“Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever.” (Psalm 136:1)
“Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you preserve my life; you stretch out your hand against the wrath of my enemies, and your right hand delivers me.” (Psalm 138:7)
November 26, 2018 - As God’s love is steadfast, enduring forever, I have no fear of this world for I know that the power of my God is greater than any power of this earth and that he will deliver me from my enemies. And I know that if he chooses not to pluck me from the clutches of my enemies, that he will receive me into his kingdom forever.
So, what have I to fear from the world and all its evils; nothing, for my God has already overcome the world and all who follow him shall overcome the world by his strength and mercy.
“Where shall I go from your Spirit? Or where shall I flee from your presence?” (Psalm 139:7)
Because God is Omnipresent, meaning he is everywhere at once, there is no where that I can go where God cannot see me and protect me from evil.
If I sink to the bottom of the sea, or climb the highest mountain, or go into the darkest place, God is already there watching out for me, lighting my path as bright as the mid-day sun.
“Give thanks to the God of heaven for his steadfast love endures forever.” (Psalm 136:26)
I can truly say this day as did the great servant of God, Job; “For I know that my Redeemer lives, and at the last he will stand upon the earth.” (Job 19:25)
Yes, I know from the pages of God’s Holy Word that he lives and that some day, when he chooses, he will return to the earth and he will stand on the mountain of Zion and all peoples from all over the world will come and bow down to him as they tremble in fear at the sight of his majesty and power.
Oh what a day that will be when my Redeemer returns to rule and reign over the earth.
So the thing that I must ask you this day is; “where will you be when he returns in glory and power?”
The price of salvation has been paid for all people, have you accepted your salvation, if Christ returns today will he find you anxiously, joyously waiting for him or will he find you with the world, hiding in fear of his wrath which is soon to come to the world?
“For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people, training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age, waiting for our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for himself a people for his own possession who are zealous for good works. Declare these things, exhort and rebuke with all authority. Let no one disregard you.” (Titus 2:11-15)
And so I ask you once again, if Christ were to return today, where would he find you? There is a choice that every person must make, either to follow God and have eternal life in the Spirit, or, follow the devil and the world and die the second death, the death of one’s spirit, sentenced to an eternity of torment in the fires of hell. Choose wisely today for your decision is forever. May you find your blessings in the Lord this day and know his joy forever…
