God bless you in the wonderful name of Jesus Christ who blazed
the trail for us so that we could walk in his steps. We have been
saved by God's grace, and we continue to walk therein.
What would you like to see come to pass in your life? Ephesians
3:20 says that God is able to do exceeding abundantly above all
that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us."
Philippians 2:12 also encourages us to work out our own salvation
(wholeness) with fear and trembling (that is an oriental idiom for
reverence and obedience). Our reverence for and obedience to
God's Word allows us to manifest and demonstrate our wholeness to
the world.
We don't dwell on our shortcomings or the failures of the past,
but leading every thought captive to Christ, we think of ourselves
as God thinks of us. The only thing that brought us this far was
God's grace. That is not about to change. His mercy and His compassion
fail not.
Lamentations 3:22,23:
It is of the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed, because
his compassions fail not.
They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.
It is always available to put the past behind and have a fresh
start as we move on with God. God purchased our complete redemption
through Jesus Christ. His will is to work within us to will and
to do of His good pleasure (Philippians 2:13). We have the pleasure
of His company if we want it. That is called fellowship, and it
is never more than a thought away (I John 1:9). Do we think of ourselves
as God thinks of us? We are His children, and He thinks only good
of us.
Jeremiah 29:11-13:
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.
Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me,
and I will hearken unto you.
And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me
with all your heart.
What end do you expect for you endeavors? God wants a more abundant
life for us. He is just waiting for us to rise up and believe the
Word of ourselves. We simply walk with Him putting off more of the
old man and putting on more of the new man. It can be a continuous
action, but that is our choice. Choice not chance directs our lives,
so we never give up. We choose God's Word.
We can do all things through Christ who strengthens us. What are
some of the things of God that you have thought about? What have
you asked Him to do in your life? What qualities of life from God's
Word do you want to manifest in your lives? Our God can do exceeding
abundantly above all we ask or think, so what are you waiting for?
Stay in fellowship and let 'er rip!
Love ya,
Wayne
