Daily, the Lord leads me by means of His written Phrase. He reveals me what to do, what to say, tips on how to deal with conditions. As a result of let’s face it…life is difficult and filled with pitfalls!
However every day as I examine the Phrase of God and His precepts, He’s guiding me.
To get by means of my day, effectively, to get by means of LIFE truly. 😊 I completely discover it CRUCIAL to spend time with Him.
There’s not a day that goes by that I can’t sit at His ft, asking Him what He may have me do immediately.
I WANT for use by Him. He provides me such an unimaginable starvation and need to serve others for Him and immediately, He’s requested me to let you know, “His mercy endures perpetually”. 😊
It comes from Psalm 118:1-4.
Give because of the Lord, for He’s good;
For His mercy is eternal.
Let Israel say,
“His mercy is eternal.”
Oh let the home of Aaron say,
“His mercy is eternal.”
Let these who concern the Lord say,
“His mercy is eternal.”
What catches my consideration essentially the most is the final half…let those that concern the Lord.
I’ve to confess, once I first began learning the Bible as a brand new believer, I had no concept what the “concern of the Lord” meant.
Is He some fireplace and brimstone God that’s going to strike folks down for some twisted kick? Is He a God of oppression? We should always all FEAR the Lord. He’ll abuse us?
However none of that’s true! Whereas He IS simply and honest (ask ANY one among my enemies! 😛 ) and there is part of Him that IS chastisement and punishment once we disobey Him, it’s by no means imply. He punishes us for correction, to get our consideration, to get us to obey, to name us again to Him, as a result of He loves us so very a lot.
So we have to take a look at the phrase “concern”.
What does it imply?
To us, in our tradition immediately, concern means terror, dread, anxiousness, fright, apprehension.
However that’s under no circumstances what concern means within the Bible.
Concern on this case right here within the textual content, it means a way of respect, awe, and submission.
We’re to be in AWE of the Lord.
We’re to respect Him enormously.
We’re to be in submission to our God.
However I wasn’t. I didn’t have an actual GOOD, strong sense of AWE for Him. No marvel or amazement in my coronary heart and I actually wished to study what the concern of the Lord meant and so early on in my Christian stroll, I prayed.
I requested God to offer me an understanding (not a data OF), however an EXPERIENCIAL understanding of the concern of the Lord.
Nothing occurred instantly. However over time, I began to see His amazingness. I’ve seen miracles such as you wouldn’t consider!
Issues that make you drop down and reward the Lord.
I’ve seen issues that aren’t POSSIBLE occur grow to be doable.
How was it that I may dwell such a rich life-style on solely $18k/12 months earlier than I began running a blog?
I imply, at one level, I wished to see the place and the way I used to be doing it and I did an excellent deep examine of my balances and revenue and bills.
On paper, it wasn’t doable. The revenue was $18k, the bills had been over that. There was no different revenue. No different issues coming in and YET, I used to be in a position to have round $7k in my financial savings account! Whereas residing on $18k, my BILLS had been $1,495/month, you then add in extras. Issues like shampoo, conditioner, paper towels. Something that the “payments” didn’t cowl. That’s AT LEAST an excellent $200-$300/month-ish.
So my revenue was $18k and my complete LIVING EXPENSES had been round $1,700-$1,800ish/month. That places me at about $20,400-$21,600/12 months. The residing bills had been greater than my revenue and YET, I used to be ALSO in a position to save $7k for a automobile. That will put me round $27,400-$28,600/12 months on a $18k/12 months revenue and but, I accrued completely no debt.
You see what I imply?
On paper, it doesn’t make sense. There’s no doable method for that to occur. In any respect. It’s completely inconceivable. UNLESS…
Until you have got a God that isn’t sure by the legal guidelines of OUR world. He can do something He needs and He was blessing me, miraculously.
It was awe-inspiring to look at and through the years, that’s simply ONE instance of all of the issues He’s executed in my life.
I feel that we’ve to REMEMBER Him.
Bear in mind these miracles.
Bear in mind His energy. His majesty. Bear in mind.
As a result of, over time, we begin to neglect issues like that. How He works miracles on a regular basis. How He reveals us His mercy and style time and time once more.
How has He blessed you in a time when it wasn’t doable and but, it was taking place? There may very well be no rationalization EXCEPT FOR Christ.
I guess you possibly can level to a minimum of one time in your life, if no more!
Whereas His mercy for us is in a number of areas, have you ever thought-about that fearing the Lord IS His mercy to you?
I imply, REALLY take into consideration this.
He’s a giant God, created the entire universe, proper?!
He doesn’t HAVE TO present us His awesomeness. What huge deal would it not be to a God so huge like that if WE, puny little people, consider Him?!
However that He loves us! And so it DOES matter.
It proves His goodness. When we’ve a proper understanding of the concern of the Lord, we worship Him. We reward Him. And in that, we carry Him honor.
He’s worthy to be praised, oh how He’s!
In the present day as you go about your day, I would like you to consider all of the ways in which He’s proven you His awesomeness. The issues He’s executed that appear inconceivable.
How has He proven you Matthew 19:26 is true? “With males that is inconceivable, however with God all issues are doable.”
WE, as people, are sure by the legal guidelines of the world. Of Earth. However HE….is NOT!
What’s inconceivable for US, is nothing to God. He’s not sure by our guidelines. Nothing is inconceivable for Him!
Do you have got an excellent sense of concern of the Lord?
If not, pray for it.
Pray for Him that can assist you have that sense of marvel and awe and respect for Him that’s so vital to our lives as godly folks. Ask Him that can assist you EXPERIENCE this and never simply have a working data of it, however to expertise it and see it first hand so that you could be know.
Really, His mercy endures perpetually! He’s good and simply, honest and righteous. He’s worthy to be praised and beloved and cherished every day, hourly, minute by minute!
He’s form to the brokenhearted.
He’s close to to the poor in spirit.
He’s a merciful God and we will thank Him for loving us so enormously as He does! 😊
