One of the things that struck me yesterday was the way God's word is: It is particular, His instructions are very specific.
Once again; God being the generous Almighty that we know is offering free advice: Blessed are those who do not walk in step with the wicked:_| Plain clear and simple. And knowing God and who he is , I would rather follow this insight, Lest I am listed among the wicked: And that's not what I signed up for really when I took on his semblance as a child of God.
That person is like a tree planted by streams of water,
which yields its fruit in season
and whose leaf does not wither—
whatever they do prospers.
Recipe for success. Fruit , produce , bountiful harvest is only enjoyed when it is timely , thus has got to be in season. There is green all through , life is alive if I should say all through their course of life.
Life is achieved when we tap into God's abundant reservoir. There we know that His grace and favor are forever abundant in us.
Why do the nations conspire
and the peoples plot in vain?
2 The kings of the earth rise up
and the rulers band together
against the LORD and against his anointed, saying,
3 “Let us break their chains
and throw off their shackles.”
4 The One enthroned in heaven laughs;
the Lord scoffs at them.
5 He rebukes them in his anger
and terrifies them in his wrath, saying,
6 “I have installed my king
on Zion, my holy mountain.”
I am so sure that this applies to me today. I am being challenged to forgive, a lot this season of my life, and this passage reminded me why.
And for all of us in life when we get betrayed, let down,slandered, sabotaged and mocked: Do not fret, because even then, God am sure will fight for you, say to your enemies, This is my son: They ask and I will make the nations their inheritance, the ends of the earth their possession: Whoa Even so , Come Lord Jesus.
be warned, you rulers of the earth.
11. Serve the LORD with fear,
and celebrate his rule with trembling,
Kiss his son, or he will be angry
and your way will lead to your destruction,
for his wrath can flare up in a moment.
But above all: Blessed are those who take refuge in him.
Wow, Amazing, i hear you gal. I was also struck by how specific His instructions are. He makes promises and fulfills them, He also calls for our total obedience. One more thing, if God is for you who can be against you?
ReplyDeleteAnother recipe for success, our theme verse, Joshua 1:8, *Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips*; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful.
Bless You.
