Power and Grace

Jeremiah 32:17, 18, 19

“O Sovereign LORD!  You have made the heavens and earth by

your strong hand and powerful arm.  Nothing is too hard for You! 

You are the great and powerful God, the Lord of Heavens Armies. 

You have all wisdom and do great and mighty miracles.  (NLT)

     For the people who make mother earth their god and rely solely on her as their source for life, there is a Truth that must be heard and understood while there is still time for them to hear it. This dying world and most of its people have been duped by the lies of the devil and it's drawing them away from their Creator, Provider, Protector, and Savior. The Lord has been calling out to the deceived people of this world for thousands of years, trying to rescue them from the darkness so they can live in the Light of His Truth. Our Sovereign God knows how futile it is to live apart from Him, for without His power and grace to sustain us, Satan and this fallen world will devour us. When we depend solely on the world to meet our needs, it is not only a foolish choice, but it is also wasting a precious life, because loving this world and this short life on it more than the LORD God, is living a death sentence—a life that is lived in vain and one without hope. 

     Our Lord wants every person He creates to rely on Him in trust, believing He will supply them with everything they need to live a righteously good life—a life filled everlasting joy and the hope of Heaven as their peace.  When many of us take the hand of God, He drags us out of our sin screaming and kicking, but He eventually sets us down firmly in the Light that leads to everlasting life.  And along the way we gain the wisdom to accept the hardships of life as the pathway to peace.  When you rely on the Lord, He is always with you and guiding your life-journey Home.  But if you deny the Lord and refuse to take His hand, the day of reckoning will come like a thief in the night, and you will beg God for another chance only to be denied because you denied Him.

                      A Whisper of Hope

Am your Creator…the One who knows you best.  I know everything that you will ever need for life, from the smallest to the greatest.  You must not worry yourself, dear child, for I will give you exactly what you need when you need it.  Trust and rely on Me to be your Provider, because I gave My life to save yours. I will never forsake you nor will I ever abandon you.

Hebrews 4:16

So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious

God.  There we will receive His mercy, and we will

find grace to help us when we need it.  (NLT)

     How blessed are the people whose God is the LORD!
