Friday, November 09, 2007 – How?

Hello everyone,
How are you doing on this day? I hope well and that things are going on well with you – where you are. The other day, a friend of mine was tipping the chair I was sitting on backward – a real game of trust, for I had to trust that he will not let me fall. Interestingly enough, that is the same way we are with God – He being our Maker, we trusting that He will not let us go – we cannot see what is going to happen the next minute, talkless of the next second. For instance, what are the odds that as the previous sentence was being written, the computer would take that moment to do its “weekly reboot,” and called for a saving of all work, if not the work would be lost. So, we do not know what is going to happen, but God does and we bless Him for He is in control and His thoughts towards us are that of peace, and not of evil, to give us a future, a hope and an expected end.

Now, we see in John 14v22, when Jesus said He who has His commandments, and keeps them, He is it that loves Him, and His Father will love the person, and Jesus will love the person and will manifest Himself to the person. The very last phrase seemed to pique some interest for:

“Judas saith unto Him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that Thou wilt manifest Thyself unto us, and not unto the world?” (King James Version)

“Judas, not Iscariot, asked Him, Lord, how is it that You will reveal Yourself [make Yourself real] to us and not to the world?” (Amplified Bible)

What do you think?

Verses for thought:
“The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD: but the prayer of the upright is His delight.

The way of the wicked is an abomination unto the LORD: but He loveth him that followeth after righteousness.” Proverbs 15v8&9

Our dearest heavenly Father,
Good morning Daddy, Good morning Jesus, Good morning Holy Spirit of God. We thank You so much for this day which You have made, that we can rejoice and be glad in. We thank You for our lives that are in Your hands and for engraving us upon the palms of Your hands. How great Thou art. We thank You so much for crowning us with Your lovingkindness and for Your favour which You have showed toward us in not letting our enemies triumph over us. We bless You King of glory for all that You are doing in our lives and for Your thoughts towards us which are thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give us a future, a hope and an expected end. Blessed be Your holy name forevermore, in Jesus name. Lord of the Harvest, we pray too that You send forth labourers into Your harvest, for the harvest indeed is plenteous, but the labourers are few. Have Your way O Lord in our lives, even now and evermore, in Jesus mighty name we pray with thanksgiving. Thank You Father, thank You Son, thank You Holy Spirit of God, in Jesus name we pray, amen.
