our help in our times of need!
We must learn to remain steady and resolved in trusting God’s work of deliverance. We must reject fears influence over us and allow God’s power and strength to keep us on the path up out of our captivity! He is faithful, we must only look to Him for our salvation.
The basic sense of the word “holy” is “set apart from that which is commonplace, special, unique, and I believe that it is so important for God to have this “holy”, special place in our hearts as we follow Him. We must learn to fear Him and understand the true nature of God before we can accurately see ourselves! There is absolutely no one that “deserves” an audience with the perfect and Holy King of the universe. We are all unclean as Isaiah realized, and unworthy of God’s attention and compassion, but that does not stop God from responding to us in kindness and love!
We have been commissioned by God Himself to carry this message to the world, to make sure that we are making disciples and influencing our “world” for the Lord! His glory rises up in us, it shines upon us as we proclaim the message to others of how Jesus Christ was sent into this world to bring salvation and hope to the helpless. There will be testing, even to the point of death to some, but the Church of Christ must persevere and endure through persecution and trials in order to spread this message with the hopes that some will believe and be saved!
