When
circumstances in our life overwhelm us, God rescues us from drowning in them
and calls us from the darkness into His glorious light (1 John 1:5-7). He is
always there for us, never abandoning us or ignoring us. His love is
everlasting (Hebrews 13:5; Romans 8:31-39).
We
cannot trust in people or aspects of this world to save us or to deliver us
from our trauma and trials. However, God is always watching over those who
trust in His unfailing love. As we wait on the Lord, He always comes to our
rescue (Psalm 33:16-20).
Our
heart trusts in Him, and He causes us to rejoice. We hope in the name of the
Lord, our God (Psalm 20:7); and His unconditional love is always available to
us (Psalm 33:21-22). We are of all people very miserable, if we do not have
Jesus Christ in our life.
Every
aspect of this life is merely temporary. Yet, God's love and His Kingdom are
eternal and everlasting. Authentic Believers learn that trusting in aspects of
this world is useless, and we come to trust only in Him. There is power in the
name of Jesus (Mark 16:17-18).
God's
incomprehensible love never fails us, and we realize this as we grow in our
intimate union with Him (Galatians 2:20). We can walk to the edge of all the
light we have, and take one more step, because we know that in the center of
His will, we are safe and secure.
Although
people mock, disparage and criticize Christians for our faith in an unseen God,
when we look to Him, our heart and countenance glow with joy that is full of
His glory. We are never ashamed (Psalm 34:5).
As
we read God's Word and hide it in our heart, we have all the resources we need
in order to have His wisdom and skill for living. Scripture is alive and
powerful and cuts away our carnality from our spirit (Hebrews 4:12).
Each
time that God delivers us through His miraculous provision, we can journal
about it, memorize a Bible verse as a memorial, or purchase an item that
reminds us of the incident when He proved to us His everlasting love.
Prayer:
Father
God, there is no cause for us to worry about anything that we need (Philippians
4:6). Your love is multi-dimensional and surrounds us throughout our lifetime
(Romans 8:35-39). We trust in Your strength, and we abide in Your presence continually
(Psalm 105:4).
Christianity
is not what we do, but who we are in You. We do not attain our self-worth or
value through our accomplishments; but like Paul, we count it all as loss (Philippians
3:8), in order to attain our position in Your family and Kingdom. We love You
more than our life itself.
Thought
for the Day:
We
look to God each moment of our day, follow His directives, live according to
His principles, and follow His predestined plan for our life.
