Thoughts for another day

Today's verse: Ps. 36:9. For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light. (KJV)

(Pls. read the above before you read further.  Thanks)

What will life be without God?  For me, and I’m sure for you too, it’s just inconceivable isn’t it?  How can one stay without breath or oxygen?  That and even more is the significance of God in our lives.  In fact, God is life and truly without God, there can be no life.   The essence of living isn’t without God for how can a created thing even live without the pattern of its Creator (particularly because it’s molded in His form and image) and how can the pattern not have the being of the Creator for the pattern is obviously spawned from the Creator’s being isn’t it? That’s the reason why when we forsake the Lord, there’s an emptiness within and joy flees the soul.

With God alone is the fountain of life for He alone is God and He alone is the giver of life.  In God alone is the light with which we shall see for without God is no light except utter darkness and gloom.  With God in our lives, we’re filled with light.  There may be errors in our ways and there may be offences with which we cloud our walk with Him, yet when He is there, there’s the fragrance of life all around; the incandescent but definite glow of living light.

God, though holy, (I won’t add a superlative for holy means holy) yet tolerates our weaknesses and our imperfections…why?  Because He loves us.  He loves us so much that at times when I think on this, I’m not able to understand why He loves us so.  All I can see is His Face clothed with mercy…like no other mercy I’ve ever seen or known, and all I can see Him telling me is, ‘walk in My light for in it, you will live.’
