Where God has MERCY.

28/7/2009

Comments

 
Ever do something that you've come to regret?  Did it have awful consequences?

Take time and read this account of David in 1 Chronicles 21.  Please stop and take the time...

David seemed to have a bit of a knack for arrogant decisions that resulted in heavy consequences.  This sounds much too familiar to me!  sigh.  BUT, here is what struck me in this story.  When David repented before God, God relented on carrying out the full punishment.  The place where God stopped, was the very spot that the Tabernacle was built in Jerusalem... where God's presence would dwell! 

Do you see it?!  God's place of dwelling is at the point of His Mercy.  It is found in our humility & brokenness.  This is where He delights to be.  This is where we experience the beauty of His holiness.

How great God is and how feeble I am.  I am a pendulum in my head, but God is my Rock.  I am no better than those who frustrate me, but God is my Rock.

Hang on to those who live like David.  They may do foolish things, but they always come back to God in extravagant surrender.

He does give aid.

[to provide support for or relief to; help or assist] 
Hebrews 2:16-18 says that Jesus became like us so He would be able to help us when we are tempted.  He understands what you are dealing with & what you are going through; and wants to help.  Listen to what verse 18 says... "For in that He Himself (Jesus) has suffered, being tempted, He is able to aid those who are tempted." 

He's offering His assistance.  Take it -- you can trust Him.

He sat down.

"But this man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down..." 

Jesus; after doing all that He did, sat down.  Don't you love it?!  This man lived in peace.  He was not driven out of a compulsion to 'do something', but simply did what His Father asked Him to... and then sat down.  What relief, to me anyway as I have not always been too good with the 'sitting' part of life.

The key is in listening to God's voice and knowing that His purposes are to be mine.  There is no room for striving in this equation.

Hesed.

14/7/2009

Comments

 

"How deep, how wide is the love of God..."  What God loves, He loves always. 

I can read about it (Deuteronomy 7:9; Exodus 34:6; Psalm 136; Psalm 107...), I can see it all around me and I can experience it (in fact, I have). 

Today, I was reading in Hosea and saw the heart of God, His sympathy, His agonizing love toward His people.  This is 'hesed'... never ending, renewing mercy, loyal, covenant love.

May God's hesed bring us to worship Him.  May it compel us to love like He does.

Hosea 11:8
“ How can I give you up, Ephraim?
      How can I hand you over, Israel?
      How can I make you like Admah?
      How can I set you like Zeboiim?
      My heart churns within Me;
      My sympathy is stirred..."

Master of BREAKthroughs!!

13/7/2009

Comments

 

What a title!  This is exactly what God is.  He breaks through with power for those who are seeking & running after His heart.  He saves.  He delivers.  He redeems. 

I've been reading through Chronicles and came on this verse today... "God has broken through my enemies by my hand like a breakthrough of water." 1 Chronicles 14:11  David named the place of their victory, Baal Perazim or 'Master of Breakthroughs!!  Don't you love that!?

Inquire of Him, follow what He says, and you will see a breakthrough in your situation.

Faith.

11/7/2009

Comments

 

Seeing is NOT believing.  Believing is trust and you cannot always see what you are trusting in.  Faith is acting on that trust.  I believe, so I speak...  (2 Corinthians 4:13)

I just finished watching a great movie called 'Faith Like Potatoes'. (Get a hold of it and listen... make sure you catch all the documentaries as they are the best part)

My faith (how be it all so small) is stirred.  Let yours be stirred also...

Comments

Hold Fast.

9/7/2009

Comments

 

God is faithful and rewards those who cling to & follow in His ways.  You will not only find rest by holding fast to the LORD, but you will find favour & wisdom.

Hezekiah was one of the last kings of Judah and the Bible says that God was with him and caused him to prosper... Why?  Because he held fast to His God.  He trusted, obeyed, clung to and followed the LORD.  (2 Kings 18:3-8)

...let me elaborate on the word 'prosper' so we can better understand.  In the original text the word prosper was used in the following context: to consider, instruct, be prudent, have skill, to teach, to understand, act & behave wisely, to comprehend, to discern, an expert, to gain insight, and give heed... (NAS Strong's Version)

Comments

Rest.

8/7/2009

Comments

 

Psalm 62:1  How quickly I forget to trust in God!  When this happens all peace just goes out the window.  BUT... when I remember and place my trust back where it belongs, my faith is renewed and my soul finds rest. 

Learn of God.  Trust Him with your life & circumstances.  You will find rest... He promised. 

Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. Matthew 11:29

Comments

Choices.

7/7/2009

Comments

 

We live by our choices.  You can act & risk to be perceived in a wrong way OR you can do nothing & not be perceived at all.  (Bruce Mann) 

If I choose to let fear be my reasoning, I will stand before God one day and be extremely disappointed.  Hmmm, so will He!  Oh, how I desperately want to hear Him say, "Well done..."  Matthew 25:23

Comments

Be Grateful for Today.

4/7/2009

Matthew 6:34.  Ever since my brother & his wife died in 1990, I am conscious of this simple fact... I have today.  Yesterday is gone & tomorrow will always become another today.  Thank God for today.
