SOUNDING OUT:
What Do You Want?
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.
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.
12 Then shall ye call upon
me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken
unto you.
13 And ye shall seek me,
and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your
heart.
