Thoughts for another day

Today's verse: Ps. 145:13. Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and your dominion endures through all generations. The LORD is faithful to all his promises and loving toward all he has made. (NIV – copyright acknowledged)
(Pls. read the above before you read further. Thanks)

Here’s an exaltation to the Lord which is really solid; and then is the assurance to His people by David, one of God’s foremost generals and a man after His own heart and if God said that about Him, then we can safely assume David really knew God and walked in that knowledge.

It really pleases the heart of a man close to God to hear that God’s kingdom is everlasting. It brings with it, the persona of God rendering love and justice to all its citizens as well as a form of prosperity that sees neither destruction nor end. God’s kingdom is a place of tranquility where you can fathom peace in all its pristine glory and experience the unalloyed goodness of the Lord. Added to this is the fact that God’s dominion will endure forever and it’s a guarantee to all His people of His cover of safety. So at no point in time can we be afraid because we know He is upon the throne. He is Sovereign and there’s no power on earth which can surpass His. He is above all and beyond all and the most important thing for us, His people, is that He is with us and for us. So then of what or whom shall we be afraid? Who can cause tremors in the chambers of our heart or who can usurp our foundations?

My friend as you read this, understand that God is faithful in all His work. His promises guarantee He is going to act accordingly. There is no lie in Him nor is there any vacillation between yes and no or even a maybe. God is so vast, so great, so powerful, so tremendous, it’s just impossible not to be awed by Him. The best part is that He loves us beyond measure. You know when that tear is about to fall from your eye, He is not able to bear it, but He knows why it needs to fall. There are other times, when you praise Him, holding His hand and loving Him, and tears of joy fall from His eyes and He says, My child loves me so much; then He lifts up His hand and blesses and the treasures of the kingdom fall into our laps. Sometimes I’m so ashamed that knowing all this, I still treat Him so miserably. So God, my God, help me and my sinfulness and wash me clean. Amen.
