Thoughts for another day

Oct. 24, 2007

Today's verse: Is. 51:6. Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath: for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment, and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner: but my salvation shall be for ever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished. (KJV)
(Pls. read the above before you read further. Thanks)

On the way to work or to anywhere else, if you are in touch with the Lord, it can be a wonderful journey. As you meditate on Him, His reassurances float into your mind one by one. You praise Him and He returns that with His solid Word.

So it was with me today while going to work. As I started worrying, He started sending me His promises and with them He also sent me the Word, ‘Heaven and earth will pass away but My Word will not pass away.’ I was reassured thinking how Heaven and earth will fold up – these (at least earth), which we deem to be imperishable, will actually wither away! Consider this my friend: Those huge mountains and solid rocks will frizzle and vanish… inconceivable… but His Word will remain! Ah, how solid His Word is.

Working on this reflection, as I was praying to the Holy Spirit to give us something solid today, guess what? He gave us the verse above. In congruence with the Word He gave me on the way! I know I need it and I know you need it too. There is one among us who needs this re-assurance very much today. May I request you to pray for that someone? And also trust in His Word yourself. My friend, what else do we have with us but His Word to tell us of His Wonder? To tell us that He loves us, that He cares for our every tear; and I must tell you how in song this morning He told me, ‘I came to tell you, of the love My Father has for you. I came to tell you of what you mean to Him. I came to tell you that I have returned to you, the Paradise you had lost. And I came to tell you, I am going to commune with you forever and ever in My garden of bliss.’ My Word for you.
