In the days we live in, things are very
unstable and you may have a tendency to doubt whether God still provides for
His people. God is not a God who deserts
His people because He is always faithful. Please read Psalms 103:1-18, “Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within
me, bless his holy name. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his
benefits: who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; who
redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and
tender mercies; who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is
renewed like the eagle's. The Lord executeth righteousness and judgment for all
that are oppressed. He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the
children of Israel. The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and
plenteous in mercy. He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger
forever. He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to
our iniquities. For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy
toward them that fear him. As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he
removed our transgressions from us. Like as a father pitieth his children, so
the Lord pitieth them that fear him. For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth
that we are dust. As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field,
so he flourisheth. For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place
thereof shall know it no more. But the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to
everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's
children; to such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his
commandments to do them.”
God loves us and cares for us and His Word
says that He will never leave us or forsake us. If we feel separated from God it is probably
because we moved away from Him because of sin, or maybe we have been
disappointed for some reason or other, or maybe our enemy has caused us to
doubt God’s promises, or we are conforming to the world and not letting our
minds be transformed by meditating and studying the Word of God. Remember we have been adopted into God’s
family, if we are truly born-again.
Read about the love of God in Isaiah 49:13-16,
“Sing, O heavens; and be joyful, O earth;
and break forth into singing, O mountains: for the Lord hath comforted his
people, and will have mercy upon his afflicted. But Zion said, The Lord hath
forsaken me, and my Lord hath forgotten me. Can a woman forget her sucking
child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they
may forget, yet will I not forget thee. Behold, I have graven thee upon the
palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me.”
Just as the good Lord provided for His
children who were Israelites or Jews He will also provide for His redeemed who
trust in Him and strive to live godly lives. Please read 1 Peter 5:6-11, “Humble yourselves therefore under the
mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: casting all your care upon
him; for he careth for you. Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the
devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: whom
resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are
accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. But the God of all grace,
who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have
suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you. To him be
glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen”
So trust in the Lord and lean not on your
own understanding but in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your
paths straight and think about this; that all things work together for good to those
who love God to those who are the called according to His purpose!! And remember, God’s purpose is this, read Jeremiah
29:11, “For I know the thoughts that I
think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give
you an expected end.”
Enough said I have given you something to
think about and I hope this will help you and encourage you!! May the good Lord bless you and yours and may
you have a super day!!
