Thoughts for another day

Nov. 20, 2013.

Today's verse: Amos 3:3. Can two walk together, except they be agreed? (KJV)

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

As Christians, we walk the pilgrim journey and it’s a journey from the time we’re born till we die.  Each human must walk this journey and while there could be companions on the way, at some point they leave when their journey is over.  So who could we find as our companion to walk with us right through?  It is the Lord of course who has consented to be with us in saying, ‘I will never fail you nor forsake you,’ Heb. 13:5. To have the Lord walk with us, it’s necessary to know certain conditions and we need to know what they are so we’re never away from the Lord.  Before we talk of the conditions and even before we think of them, we must learn to believe in God.  Believe? You may say ‘oh, I believe.’  But do you really?  This belief must be such that each moment, we’re aware of His Presence and talk with Him.

One of the conditions is that we agree to His will, for even before we were born, the Lord has willed something for us and it’s pertinent we are subject to it for then we’ll be under His hand of favor, always.  His blessings will pour in our lives and we’ll be happy and never in need.  Is it too hard to accept God’s will?  Not at all, for remember, He knows what’s best for you and His will moves you to the best He has in store for you.  You must understand that sometimes, what happens may not seem good to us but we must believe its good for God knows what’s best. 

Then to have Him with us, we must obey; look, God places obedience the highest order for His blessings to pour on us and there’s nothing else that can be so good in His sight.  Next, we know that it is love for Him and for others that must be in our hearts for without love, how can He ever be with us?  Love is His nature and love is His way, and if we don’t have love in us, we can’t walk with Him and He will leave us.  Now, these are a few conditions we agree with God while we’re on our pilgrim journey and He will be with us, walking and talking to us and holding our hand.  Sometimes, we may fail in the conditions, but He will tell us that and help us course correct for He is a forgiving God and He is the best friend forever.
