To consider

Ps:144:3

O Lord, what are human beings that you should notice them

Mere mortals that you should think about them?

Man is so futile. Man is so tiny. He might look up the food chain. But he is indeed powerless. He is not the biggest. He is not the strongest. He is not the shrewdest. He is not the fastest. Yet he is on top. For God created man in His own image and likeness.

Considering the variety of life in this world. Considering the magnanimity and vastness of the universe. Considering the enormity that we see or cannot see. What is man to be thought off. To be considered significant. That You were willing to look down upon him and consider redeeming him from his fallenness. For which you chose to come down yourself. You chose to send your own Son. To salvage him from his wretchedness.

Who am I to be loved like this? Who am i to be cared for so unconditionally. I am a mere breath. A mere worm. Yet still you loved me. From the fallen pit you saved me. You dirtied yourself to salvage me. You who knew no sin became sin for me.

What love? Unfathomable. Un understandable. I can only be grateful. Eternally thankful. Forgive me Lord for the words of thanklessness, unfaithfulness, faithlessness and mistrust. Forgive me for forgetting Your love so often.

Name

But everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved Joel:2:32 In His name there is salvation. And if you call on His name you will be saved for sure. Jesus. Alpha and the Omega. The beginning and the end. In Him and through Him and for Him everything was created. Son of God. Son of David. Root of Jesse. Lion of Judah. The Lamb who was slain. In His name there is freedom. In His name there is deliverance. Why? Because He alone has done the redemptive act on the cross. No other name could do that. Sinless perfect lamb of God became a sin offering instead of me. He alone is worthy to do that. Therefore His name frees. His name delivers. His name saves. Jesus.

Keep your promise forever

Ps:146:6 He keeps every promise forever. Everyone loves promises. It is even more beautiful when the promise is fulfilled. God is a God of promises and He is faithful. What He promises He always fulfills. Not even one goes wayward. There is no doubt about the general promises He makes in the Bible. One by one we see them fulfilled through the story of Israel and early church. There are enough and more personal promises which are staring at you face on. He is faithful to fulfill all of them too forever. It is upto us to believe and live a peaceful life trusting in the One who called us. Rather than like a high tension wire, ready to snap. Can we believe - He will take care. He is enough. He is sufficient. He is faithful. He never changes. He will not sleep nor will He slumber. He keeps His promises forever. Amen.

Rain

For the rain He sends demonstrates His faithfulness Joel:2:23 The rain keeps coming. Season after season. Showers of blessings. Not mercy drops. It proves He is a good God. He is fully in control. He cares for us. We can see rains as either a curse or as a blessing. How we see it and acknowledge it increases our faith to Him who is faithful. He continues to shower His blessings no matter what the circumstances are. For He is always good. He is always merciful. He is always faithful. Open our eyes and see.

RRRR

Obadiah 20-21 As Edom receives all punishments, Israel is blessed. Israel is chosen to come back from exile. From the ends of the earth, they are called back into God's bosom. They - Return Resettle Rescued Rule Not because they repented and came back to the Lord. Even before they repented, He paved the way back. The door was already kept open for coming back. The choice had to be made though for them to actually return, to resettle, to be rescued, to rule. They had to make that choice. Yet the road was already set to accept them back. There was no uncertainty whether God would allow. The cross has already paved the way, the ship has already been set for return, for bringing them back. But I have to board the ship. If I don't, the loss is all mine. The ship with all its aboard passengers will sail to the promised shore, for sure. Jesus is calling- to return, to resettle, to be rescued and to rule. Will you accept? Image credit: https://www.wsj.com/articles/cr

Damascus

O Damascus. You have sinned again and again. You have bet down my people in Gilead. You have threshed the grains with iron sledges (Amos:1:3). You have been cruel. You have been rebellious. But in that road to you O Damascus. I will raise up my most used servant. He himself had tortured my own children, my own church. But I will give one opportunity which he cannot resist. Instead of the blood he shed, I will enable him to win souls for me. In that road to you, O Damascus, the cruel Saul will become the gentiles' Paul. Through you O Damascus I will prove yet again that my hand is not too short to rescue anyone whom I want to save. No pit is too dark that I can't go there to redeem. The cross is the reason. The world will know, O Damascus through you. You will know, O Damascus because of the change you will see in yourself. Through you O Damascus, everyone will see that the worst of sin that they have committed will be forgiven. No matter how dirty they are, they

Delight

Ps:147:11 The Lord's delight is in those who fear Him If you delight in Him, He will delight in you. Oh! Is it like tit for tat? No dear bard! He has already delighted in you. He has loved you while you were still His enemies. You are mine He declares. You are His signet ring, He proclaims. Not because you fear Him. Not because He foreknew you would fear Him. But because He loves. Hosea was asked to marry a harlot and he continued to love her despite her unfaithfulness. Just like He continues to delight in you oh! Bard despite your persistance and adamancy. Oh! What love. Where else can you find such love. Image credit: https://butternutbakeryblog.com/moist-chocolate-cake/

Healing

Hos:14:4 Then I will heal you of your faithlessness As you keep coming back to God's bosom with repentance, He will heal you of your faithlessness. Man has so fallen that the healing of faithlessness takes effort, takes time, takes a lot of grace. His lovingkindness heals you of this that hampers you most. Your faithlessness, the root cause of your problems, will be healed. For it is said, without faith it is impossible to please God. From that plight, it is His promise that you will be healed. And He is faithful. He is true to His word. And when He says it will happen for sure. As you keep coming back to Him, He will heal. What an assurance. Thank you Jesus.
