There is much that I have wanted
to say in the past few weeks about the behavior of the church. I see clearly.
However, what is much more needful for all, is to understand and believe that
God sees. His eye’s are not dim nor is His arm short. Everything that is done
and every thought of the heart are known by God. He judges and will hold each
of us accountable.
Therefore, be encouraged today to
seek the Lord before all else and seek His righteousness. Cry out to Him with
your whole heart. Search for Him as hidden treasure. Remembering those who seek the Lord shall not
lack any good thing and there is no want to those who fear Him. (He is not
talking about our flesh, He’s talking about that which only God gives…. righteousness, peace
and joy in Him). He says, Casting your cares upon Him for He cares for you.
Take His yoke upon you and learn from Him.
His mercies are new every
morning. Everyday we must set our hearts and minds on that which is above,
where Christ is sitting in the heavens at the right hand of the Father. We must strive to walk before Him in a manner that would
bring glory to the name of the God we profess to worship and adore.
We must ask for our daily bread.
This would require that we pick up our bible and read what His Words are to us.
Being ever mindful that Jesus is our mediator and not man. He gives us access
to God our Father. Hearing preaching and teaching by man is helpful, but
nothing can or ever will bring us to maturity without each of us learning of
Him through Him. This is the will of God. “I will put
My laws in their mind and write them on their hearts: and I will be their God,
and they shall be My people. None of them shall teach his neighbor, and none
his brother saying, Know the Lord, for all shall know Me, from the least of
them to the greatest of them.”
I would have despaired if I had not believed
that I would see the goodness of the Lord. Although His Word is in mine heart
and like fire in my bones, I wait on the Lord. I wait to see His church heed
His Word and love Him above all else. I wait to see Him in us. When each of us are
walking epistles’ living breathing His Words. Oh, glorious Lord, may I live to
see that day?
May God bless you this day! As
God spoke to Joshua so I speak to you, “Be strong and of
good courage.” Be sober not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit,
serving the Lord Jesus our God.
