Thoughts for another day

Aug. 30, 2013.

Today's verse: 1 Pet. 3:12. For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil. (KJV)

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

The Lord loves those walking in His path of commands, His eyes are upon them as our Scripture tells us today, so these people will enjoy the continual blessings of His hands and bask in the glory of His countenance from which comes all Grace and strength which not only helps to be in line with God’s ways, but also grow in stature before other men.  One can never know the cumulative and effective power of a man who is righteous, for God’s power is with him.  All he tends to do is successful and his every action bears fruit, for the awesome might of God is running the engine of each action.

Because the man is right in God’s sight, he isn’t confounded by evil in the world, or stung by the darts of the evil one for Grace flows like a river within him, blunting those darts; rather, whatever he endeavors to do sees the light of the day.  There’s never any dryness in the man for God is able to satiate every thirst he may feel.  His prayer rises like fragrant incense before the nostrils of the Most High and is wished speed in its answer.  God has His sights upon Him and He also strengthens him for his heart is committed to the Lord.

It’s time we did a reality check in our relationship with God and find out what we really are before Him.  Do we place Him above all others?  Do we spend time with Him and follow His bidding?  Do we place His interests above all things in our lives?  Does the very mention of Jesus kindle our hearts and enlighten out burdens?  These questions we must answer in the silence of our hearts and correct if there’s any wrong with the help of His Grace which He freely gives.  If we don’t do this, then perhaps we may have to face the frightening prospect of His face being against us; and who would want that?
