OUR GOD IS THE GREAT GOD - PART 1

Psalm 95:3 NKJV For the LORD is the great God, And the great King above all gods.

Children have a simple faith, uncomplicated by the world’s thinking and Jesus said to have the faith of a little child in order to enter His kingdom, so I thought it would be good to remind ourselves of how great and awe inspiring our God is through the eyes of simple faith.😊

Over the next couple of days I invite you to join with me as we look at some truths to jog our memories to help us appreciate all God is to us, in our here and now.

Our God is the only God. Psalm 86:10

God is good and does only good. Psalm 119:68 

God is present everywhere and all powerful. Jeremiah 23:23-24/Psalm 147:5.  

God loves us with an everlasting love and has drawn us to Himself. Jeremiah 31:3

God is for us, not against us. Romans 8:31
God is a generous God. He has given us everything we need to live a godly life. 2 Peter 1:3

God chooses to see us as holy and righteous if Jesus is our Lord and Saviour. Ephesians 1:4

Every now and again, if we can stop for a minute and think about each of those truths individually, and let them sink into our hearts afresh, I believe they will settle us down and give us His great peace, no matter what’s going on around us, because they remind us we have the ultimate back up and we’re not alone.

The lovely thing is we’re all invited into the very throne room of this great and awesome God and all because of Jesus.😊

Thank You Lord. Amen.

(PS: You might like to look up the references in different translations and let the Lord bless your heart as He ministers His greatness and goodness to you.😊)

LIFE GOES ON

Psalm 32:8 NLT The Lord says, “I will guide you along the best pathway for your life. I will advise you and watch over you.

Well Jesus had been safely delivered but now Mary and Joseph had a baby to feed, nappies to wash and they needed to find somewhere more comfortable to live. Mary didn’t exactly have the comfort of a thick mattress to lie on to recover from the birth!😊

Life had to go on and it’s the same for us all - life goes on, but the big and wonderful difference now, is that Jesus is in the middle of it all, and His presence changes everything - just like He did for Mary and Joseph. 

As Mary held Jesus hand in hers, now He holds each one of us in His powerful hand and He has promised to guide us along the best pathway for each day.

As we continue with family get togethers and then look forward to things returning to normal, may our normal be filled with the awareness and closeness of God in each of our lives. He is our ever present Helper and Counsellor, our Advocate, our Intercessor, our Healer, our Provider and Protector.

Whatever we need Jesus to be, He is the ‘I Am’, in other words, He is whoever we will need Him to be in the days to come. He fulfils our every need, He is our Strong Tower and Refuge when the storms hit. He is our Comforter and our Joy Giver.😊

I’m so thankful Jesus came, aren’t you? He has dealt with our past, He is guiding us through our present, and He has given us a future with Him in glory. What a wonderful Saviour we have each and every day. 

Thank You Lord for coming. Amen.
