The Lord desires our fresh and new encounters with Him every time. He longs to reveal to us more of Who He is, His thoughts and His ways. He is excited to explore and experience with us what He has in store for us. His windows are open and ready to release and download anything when and what we are ready to receive.
“This is the day the Lord has made;
We will rejoice and be glad in it.” (Psalm 118:24)
Each day is a new day. There is nothing like it, none in the past and there will never be in the future. TODAY is a precious and unrepeatable gift that the Lord has made. What is expected of us TODAY is to rejoice and be glad in it.
“Here is a simple, rule-of-thumb guide for behavior: Ask yourself what you want people to do for you, then grab the initiative and do it for them. Add up God’s Law and Prophets and this is what you get.” (Matthew 7:12 MSG)
“Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.” (Hebrews 4:16 NKJV)
Why BOLDLY? Because in the New Covenant, we have a GREAT HIGH PRIEST, JESUS CHRIST, who was in ALL POINTS tempted as we are, yet WITHOUT SIN (Hebrews 4:15). We only don’t have a GREAT High Priest but a High Priest FOREVER (Hebrews 5:6).
When we adore or revere someone, don’t you think we would like to be acknowledged by that someone? We sometimes get out of our way to be seen and to be taken notice of. Oh yes, that’s a default attribute of being on planet earth. At times we find ourselves searching in the net what the person is doing at the very moment and where.
Don’t worry! It’s just but norm to behave this way. The only thing that we need to redefine is WHO to adore that will give most value to our very being. To WHOM shall we pour all of our affections on and be rest assured that we will NEVER be disappointed. Continue reading “Jesus Is Second To NONE!”
Free will is a God-given privilege. I is an attribute of LOVE. He created us to have freedom, for us not to be forced or coerced into something we don’t desire to do.
In worship, I used to ask the Lord why doesn’t He just come in His powerful glory invading the earth where everyone who comes under the glory cloud won’t have much of a choice but to bow down low and worship Him. How glorious it would look then when all of us will be glued low in honor and reverence of His presence. But then I came to realize that when He always comes this way, He would be negating our free will to worship Him.
When the God of the universe Who wonderfully created us longs for an intimate forever-lasting relationship with us, what an awesome privilege it is. To be sought after and called by name only to be wooed into the embrace of His love, what an honor it is. Oh how He passionately longs to be known by us, believed by us and trusted by us for Who He truly is, a loving Daddy God Who lavishes us with Himself. Continue reading “Dance With Me”
We all have a vital part to play in the Kingdom of God and our quest is to discover who He has called us to be and where He has positioned us to be.
He called us to be the salt and light of the world (Matthew 5:13). He called us to make a difference in people’s lives. We are to remember that no man is an island therefore we didn’t just pop up into this world just to live for ourselves. Our God is a purposeful God. He knows you and I like no one else, even before the foundation of the world and certainly He knows each of our own part in the body of Christ. The best part of it is that when we discover our rightful place in His kingdom, we become aware that we’ve just been set up to enjoy and celebrate life.
Haven’t you noticed that when God parted the Red Sea, His way was different from the way He did it with the Jordan River?
The Red Sea: “LIFT UP YOUR ROD, and STRETCH OUT YOUR HAND over the sea and divide it. And the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea.” (Exodus 14:13 NKJV)
The Jordan River: “And it shall come to pass, AS SOON AS THE SOLES OF THE FEET OF THE PRIESTS who bear the ark of the Lord, the Lord of all the earth, SHALL REST IN THE WATERS OF THE JORDAN, that the waters of the Jordan SHALL BE CUT OFF, the waters that come down from upstream, and they shall stand as a heap.” (Joshua 3:13 NKJV)
Our normal thinking leads us to be like someone we admire most but our renewed minds lead us to become like Jesus Christ. Be imitators of Christ. Be Christlike. There is nothing more that God desires but for us to be like Him, talk like Him, think like Him, see like Him, move like Him and love like Him.
Behold, I Am With You Always! -JESUS
