God Cares for Us

Rock Formation on Sea during Dawn 


As authentic Believers, we get so much loving attention from the Trinity. We are connected to the Vine, which is Christ, and our Father is our caretaker. He prunes off our carnality, so that we can bear more spiritual fruit for His Kingdom (John 15:2).

This lightens our load in life, narrows our desires that cause us distractions from our purpose, and diminishes the number of trials that we experience from our own making.

Our Father gave us to Jesus for safe keeping (John 17:12). Jesus is our ever watchful Savior, Lord and King (1 Timothy 6:15). He is also our Brother and co-heir with us of all that belongs to our Father God (John 15:15; Romans 8:17).

In every issue that we experience, the Trinity is there working out everything for our eventual good (Romans 8:28). God allows trials in our life to perfect us, to draw us closer in an intimate relationship with Him, and to give us wisdom for our future.

Our faith in the Trinity is never wasted. We may get disappointed, because we did not get what we wanted, but we always get what God wants us to have, which is better than what we wanted. Even a jail cell is a sanctuary in which to worship our Lord.

In this world, we have two choices: either to serve Satan and our flesh or to serve our Living Lord. When we serve our self/Satan, we put our life under a horrible bondage; however, in serving the Trinity, we find true freedom, which we never before experienced.

There is no need for us to worry about anything in this life. God is working out the issues in our life to bless us and to further His Kingdom (Jeremiah 29:11). He uses our faith in His faithfulness as a testimony to those around us.

Prayer:
Father God, Jesus constantly stated that who He was and what He did was a direct manifestation of Your work in and through Him. We can enjoy this same relationship with You, because of Christ's sacrifice for us on Calvary's cross. We are so thrilled to enjoy this life of a union and unity with Your Trinity (John 14:10).

You fill us with Your presence, and we enjoy the peace, love and joy that You pour over us, in us and through us every moment of every day. We detest a life apart from You, and we can never praise You enough for giving us Your new life for now, as well as throughout eternity (2 Corinthians 5:17).

Thought for the Day:
A light bulb without electricity is useless; in this same way, our life without Christ in us is no more than an empty shell, useless and without a source of power.
