Thoughts for another day

March 9, 2010

Today's verse: Ps. 4:3. Know that the LORD works wonders for the faithful; the LORD hears when I call out. (NAB – copyright acknowledged)
(Pls. read the above before you read further. Thanks)

The Lord loves those who are His own. His pleasure is in them and even as they delight in Him, He works to fulfill their hearts’ desires. They are set apart for God and they revel in every command of His. They may face stumbling blocks in their work for Him, but they are unfazed and plod on because their gaze is on the Lord. They do not mind the difficulties because they know that they have their God who will rescue them from any difficult situation they may face. They live in completeness because they are aware that God is by their side and He will help them when they need His help.

God has made many promises in His Word the Holy Bible. He delights in keeping these promises because He loves to see us happy. The only thing we need to do is believe in His promises. First of all it is essential that we believe in Him. For, we are unable to please Him if we don’t believe in Him. God always looks at the faith quotient in us and He knows what it is in each person very well because He sees the heart and no lip service is good for Him. No amount of saying ‘Lord’, ‘Lord’ will help if we don’t have belief in God.

Ultimate victory for us lies in the faith aspect that we display vis-à-vis God. Our confidence in God primarily lies in being absolutely certain that we know Him and that He is always striving to please us because we are His finest creation and He loves us tremendously. To us who completely surrender to His ways keeping firm in the faith, He works wonders as our scripture for today says and our confidence mounts more and more as we say ‘My God will listen to me when I pray.’
