Thoughts for another day

Mar. 3, 2014.

Today's verse:  Pro. 30:5. Every word of God proves true; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him.   (RSV)

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

God’s Word is One which you can hold on to even in the face of extreme danger, provided of course you know Him, and it’s true for all who believe in Him.  I say you need to know Him because unless you know Him, how can you believe in anything He says; and if it’s only by chance and, due to an extremely difficult situation you believe in His Word as it came to your mind and there was no other option, then how can His Word benefit you for you never knew Him nor believed in Him.

But for those who believe in God and in all His work without twisting His Word or turning His ways, then you’re eligible for all that His Word says because now the door of God’s house is open to you. You’re welcome in His ramparts for you are known by Him and also by those accorded the responsibility of His domain.  You then become a chosen person, draped in royalty and holy to do His work and believe this: whatever you ask according to His Word is yours.  His Word is True for it bears His Son for His Son is His Word and in acknowledging His Son, there is His Sovereign guarantee of the fulfillment of His Word – now this isn’t any Sovereign’s guarantee but that of Almighty God, the Eternal One who neither sleeps nor slumbers and Who owns the universe.

Therefore, for us who know Him, He is a Shield and a Buckler.  He is our Safe Domain, a Strong Tower into which we can run and find refuge.   We can hide beneath the shelter of His wings which span the entire universe for what can be outside the span of it’s Creator?  Come to God O people and be His; surely He will notice you when you stand before Him with contrite hearts and look up to His face to seek your heart’s need.  He will not forsake you nor deny you that which you need and ask.  He is our Father and we must believe that He will give; for remember He loves us and has proven His love for us in giving His only Son Jesus Christ to pay the price for our sins.  In Him alone we shall find rest for our souls and perfect contentment.
