The Depth of the Richness of God

 

     Moving deeper with God, moving into a more intimate relationship, takes time. Any relationship worth having involves communication, trust and love. Jesus is our constant companion, willing to be centered in every moment of our lives. His ways are so much deeper and higher than anything we can do on our own.

     Do not move into the ways of the world. The Bible tells us the days will, with ever-increasing intensity, grow more and more evil, until they look like the times of Noah. Storms will increase with intensity and frequency (Matthew 24, Luke 21), violence will increase, but so will God’s light. This is our time of grace. Let’s make the most of it. Listen. Go deep. Take time. Love Jesus and share that love with the world.

Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable His judgments and His paths beyond tracing out! Who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been His counselor? Who has ever given to God that God should repay them? For from Him and through Him and for Him are all things. To Him be the glory, forever! Amen Romans 11:34-36

     All things for Him. All things from Him. All things through Him. Jesus will overcome the evils of this world. We are victorious, even over death.

They will wage war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will triumph over them because He is Lord of Lords and King of Kings-and with Him will be His called, chosen and faithful followers. Revelation 17:14

  Yes, we will be with Him! That’s us; called, chosen, faithful.

Lord,

Thank You for the promises You have given us. We are Yours, now and forever and, one day soon, You will vanquish all evil. Draw us closer to You and to Your Word, until You guide us home..

In Jesus name,

Amen
