Until the whole world hears!

Psalm 8:5 (NLT), Psalm 67:2 (NLT), Psalm 67:5-7 (NLT), Psalm 103:8 (NLT), Acts 2:21 (NLT)

God is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger, rich in mercy and abounding in love! (Ps. 103:8)

Think about that for a moment! The almighty God of this world, universe, cosmos with just one word he could say enough already and all injustice would be wiped out – no more grace!

Yet grace waits! That part of God’s character holds back his anger. Why? Just because he loves what he has made – especially people! Do you know you are the pinacle of God’s creation! (Ps. 8:5)

The heart of God has always been that every person come back to a relationship with Father God! (Ps. 67:2, Acts 2:21)

Is it any wonder then that in the world does not know fully the blessing of the Lord? Imagine a people dedicated to the living God making him known among the nations the impact that would have on the nations of the earth!

If you know Jesus today do you know Father God has a plan and purpose for you! To impact nations that people all over the world will hear the truth about a loving God longing for relationsip with his people through his Son Jesus Christ!

You’re special!

Theres an old children’s song that goes, “I’m special because God has loved me, and he gave the best thing that he had to save me. His own son Jesus crucified to take the blame for all the bad things I have done… Thank you Jesus thank you Lord for loving me so much…” (E&OE)

This Psalm captures the heart of God for the prize of His creation – You! There is no other creature – bird, animal or fish in the sea which shares the same platform before God when it comes to the Human Race!

Consider Father gold holding you as his prize, you’re in his palm, he is smiling over you! What is your response today?


In the morning…

Psalm 5:3 (NIVUK)

How is your attitude in the morning? Its so easy to complain about yet another mundane day, yet is not good if the first thing in the morning to talk to Father God. The words of the psalmist say that in the morning the Lord hear’s your voice! A yearning when I wake up to talk to Father God about the day and to wait with expectation for what the Lord would reveal to you for the new day. A brand new day with God never to be repeated! Dear Lord help me to wait expectantly for you this day and not waste the opportunities you give me!
