Thoughts for another day

May 8, 2014.

Today's verse:  2 Thess. 3:3. But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil. (KJV)

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

We humans are weak and our feet may stumble.  There’re many things that may go wrong with us and we may not be able to lift ourselves up from the rut we’re in and at times we may also reach the end of the rope in that there’s no strength left in us to even tide over the situation.  But clearly and surely, the Lord our God, Whom we believe in and Whom we follow is not weak.  He is the LORD God Almighty; God from all ages and awesomely powerful, Whose power we can’t comprehend nor measure. 

Our Word today tells us that He is faithful, and He will endure with us till the end.  He beckons us to come when He says, ‘come to Me all you who labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest.’  He lifts up the yoke covering us and breaks it like a burnt stick.  We can roam free in the choice pasture of His making and He leads us into calm and still water, refreshing our souls.  There’s no bridle that can hold nor shackle that can tie us when God is by our side.  He gives strength and establishes us according to His gracious might and He keeps our names alive on the earth for we’re His children.

The best I like in all this is that He keeps us away from evil and keeps evil away from us.  He leads us away from all temptation and delivers us from evil, for the air on earth is laced with the corrosion of wickedness and filth, where immorality and debauchery revel and thrive.  God knows those who are His and He keeps them.  Today if there’s some confidence in us that we’ll not suffer the corruption of the world then we’re right but it’s not because of what we are and what we are capable of doing.  It’s because we have a God who is capable and it is He who will do it for us to show us His power and keep us with Him for He is pleased with all those who believe and obey His Son Jesus Christ.
