Trust when you don’t understand

Isaiah 55:6-9 “Seek the LORD while he may be found; call upon him while he is near; 7let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; let him return to the LORD, that he may have compassion on him, and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. 8For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the LORD. 9For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.”

In our times of difficulty don’t turn away from God because you don’t like what is happening!  These are the times when he is most needed and available for your rescue.  Maybe your sins  have made you feel the Lord is distanct or He is disciplining you and calling you to more faith.  When you are in these times of difficulty and doubt turn and seek the Lord. He is compassionate and willing to forgive.  He is the only place to got even when it seems hopeless or illogical to trust him.  It is our most needed passion to trust him not to understand him. When the water needs to be divided or walked on, Jesus can do it!  We are called to have faith in the Lord at all times, especially when it doesn’t seem possible.  This is where God receives even more glory.  Trust and obey for their is no other way to be happy in Jesus but to trust and obey.  Amen

Jesus is God

 “He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,” ‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭1‬:‭3‬ ‭ESV‬‬ This verse is a most glorious statement about the Lord Jesus.  He is the very radiance of God that comes to us.  When you see Jesus you see God.  God created all things by his word  and we know that Jesus is the Word of God.  Therefore Jesus made all things and holds all things together.  The universe would explode if Jesus didn't keep it together by saying to it "stay together".  And the greatest act that Jesus did is purify us from sin by coming as a human child into his creation to die for our sins.  He accomplished this amazing task and now sits in complete control of the universe as Lord, God, Savior and our Friend if we believe and love him.  Praise you forever Jesus Christ.  Amen ...

A chosen privilege

 “And then he will send out the angels and gather his elect from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of heaven.” ‭‭Mark‬ ‭13‬:‭27‬ ‭ESV‬‬ We have not chosen God's love first, it is God who has chosen us.  What a glorious and tremendous responsibility.  The God of the universe has chosen us to represent him in his world.  With this truth placed deep in our heart we must love Jesus and others more than ourselves because that is the character of God.  Our privilege and responsibility is huge.  We must submit to the Holy Spirit to live righteously for we are witnesses to king Jesus.  Amen

Be sober for the day

 “But since we belong to the day, let us be sober, having put on the breastplate of faith and love, and for a helmet the hope of salvation.” ‭‭1 Thessalonians‬ ‭5‬:‭8‬ ‭ESV‬‬ Jesus is called the morning star, bringing light into this evil dark world.  When we taste and see that the Lord is good we live in his light which is called day.  Paul encouraged us to be sober in preparing for Jesus' return.  He means to mentally and spiritually be clear in our thinking about our faith. To be self disciplined, and vigilant concerning our hope and belief in Jesus' love and presence.  When doubt and danger tempt us we need to stay sober and put on the armor of God and trust in the Lord.   Lord help us to be ready to serve you by loving you and others until you come.  Come soon Lord Jesus come soon.  Amen
