Is life on earth some kind of cosmic joke?
Does God watch from a cloud and play a game of chess with us?
Does God deal out destruction just to see us struggle?
If God can intercede . . .well, why doesn't He?
Honestly we will not know the many ways He intercedes daily until we get to heaven and are absolutely wowed by it. I will praise Him for the battles I never fought because He stepped in. I will give Him glory for protection against my enemy.
Most of all, I will stand amazed in His presence for a split second before I fall on my face and thank Him for saving my soul.
Until that day, THESE THINGS I KNOW:
His work is perfect; all His ways are entirely just. A faithful God without prejudice,
He is righteous and true.
Deuteronomy 32
If we are faithless, He remains faithful, for He cannot deny Himself.
2 Timothy 2:13
For You, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive, and abundant in lovingkindness
to all who call upon you.
Psalm 86:5
The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance.
2 Peter 3:9
My momma bought me a Bible for my 16th birthday. In the front cover she wrote out Philippians 1:6. True that day and true today - I am sure of this, that He who started a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.
Those things in life He allows - the beautiful and the difficult - He allows for a purpose. The purpose of keeping His promise in Philippians 1:6.
If you have asked Jesus to be your Savior the promises are the same for you. He is always working and never forsaking.
If you have never prayed and asked Jesus to be your everything, you cannot begin to understand this blog. But, friend, I can testify Jesus is listening for your voice. He's waiting for the invite that will change your eternity. The invite that will change your today.
"Come to Me, all of you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. All of you, take up My yoke and learn from Me, because I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for yourselves. For My yolk is easy and My burden is light.
Matthew 11
I cannot imagine a single moment of the day or night without Him.
These things I know: God is good. God is just, God is faithful.
God is always working.
Yes, these things I know.
