Thoughts for another day

Today's verse: 1 Tm. 4:4. For everything God created is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving (NIV – copyright acknowledged)
(Pls. read the above before you read further. Thanks)

Every creature on the face of the earth has its life and form designed by the LORD God. He alone created it and given it life. Every creature is unique in itself. Even the smallest form of life, the amoeba, is so unique and distinct; there cannot be another like it. As for us human beings too, God has created us all. Tall, short, black, yellow, white, and what have you, God has created each one of us very intricately and He is very pleased with His creation. God’s creation spans the entire universe and no matter how ugly a thing might seem to us in the way it looks, it is beautiful because the Master’s hand has created it.

Our verse today derives from this perspective and also that God in His mercy has given us, His finest creation and the recipient of all His love, all things for our use. No matter what anyone might say, God has blessed everything for our use and work. When we acknowledge this and thank Him for His gift, His power comes down on that object, no matter what it be and then it becomes good for us. In our country where there’s a lot of belief of evil powers on things inanimate, for e.g. a lime strewn with red powder and thrown on the road, even if we stamp it and immediately praise the Lord, any effect it may have is immediately cancelled by the power of our God and belief in that power. If there is belief of evil power in that object, we must also believe that taking the Name of the Lord upon it cancels the evil for no power can withstand the power of God. Remember the devil cannot stand before God, leave alone his stupid power and we see that in the Gospels as he scrounges before Jesus.

Believe today, in the Name of the Lord and His awesome power and you will be redeemed of all fear and then everything sent by the Lord will seem ok.
