God's
presence in the life of every Authentic Born Again Believer is irreplaceable,
incomparable, inclusive, inherited, intriguing, imposing, intricate, intense,
infusing, and inspiring. He is the ever-present help in our time of need (Psalm
46:1).
The
Lord God made the entire universe, setting it in motion. By His great power and
His outstretched arm, He keeps it swirling about the heavens with precision and
order. There is nothing too hard for Him to accomplish in His timing and way
(Jeremiah 23:17).
He
is our great and mighty God, the Lord of the heavenly hosts, excelling in
wisdom and actions. He filled the earth with terror by His faithfulness to His
chosen Israel (Jeremiah 23:18-21). In these modern times, He returned the land
to Abraham's descendants.
There
is nothing too hard for the Lord to accomplish according to His will, way and
timing (Genesis 18:14; Jeremiah 23:27). He makes an everlasting covenant with
His people, and He delights in blessing us and planting us in the center of His
will for us (Jeremiah 23:40-41).
Even
with His stellar reputation, we often grumble against the Lord. We fail to
observe His Hand in our circumstances until He puts the last piece of the
puzzle in place. Then we see the reasons behind His purpose for us, and we see
how patience had her perfect work in us (James 1:4; Ephesians 2:10).
Our
Father already knows the end from the beginning (Isaiah 46:10). He forgives our
faithlessness because He knows how the future will eventually play out. He
dwells in eternity rather than in time, and we can trust Him with our future
(Jeremiah 29:11).
Prayer:
Father
God, we often sit back and chuckle at Your goodness and humor. You generally
wait until the last minute to deliver us from the blazing trial, and when You
do, we rejoice with all of our might. You are our great God, mighty in
delivering us and generous in Your abundant provision for all of our needs. It
is amazing that although You dwell in eternity, You are concerned and care
about the trials in our individual lives.
Your
Word is full of testimonies of Your supernatural help in times of need. Help us
to trust in You with our whole heart, because there is nothing too hard for
You. Even when our path is darkened by horrendous circumstances, You shine Your
light and show us the way through it. We give You all of the praise and honor
due to Your name.
Thought
for the Day:
As
we put our whole life - including our aspirations, fears, anxieties,
insecurities and passion - in God's capable hands, He enables us to walk under
the direction of His Spirit and to look for the seed for a miracle that He
plants within every fiery trial.
