There are those who think: “Why pray when God already knows
everything?”
One thought is: Since Jehovah is everywhere and everywhen, when we
pray for the same issues, he already has in control, we join Him, and he joins us
because majestic love gets enhanced somehow. It’s like when loved ones or
children agree with us, our love blossoms more.
We can even ask and move mountains! We may have to invent a bulldozer,
but we get there, just slower.
Did Jesus’s death on the Cross define all God’s wrath he had stored
up since Noah?? Maybe so.
Anyone who does not sleep may be unfaithful to God’s Grace and
faith….
The gift of Jehovah [Jesus] IS NOT specifically a reward like we
give a child or person when they have been good. He gave His Son to us when we
were at our worst, not our best.
No matter how bad we think we are, He still loves us with an
amazing love/quality that baffles our imagination. This truth causes us to learn belief and trust, which are the goals after all.
There are times we have OFF. Sometimes, it is a vacation. Sometimes
it is retirement. Sometimes it is even a time of sickness. When these times
come, we have the opportunity to review and think about our personal stories. And
sometimes we tell our story. We all have a particular story in life. It can be
a time when God reminds us of who we are. He is still writing our stories. We “ain’t”
through yet.
Again,
if we want to know something about divine happenings, think about the names in the
scripture given to Jehovah. For instance: Son of Jehovah; God’s Son [Lk.1:35;
Heb. 1:2,8 and many others]
Jehovah’s
human form, Jesus, has become one of us, but without flaws or any sin that ends
in defeat and death.
With the birth of Jesus, we can speculate that Jehovah God Father still wants to be a part of his creation. Consequently, in one sense, He is his creation! That means He is still in control, whether we see it all or not. We can trust in his inventions, creations, even the good or bad as history moves along. His resurrection continues. God is still present.
Did Nature speak first? Did the child speak first? Did the puppy speak first? Did the president speak first?
Nope! Psalm 33: 8-9.
God’s
word [scripture] is like an axe breaking through our frozen-lake hearts. He
often breaks through the surface of our emotions and simply says, “I’m here,
the water’s fine!”
Mistakes. Mistakes,
Mistakes. Yes, but try some more.
Remember,
God’s Grace always gives before He requests; He always loves
first before He receives love. See: Luke 15: 25-32.
True Christian faith is hard because of the waiting. We must learn to wait without complaint, even wait on the hoping for the better, always expecting an obvious answer from God. We learn to put God first, not some feeling of Self first. [". . .sufficient is the day thereof..." Mt. 6:34]
Today,
people often ask the question, maybe from doubts or fears, but usually from a
specific misunderstood situation.
An interesting
truth exists. When we see or read the Bible, we see and read a place and time
when God was always present. There is no question of “where or when” God is
going to show up. Is this true Today?
We
are taught to walk by faith and not by sight. But maybe prayerfully, we can
walk by faith and insight in Christ.
When you read scripture, try to turn your eyes[sight] into ears[hear] what God is actually doing today.
I think today: God can handle, even harmonize, the seen and unseen all together for us through His Son Jesus.
With
the promise of the Holy Spirit, you can receive a divinity within you that
expresses, at least, one personality gift that no one can ignore. This year,
find the gift!
We have often had UBER BRAINS when it comes to praying,
We just jump in a car and "please take us where we want to go!"
THIS YEAR: Where does God want us to Go??
