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 (the Christian
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 carnal flesh,
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
Lord God. 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 sins
and 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.
And 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.
(1 Peter 1:14)
