Honour


Those who trust in me will never be put to shame
Isa:49:23

None of us want to be ashamed before others. None of us in this world want to be defamed. Everyone wants to be appreciated. Everyone wants to be approved not condemned. 
The fallen nation will rise again. The people will gather from the ends of the earth under one nation, that was proven to be scattered. The promise is, the Lord will bring them back under one flag. 
Though there was no open ridicule among the nation's, when this happened ultimately in May 14, 1948, it was God's name that was being glorified. He is true; that fact is ascertained. He stayed true to His word and Israel was finally honoured. 
Though He says again and again that He does not work in accordance with the system of this world, He does it yet, again and again because He says He would. 

You have turned our mourning into dancing
You have taken off my sack cloth and clothed me with joy  Ps:30:3

Never again will you be called 'The forsaken city' or 'The desolate land'
Your new name will be 'The city of God's delight' and 'The bride of God'
For the Lord delights in you
And will claim you as His bride.  Isa:62:4

Instead of shame and dishonour
You will enjoy a double share of honour
You will possess a double portion of prosperity in your land
And everlasting joy will be yours  Isa:61:7

But why does He do that? - Not for your sake. For His name's sake. 
And if you concentrate on this doing of His rather than Him, you are no less than the one's who Jesus Himself calls as hypocrites who looked for a political uprising caused by a leader called Messiah. Messiah had come to offer salvation for many not to save them from the clutches of the Roman Empire. They got it all wrong. 

Yes God will honour you. For you are His love. You are His bride. The ultimate honour happens at the time of judgement where those who are washed in His blood are called to eternity to part take in His heirship. And if you focus on the glory here rather than knowing God which is defined by Jesus Himself as eternal life - you miss the point.

Love beyond the enemy line - a poem

For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. Gal:3:26 Enemy I was; born to hate Him. Told to hate Him; I was His sworn in enemy. I had declared rebellion. I did not have anything to do with Him. And His good and perfect will. I was comfortable in my own way. In my old master's way. Rather, I was really really uncomfortable there. His hatred to sin, made me His enemy too. Yet. He loved me. I don't understand. Though I was far away behind the enemy line, He saw me. For He was my Creator. For He was my Husband. But I turned my face away. In hatred. Someone had to pay the ransom to set me free. Even when I was unwilling. Grace, prompted Him to do it Himself. Unending love; He gave Himself over for my sake. To be tortured, to be 'punished', to be killed. So that I could be saved. I saw that far beyond in that line. Insignificant as I am, did He do it with me in His mind? He looked at me with passion. He told my name - 'for you I endure' and ...

Be a man.

1 Cor:16:13 Be on the alert, stand firm in faith; act like men; be strong. Watch out. Look out. Be on the alert. Stand firm in faith. That is what men do. Be strong. Stay strong. Dwindling in your trust in God is what children do. Act like the man you are. Be a man. Stay strong on your faith. No matter what happens, hold fast to your God. That is mature faith. Do not let go to fear or anxiety. Be strong. Faith is trusting God, the Father despite what the circumstances look like. Knowing fully that He is in control. That He will take care and thats enough. He is enough. Image credit; https://www.freepik.com/premium-photo/hand-holding-fist-symbol-determination_139829368.htm

Covenantal Promise

Gal:3:17 What I am saying is this: the Law which came four hundred and thirty years later does not invalidate a covenant previously ratified by God; so as to nullify the promise. The covenantal Promise was given first. Later the Law. Therefore the Law isn't greater. The Promise is. The Law doesn't invalidate it. But ascertains it. It was an addendum. The promise is based on grace alone. Not that grace came along afterwards. It was not by deeds that Abraham was saved. Abraham believed God and it was credited to Him as righteousness.  So does it mean that the election is based on your  faith? Because the first mention is about being chosen because of Abraham's faith. Then look further more. You have been chosen by Grace even before you were born in your mother's womb. Even before the foundations of the earth was laid. So what comes first. Law? Or Grace?. Grace was already given. When we didn't even think about it.  Deeds are important. But grace is even mo...

Formed

Until Christ be formed in you. Gal:4:19 That was the sole desire of Paul regarding the Galatians. That Christ be formed in them. Infact that is God's desire in your life. That Christ be formed in you completely. Formed fully in you. That you be transformed into the likeness of Christ Jesus. To purge out all evil. To purge out all that is unChristlike.   But are you willing? Image courtesy: https://regehrlein.wordpress.com/2021/07/05/god-is-the-potter-and-we-are-the-clay/

Grace

Gal:1:15 But when God who had set me apart even from my mother's womb and called me through His grace. A persecutor of the church; a tormentor of Christians. Chosen. Set apart even from His mother's womb. By Grace. Grace is too simple a word to say. Yet a heavy word to comprehend.  Why would He give unmerited favour, when we least deserved it. At the peak of rebellion; in the midst of clenched fists, He chose to reveal His Son to me. All I could say is. Thank you Father.
