“Most Holy One”

 Isaiah 43:1, 2, 3

“Do not be afraid, for I have ransomed you.  I have called you by name; you are

mine.  When you go through deep waters and great trouble, I will be with you. 

When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown! When you walk

through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not

consume you.  For I am the LORD, your God, your Savior.”  (NLT)

    These Living Words of God from the Old Testament are as true today as they were back then.  This incredible, life changing Truth is God’s promise to everyone who belongs to Him.  When we become a part of the Body of Christ (God’s Church) we are no longer like a lone wolf who is hungrily searching to satisfy its appetites.  For unlike the wolf we have a conscience and the free will to choose and decipher what we want to feed on.  But sadly, many of us like the wolf, feed on whatever satisfies the cravings of our sinful flesh no matter what, rather than feeding on every Word of God that nourishes our souls and saves our eternal lives.  As sinful human beings living in a sin-filled world, we tend to spend more time searching for and feeding on the things that are both physically and spiritually unhealthy—worldly things that lead us away from the Truth.  But when we surrender our lives to the Lord, He breaks the sinful instincts that hold us captive to our sinful appetites and we are given a new life in Christ.  And with this new life we not only receive everything needed to survive this difficult life, but our spiritual hunger for God and eternity is being satisfied as well. 

     When we accept the sacrificial death of Christ Jesus as the price paid for our salvation, we rightly belong to God, because He personally paid the price that set us free from our bondage to sin and death.  Your eternal life has been bought and paid for.  I think the most incredible sensation I have ever experienced was when the reality hit me that I was truly an eternal member of the Kingdom of God—that I was now and forevermore a citizen of Heaven and a child of the Living God.  You, too, can experience this awesome sense of truly belonging to the LORD God Almighty—the One who gave His life so you could keep yours forever. And as a child of God, you will receive an everlasting peace amidst all the chaos around you, an everlasting joy even in your deepest sorrows, and the courage to live in the face of death as a redeemed child of the Most Holy One. 

                                                                

                                  A Whisper of Hope

Live in peace, My child…because when you belong to Me you are safe.  I Am the One who has set you free from this world driven by sin and Satan; a world that hates My very Name.  When you hear My calling, it is best that you follow My voice, for I will lead you Home to streams of living Water.  

1 Samuel 2:2

No one is holy like the LORD!

There is no one besides You;

there is no Rock like our God.  (NLT)

                           Obey God because you are His children.
