“Safety In God”

Psalm 73:26-27
My health may fail, and my spirit may grow weak,
But God remains the strength of my heart; He is mine forever.
But those who desert Him will perish,
For You destroy those who abandon You. (NLT)

The great and mighty Sovereign God created the universe in such a way that it would always have to depend on Him for its very existence (Colossians 1:16-17). Therefore we, who He also created, depend on Him for our every need. Unfortunately, mankind has decided otherwise, and since sin entered into this world we have sought after many other gods to provide the desires of our hearts (Proverbs 14:12). Have you ever wondered why so many worldly minded people prosper greatly at the hands of others? There has been and always will be people who focus on the world and their own selfish needs for their gain; those who disregard everyone who stands in their way or differs in their ideology. But the truth is my friends, that no matter how powerful, or how rich, or how materially successful a person becomes in this life they will always stand puny and helpless before the LORD (Hebrews 4:13). But those who honor their Creator and follow His ways will find the strength they need to survive this hard and difficult life with honor and dignity. Those who are covered in Christ will be able to stand blameless and righteous before the God of the universe. Those who depend on the LORD their God will reap the rewards for eternity. But sadly, for those who live by the gods of this world and turn their backs on the only true and living God; they will not only loose their life and everything they have achieved here on earth, but they will pay dearly the price for their disobedience!

A Whisper of Hope
Look to Me, dear child…for in Me you will find safety and your every need. Do not depend on the false gods of this misguided world, because they will always let you down in the end. They will expose you to the harsh reality of a life without Me, the Creator and Sustainer of Life. Do not be duped by the Enemy but believe in the Truth, because your very life depends on Me alone.

Colossians 1:16-17
Christ is the One through whom God created everything in heaven and earth.
He made the things we can see and the things we can’t see—kings, kingdoms,
rulers, and authorities. Everything has been created through Him and for Him.
He existed before everything else began, and He holds all creation together. (NLT)

Proverbs 14:12
There is a way which seems right to a man,
But its end is the way of death. (NASB)

Hebrews 4:13
Nothing in all creation can hide from Him.
Everything is naked and exposed before His eyes.
This is the God to whom we must explain all that we have done. (NLT)
