We should never feel oppressed or forgotten because THE WORD OF GOD SAYS..."The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. Those who know His name will trust in Him, for He, the Lord, has never forgotten those who seek Him!" Because of that assurance, HIS WORD TELLS US..."I will praise You, O Lord, with all my heart; I will tell of all Your wonders. I will be glad and rejoice in You; I will sing praise to Your name, O Most High!
This morning the Lord gave me a sweet message. As the thunder crashed during a rain storm, my heart felt close to God. It reminded me of when I was frightened at night as a child, I would hear my father snoring and that sound reassured me that he was right there and that I wasn't alone. If anything happened, my dad would be there and that made me feel safe and protected. The thunder was God's "sound" that brought me that same comfort and peace! It also made me think of His great power and might, as it is written in the Gospel of Matthew, chapter eight, when the disciples said, "Even the winds and the waves obey Him!"
Sister's and brother's in Christ...The same power that raised Christ from death is available to us! Think about that! The WORD OF GOD is there for us to claim this truth! If you're new to reading your bible, I suggest starting with the Gospel of John in the New Testament, then read chapter eight of Romans and you will not want to stop receiving this living water! We spend a lot of time talking to God but the bible is one of His ways to talk to you!
Doesn't that just blow your mind! The God of the universe wants to be with you, talk with you and never leave you! He wants to guide you, comfort you, give you wisdom, discernment and victory! He wants to sit with you when you don't feel well, cheer you on at your ball game, keep you company on long drives and sit in the sun with you! He wants to go before you and make a way, he wants to hear you sing, see you dance, and sit on your kitchen stool as you cook! He will sit in prison with you, help you find your way home, hold you when your parents are arguing and be your only true friend when others diss you. If you get trapped in a mine...He will be there. If you end up alone on a space mission....He will be there. When everything around you falls...He will be standing right there to help you. He's on your side and He loves you more than you'll ever be able to comprehend! Spend some quality time with Him today.
