Yesterday I tried to hammer home the idea that our faithful God has been there every minute of our lives. Since this is the case and He has never let us down we have no reason to doubt Him in the future. Many of you tried the math exercise to demonstrate the massive weight of Gods love for us over our life time compared to the amount of time He has forsaken us. The chapter that I took yesterdays passage from ends with these words of praise and declaration. Would you join me in praying through them today and together may our hope and faith be strengthened in the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ.
"Praise the Lord,
for he has shown me the wonders of his unfailing love.
He kept me safe when my city was under attack.
In panic I cried out,
“I am cut off from the Lord!”
But you heard my cry for mercy
and answered my call for help.
“I am cut off from the Lord!”
But you heard my cry for mercy
and answered my call for help.
Love the Lord, all you godly ones!
For the Lord protects those who are loyal to him,
but he harshly punishes the arrogant.
So be strong and courageous,
For the Lord protects those who are loyal to him,
but he harshly punishes the arrogant.
So be strong and courageous,
all you who put your hope in the Lord!"
Psalms 31:21-24 NLT
My friends, nothing can compare to the everlasting love and faithfulness of our great God. "So be strong and courageous" because the next minute is in His hands.
"Father God, indeed you have shown us the wonders of your unfailing love. You have heard, you have answered and you have protected your people. So as we hold to the great promises of your Word, help us I pray to grow in the grace and knowledge of your Son Jesus that we might over flow with hope and trust in you our faithful God and Savoir. May your name Oh Lord be blessed forever, Amen"
For the Joy of Your Faith,
Teagan
