God
speaks to us in so many ways: His quiet voice, a thought from a friend, a verse
from His Word, a song or a sermon, the numbers on the clock, a particular bird,
a butterfly, a blooming flower, etc.
He
knows exactly how to show His love to each one of us. Jesus is God and a part
of the Trinity (John 8:58). He did not steal equality with God (Philippians
2:6). He is an integral part of the great I AM (John 8:24).
The
Godhead is eternally present with us all. As Believers, His presences is within
us and is our guarantee of experiencing the glory of our Lord (Colossians
1:27). Our life, past and present and future, belongs to Him.
God
pardons our yesterdays and gives us hope for our tomorrows. He encourages us to
ask for whatever we need through the authority of His name, and He will provide
it for us (Matthew 7:7).
God
does this in order to insure our joy now and throughout eternity (John 16:24). He
turns our mourning into happiness, our need into abundance, our talents into a
ministry and our powerlessness into His anointing (Psalm 30:11-12; 1 Peter
4:10; 1 John 2:27).
Jesus
is the Bread of Life, who satisfies our longing and fills our hungry soul (John
6: 35; Psalm 107:9). He is the exact representation of the Godhead, purifies us
from our sins, sits at the right hand of God and sustains all things by His
powerful word (Hebrews 1:3).
Prayer:
Father
God, You are our peace, and You have broken down every wall, which prevents us
from seeing Jesus (Judges 6:24; Ephesians 2:14). You are our rock of refuge,
fortress of safety, deliverer from sin and shield from fear and our salvation,
when we have no other (Psalm 18:2).
Jesus
is the brightness of Your coming and the express image of Your person (2
Thessalonians 2:8; Hebrews 1:3). We want nothing more than to see Jesus arise
and shine within us as we reflect His glory (Isaiah 60:1-22; 2 Corinthians
3:18).
Thought
for the Day:
Once we
truly see Jesus, we do not desire anything this world has to offer. He is enough,
and He satisfies the longing of our soul (Psalm 107:9). He is our life, and He
is all we need (Colossians 3:4; Philippians 4:19).
