Thoughts for another day

May 31, 2013.

Today's verse: Rom. 8:38, 39. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. (KJV)

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

There’re various things about us and our God that many of us have no knowledge of.  We’re ignorant of the fact that God is with us – ALWAYS.  There’s just the need to look around and see Him, not with natural eyes, but with spiritual.  Jesus said it Himself and besides, we also say, God is Omnipresent; so if He is Omnipresent, then He must be around us, isn’t it? 

I then ask the question, why is God always around us and why did Jesus say, ‘I AM with you always, even to the end of the age.’  I understand that it’s because He loves me that He is always around me.  See, He is invisible and Jesus knows the kind of a fool I am – I only believe in what’s visible to me and so, He tells me He is there; always.  Now if I still don’t believe then it’s my folly.  Plus Jesus knows the world we live in, particularly the grip of sin on this world and the consequent misery it brings.  Therefore, He reassures me of His Presence and that there isn’t anything to worry about.

If at all we needed to worry, it would be that we wouldn’t be able to spend eternal life in heaven with Him, which is why He worked the greatest miracle of giving us salvation, even though Father God had told Adam that on the day he ate of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, he would surely die.  Yet, God in His mercy saved us from death and instead, sent His only begotten Son to the gallows so to say.  That’s because He loves us so much.  Yes, my friend, God loves us so much…how much I can’t say for I know, no matter what I say, it would be grossly insufficient.  Look at our Word today and know the tremendousness of His love and the fact that none can keep us from it – yea, none.  Let the devil try but he’ll fail miserably in keeping us from God’s love.  No one can keep us from the gentle and comforting hands of our Father God and rest assured, if you believe in His Son, you’ll be secure with Him in the age to come.
