I need reminders from time to time. How about you? This morning was one of those that I looked for, almost dug in to with the conviction that God was going to speak and to let me hear some comforting and strong words after some rather big questions. And He did.
God is good all the time!
Psalm 111:9 (NLT) --- He has paid a full ransom for his people. He has guaranteed his covenant with them forever. What a holy, awe-inspiring name he has!
Proverbs 20:27-28 (NLT) --- The Lord's light penetrates the human spirit, exposing every hidden motive. Unfailing love and faithfulness protect the king; his throne is made secure through love.
His wisdom and His love characterize our time with Him and His way with us. What else should we expect? He made us His children and He took on humanity in His son, yet God does not deal with us in human rationality or thinking or with human perspective. He deals with us the same every time.
Forgiven. He ransomed or paid the price for us.
Love. His love is the best lifetime guarantee we will ever know.
His name. Not only holy but inspiring. What can He NOT do?
Security. For His kids He is never going to fail us and will always be faithful. No, I am not a king as the Proverbs verses above say, but I am one of the King's kids. So are you!
I close by giving you some of the thoughts that continued from Psalm 111:
2 How amazing are the deeds of the Lord! All who delight in him should ponder them.
3 Everything he does reveals his glory and majesty. His righteousness never fails.
4 He causes us to remember his wonderful works. How gracious and merciful is our Lord!
7 All he does is just and good, and all his commandments are trustworthy.
8 They are forever true, to be obeyed faithfully and with integrity.
10 Fear of the Lord is the foundation of true wisdom. All who obey his commandments will grow in wisdom.
