Thoughts for another day

Sept. 23, 2009

Today's verse: Rev. 21:6. And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. (KJV)
(Pls. read the above before you read further. Thanks)

Listen to the Word of God…Ah, it’s a balm to my soul and it provides satisfaction to each cell in my body for He says, ‘to him who’s thirsty, I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely.’ I rejoice in this that the Only One who can give life now says, He will give it freely, so I can rejoice for there is no way, I can have eternal life but through His Mercy, demonstrated by His giving of His Son Jesus Christ to take my place and die.

You know, He is such a great and marvelous God. He holds all things in the palm of His hand. His vesture is splendor and brilliance and even before the world was formed, He was and even when it will end, He will be for He is the Alpha and the Omega. Time ceases before Him and emptiness is as nothing for He can fill emptiness with whatever He desires with just a Word. In solemn declaration, I shall say, ‘Oh God, how amazing and magnificent You are and yet You care for me, a worthless vessel of no value; and You consider me precious!’

Oh how can we ever do enough in our gratefulness for this our God or how can we ever repay Him for all that He has done. But you know He doesn’t require anything of us except that we wait upon Him. He is pleased as He hears our footsteps approaching His dwelling place – whether we move towards the church or to a prayer room or to a prayer designated room in our homes, or even retreat into the depth of our hearts to seek Him. How beautiful and glorious He is and how tender is His look toward us, and I want to tell Him: Master, let me always be at Your feet, never to go out of the shadow of Your wings. Amen.
