Thoughts for another day

Sept. 4, 2009

Today's verse: Ps. 69:32,33. The humble shall see this, and be glad: and your heart shall live that seek God. For the LORD heareth the poor, and despiseth not his prisoners. (KJV)
(Pls. read the above before you read further. Thanks)

In the Lord, there is no dearth of comfort and pleasure although never like that which man can give which may seem so sure but seldom accrues. Always and always, I shall say that if you seek God, there’s His promise waiting for you. I have seen countless number of people suffering and in misery but rarely seeking God. Why may I ask? Is God far and not close at hand? Paul gives the assurance (Acts. 17:27, 28) that He is a God not far but very close to us, so much so that in Him we live and move and have our being. Yet, when man is in strife, there is one, who’s never held close!

Very often people tell me, brother please pray for me. Oh, yes, I will, I say, but then why don’t you bang the doors of God? To this, the oft repeated answer is, Well, God listens to you but not to us! Is God partial? NO, He isn’t. His nature is true and His promises are for everyone, not only a clutch of people, but to everybody who seeks Him and this ‘seeks Him’ is nothing but a yearning to hold Him close.

My friend, if you believe me today; even if you don’t believe me, believe the written Word, the Good Book, the Bible, God is there for those who seek Him sincerely. Ardently get on your knees and plead your case before Him and your heart shall live, because He hears the downtrodden and His eyes are of tears at their plight. He never despises those that are His own. How many times, will He tell you this, oh you of slow understanding. Today, stand confidently at His ramparts and call out to Him. He will hear you and grant that which you ask for. Amen.
