Thoughts for another day

March 24, 2010

Today's verse: Job 5:22. At destruction and famine thou shalt laugh: neither shalt thou be afraid of the beasts of the earth. (KJV)
(Pls. read the above before you read further. Thanks)

When you’re with God and your being is aware, there’s a tremendous feeling inside which is difficult to describe. It’s both, one of awe, because He is so great and of tremendous happiness; yeah, even if you’re in a spot and worry is knocking at your door. I should know for right now, I’m experiencing this situation. Then there’s also a feeling of great power, a certain kind of invincibility which should not be given the situation one is in, yet it’s there and it pumps up the rushing adrenaline in you.

Those who’ve had this experience can empathise with what I’m saying. When God is close, very close to you, your spirit is so strengthened and confident that the above scripture becomes part of you, or a reality in you. There’re times when I laugh at dreaded diseases like cancer, AIDS, and what have you. Accidents are things of amusements too! Not, because I dare them by myself, but because I have the Rock with me. A mighty and awesome Rock Who can thwart all the efforts of the accuser from doing me any harm. Amen.

There’re people who’ve lived such experiences: having fallen from great heights, or in devastating accidents or suffering bullet wounds; but have yet lived to tell their story. I remember the Lord says in Isaiah 54: 17, ‘No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.’ These are Words by an Awesome and Mighty God, who formed the universe and created life and surely He can come to your rescue like none else can for He straddles power and might begins from the sinews of His hand and He it is who is your Rock, your Portion and salvation. Go to Him alone when you need help.
