In times past people used to seek the king’s
advice in order to find wisdom for any given situation or settle a dispute. It
was at the palace that people needed to queue in order to be heard. But those
days are long gone, even if you find yourself in a humble shack, we as
Christians are not hindered by location, we can all cry out to the King of
kings and seek at His wisdom. God has made a way for all who seek his face. If
it is a dispute you need counsel on or a miracle in your life all one needs to
do is cry out to Him. He is but a call away!
I thank God that not only the privileged
have been invited to come, but the call has gone out to the “whosoever”. Do not
look on your particular situation as dire, for it is far from that. Jesus is
touched with the feelings of all who belong to Him. In fact the worse off you
may be, the better your standing before Him actually is. We need to be needy to
have His ear bent to our cry. God loves those you trust and rely on Him. He
loves to be needed! And I love that I need Him! To be reassured of this one
fact that the God of all creation is on my side and all because of the finished
work of Calvary is a glorious thought. Praise the name of Jesus Christ my King!
Those closest to us may be dying of
some dreaded disease, lost in the vortex of their sin, either way it is
comforting that we are able to cry out to the One who has it in His power to
heal and to save. Do not lose hope when our calls are not answered to our
liking, know this of a certainty our God hears our cries. He will always act in
accordance to His good pleasure and what father does not want to give “GOOD
GIFTS” to his children, what joy we experience when we see a smile beam across
the face of a loved one, how much more glorious must that be to a God and Father
who sees life for what it is? He undoubtedly knows what is best for us. Let us
not second guess His will for our lives, as He is in perfect control. The water
of the seas stay the ground by the simple command of His voice, how much more
will He care for those who are alive and seek out His obedience for their
lives?
The trial of life is a very real
reality but our God is Sovereign over all, let us never forget that. To walk by
faith and not by sight is the call for every Christian; "Therefore I tell
you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will
drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than fooAd,
and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow
nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are
you not of more value than they? And which of you by being anxious can add a
single hour to his span of life? And why are you anxious about clothing?
Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet
I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. But
if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is
thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? Therefore
do not be anxious, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or
'What shall we wear?' For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your
heavenly Father knows that you need them all. But seek first the kingdom of God
and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. "Therefore
do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself.
Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.” (Matthew
6:25-34)
Our
God is an awesome God…
