Thoughts for another day

Oct. 22, 2007

Today's verse: Mt. 28:20. …lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen. (KJV)
(Pls. read the above before you read further. Thanks)

It is amazing how God keeps His promises. Every time the mind, conditioned by the world and its buffoonery, says God isn’t existing and that everything you see and hear about God is someone’s figment of imagination; God comes down to prove that He is there and is still the same God Moses perceived in the burning bush.

Yesterday, I was in a prayer meeting. After the Word was broken, we started calling upon His Name and praising Him. The faith of the people arose and a point came when I believe each individual there expected to see the Lord. As the expectation arose, Jesus Christ Himself came down and not only me, but others too witnessed His presence. There was one sister there, who even wiped His tears: the tears that fall with ours when we are in pain. Amazingly, her hands were wet with them!

See my friends, He loves us so much. Yet our approach to Him is improper. At times, our prayers are not heard because we do not move to a point of desperation before the throne. God really moves when our desperation meter starts ticking and the needle reaches the maximum. We know this yet, we do not hammer at His heart and then when we do not witness His hand in our problems, we react negatively; we hurt Him much and tell Him we don’t believe in Him any longer. Sad, no? But that’s the way I must confess and say, we are, chiefly me.

Today, I urge you to get down on your knees and touch Him. If He became real to a bunch of sinners on a Sunday evening, He will definitely become real to you too. Remember He said, ‘I am with you always.’ And of course just as He told the people after Zacchaeus’ conversion, He says the same again, ‘The Son of Man has come to seek and save the lost.’ Be sure and know He will come into the corner where you are, desperately seeking Him.
