Thoughts for another day

June 11, 2014.

Today's verse:  Matt. 18:20. For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. (KJV)

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

How nice it is to know and realise that our Lord gives us such assurance of His Presence with us.  You know He is always there with us, but in the community of men, He is definitely present.  And just so we may think that there’re many men needed in that community for Him to be there, He junks the idea and says it’s just two or three, gathered in His Name when He is there among them. 

Now think about this: You go to church and you’re feeling low; you also see many people around you who’re gathered there for the service and then you suddenly remember this Word and believe in it; then suddenly in an instant, your spirit rises and you’re healed of your low disposition; you know something good is going to happen for something good is always in store when the Lord Jesus is around.  You recognize the power of His Word and the might of His love for you and you praise Him, Who made things so easy for you.

When I think of Jesus and His Good News, I cannot help but consider that He is so good.  In fact, by His coming here on earth, His death and His resurrection, He gave us new life and that new life comprises chiefly of being always joyful, no matter what happens.  For we know He is there when we’re with friends and family in prayer, He most certainly is a part of the group and He rejoices with us in our joy and in our praises and our giving Him glory.  Shun all fear today my friend and realise God is close to you.  He said it, that is His Word and most certainly it is engraved on the rolls of time and no one can ever etch it out.  Just trust Him when you’re praying with friends or family and He will manifest Himself to you to fill your heart with joy in abundance.
