Thoughts for another day

Nov. 18, 2009

Today's verse: Is. 25:9. And it will be said in that day, "Behold, this is our God for whom we have waited that He might save us. This is the LORD for whom we have waited; Let us rejoice and be glad in His salvation.” (NASB. Copyright duly acknowledged)

In the midst of the strife in my soul, the turmoil in my heart and listlessness of my being; in the deep tribulation I was in, looking at a situation far too hopeless for me, I beheld and my lips quivered when I saw God as a ray of light in the distance but approaching me. I couldn’t believe my eyes: Imagine the LORD of glory coming to a worm like me. Coming to soothe me and reassure me of His presence in my life. To lift me up and hold me close to Him. My pain vanished, my fears disappeared and between tears I asked Him, ‘LORD You came for me?’

He cast His glance of love over me and told me, I am your God, the One you waited for, expecting that I will save you. Yes, My son I AM your God, the One you waited for. Now rejoice and be glad in your salvation. I have come to bring you life and life in abundance. Sing to Me your best song and rejoice in My Name for I AM your God in Whom should be your delight. I will fulfill all you ask of Me. Glory in My Name that all nations come to know Me through you.

And as praise burst in my heart, the vision vanished, yet all around there was a brilliance I can’t describe. Suddenly I realized that all my fears had melted. There were none. I recalled His Word, ‘I Am your salvation and I have come that you live life abundantly.’ A new strength surged in me and a new song of praise erupted in my being that I knew not of…It was just praise you Lord in a new tune. This encounter just changed me and life is now different for I know that God is interested in me; Me? The least of them! Yes, but He is! And am I not glad? I was created by God and I am sustained by Him. I rejoice for I am His.
