They will become subject to him,
So that they may distinguish My service
From the service of the kingdoms of the nations!
2 Chronicles 12:8 NKJV
How essential for our well-being the Word of God becomes personally known, for when we fall short and are judged by the Lord, we are disciplined and chastened, so that we may not be condemned to eternal punishment along with the world (1 Corinthians 11:32 AMP).
God exists and we matter to Him
Believe it!
God could and would if He were sought!
“What we once enjoyed and deeply loved we can never lose,
For all that we love deeply becomes a part of us!”Hellen Keller
Is it not true, we have had human fathers who corrected us, and we paid them respect. Shall we not much more readily be in subjection to the Father of spirits and live? (Hebrews 12:5-10). For God is far greater than any human! He always speaks into our lives, one way or another, even when people don’t recognize His presence.
The only thing worse than being blind,
Is having sight but no vision!
Helen Keller
Admit we are powerless
If God is your co-pilot, switch seats!
For God speaks in a dream for instance, a vision at night, when we are deep in sleep in our beds – God opens our ears and impresses us with warnings to turn us back from something bad we are planning, from some reckless choice we are making (Job 33:12-17 Message).
That He may withdraw us from a self-defeating purpose and cut off pride from us to disgust us with our own disappointing self-sufficiency. That He may hold us back from the pit of destruction, and our life from perishing by the sword (Job 33:17-18 AMP).
Acknowledge in certain areas our life became unmanageable
Sorrow shared is halved; Joy shared is doubled!
Do not think of today’s failures,
But of the success that may come tomorrow!
Helen Keller
Repent therefore! Otherwise, the Lord will soon come and will fight against them with the sword of His mouth (Revelation 2:16). Yes, the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the breath of His mouth and destroy by the splendor of His coming (2 Thessalonians 2:8).
We invest in our relationship with God
By communicating through prayer and meditation
To improve our conscious contact with Him,
Seeking knowledge of His will
And the power of grace to carry that out
If God seems far away, who moved?
The best and most beautiful things in the world,
Cannot be seen or touched,
They must be felt with the heart!
Helen Keller
No eye has seen, no ear has heard and no mind has imagined
What God has prepared for those who love Him!
1 Corinthians 2:9 NLT
