Thoughts for another day

July 1, 2009.

Today's verse: Ps. 73:26. My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. (KJV)
(Pls. read the above before you read further. Thanks)

In the freshness of the morning come fresh thoughts of God and His love and of course His mercy which is new every morning and within the soft membranes of my mind, the above verse tinkles like a gentle reminder of what God means to me.

To be honest, God means the world to me and I’m sure to you too. Because, I cannot fathom what life would be without God, (what a scary thought!) I reckon He’s always there guiding and guarding me and it is all so comforting and that’s why I’d echo the above Words, ‘My body and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart…my portion forever.’ It means that I have come to depend on God totally. When in any kind of trouble, I trouble Him for a solution. If there are financial woes, I call Him and He promises that the wealth of the nations will be brought to me! When sick, I look to Him and He tells me this is not so you may fall but that, He will be glorified in it.

God’s glorious span encompasses the earth and even beyond. His warmth radiates louder than the sun, permeating both body and soul; so much so that at times, it seems too much. His awesome love creates awe in me as to how much of His love can I hold. Deep inside of me, a voice speaks saying, ‘I have loved you with an everlasting love and drawn you with loving kindness…’ Jer. 31:3. There is no measure with which I may measure His fondness for me and there is nothing that can separate me from His love. What an amazing thought. Am I the scum of the earth, exalted to be the apple of His eye (Deut. 32:10, Zech. 2:8) this is all too glorious for me.

When I think all this and I behold His marvel in creation, I look up, my eyes a bit moist, and I can only tell Him, ‘O God never let your gentle hand be lifted from me.’ Amen.
