Thoughts for another day

Sept. 6, 2013.

Today's verse: 2 Chron. 27:6. Thus Jotham continued to grow strong because he lived resolutely in the Presence of the LORD, his God (NAB  – copy. ack)

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

There is a rule in the natural realm: Everything that’s there faces decay, gradually.  Take for example humans, they’re born, they grow up and each moment they live their bodies decay.  Eventually they die and then the process of decay is that much faster.  What I’m saying is that we’re constantly becoming weaker and weaker.   Though when young, we may never sense that we’re becoming weak, because the very act of growth screens the decay aspect since it’s rather over-powering. 

Similarly, that which becomes strong starts becoming weak as the years go by and we see this even in great powers like the Greek, the Romans, and close to our times, the Imperial British and wither.  But our Scripture says that Jotham continued to grow strong because he was steadfastly in the Presence of God.  Therefore, if by His Grace which flows to us freely, we can be in God’s Presence all the time, then supernatural strength comes to us.

This strength is not only physical, but also touches various aspects of our lives like our finances, our children, our properties, etc.  No decay can touch any of our things so long as we’re in God’s Presence for out of His Presence flows His awesome Power which safeguards everything that’s ours, so nothing can touch it.  And another thing, if you’re in His Presence, even if you’ve some kind of problem with which you’re grappling, then the problem is no longer your problem but of the Almighty God in whose Presence you remain.  Today, try the Jotham way, get into His Presence and remain there.  There will be much good that will come your way.
