SO HIGH YET HE CARES FOR US

-

1 Kings 8:22-23,27-28

Then Solomon stood before the altar of the Lord in front of the entire community of Israel. He lifted his hands toward heaven,
and he prayed,“O Lord, God of Israel, there is no God like you in all of heaven above or on the earth below. You keep your covenant and show unfailing love to all who walk before you in wholehearted devotion.
“But will God really live on earth? Why, even the highest heavens cannot contain you. How much less this Temple I have built!
Nevertheless, listen to my prayer and my plea, O Lord my God. Hear the cry and the prayer that your servant is making to you today.


Have you ever thought of how High and Glorious God is, how much powerful and big He is. The whole universe is just a figment to Him.


Isaiah 40:22,25-26
God sits above the circle of the earth.
The people below seem like grasshoppers to him!
He spreads out the heavens like a curtain and makes his tent from them.
“To whom will you compare me?
Who is my equal?” asks the Holy One.
Look up into the heavens.
Who created all the stars?
He brings them out like an army, one after another, calling each by its name.
Because of his great power and incomparable strength, not a single one is missing.


Yet in all these glory the Heavenly Father has thought for man that He created.


Is this not great. Then why would we not want to take advantage of it and not lose this grace?


We should come closer to Him to enjoy the Fatherly love and care which He gives to us as His children, including all the chastisement and continual growth.


We cannot afford to make the mistake the children of Israel made.


Hebrews 3:12-15
Be careful then, dear brothers and sisters. Make sure that your own hearts are not evil and unbelieving, turning you away from the living God.
You must warn each other every day, while it is still “today,” so that none of you will be deceived by sin and hardened against God.
For if we are faithful to the end, trusting God just as firmly as when we first believed, we will share in all that belongs to Christ.
Remember what it says:
“Today when you hear his voice,
    don’t harden your hearts
    as Israel did when they rebelled.”


Why would we look for another when there is only one.


He said:

Isaiah 45:5a
I am the Lord; there is no other God.


There is no salvation anywhere else.


Acts 4:12
There is salvation in no one else! God has given no other name under heaven by which we must be saved.”


We must take advantage of God's open invitation to us.


Can we stop chasing after men, religion, world and all these things that are just vanity and come to our Heavenly Father.


Can we take care of our eternity now while we are here on earth and yet enjoy the glory of His presence here on earth day after day.


As we go about our daily schedule may we understand that we are not in this world as a prey of the enemy but a child of the God who created the heaven and the earth.


Glory to the Lord who created the heavens and the earth and yet cares for us.


PRAYER
Loving Father, keep us faithful to You, enjoying Your Fatherly love even as we obey You in all things and do what pleases You always. I love You Lord. Glory to Your name Lord forevermore.


He calls us blessed.


Love
@the watcher

DO YOU STILL SEE?

-
Habakkuk 2:3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, it will not tarry. It may have been easy when we first believed, to visualize the promises. We reach out with zeal, loving God, seeking to do exploits. That was when we first believed, just as Jesus said: John 3:3 Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." When we become born again we see God's kingdom, our spirit man is reborn and we count the flesh as nothing. Then time passes by, we are in the world, all its distractions, temptations, responsibilities, challenges and so on begin to reveal themselves. The question then is: * Can we still see heaven? John 3:3 * Are we still zealous? John 2:17 * Are we continuing in those things? Acts 2:42 * Are we walking in love? 1John 4:7 or Has the cares and worries of life and service ta

DO UNTO OTHERS . . .

-
Matthew 7:12 "Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. It is hypocritical of us to expect people to stand with us when we are experiencing challenges yet when we see others face their own challenges, we begin to imagine what they must have done wrong or maybe they annoyed God or did one evil or the other instead of reaching out to help as we would desire others to do for us. The same thing goes for prosperity, when the Lord opens a door for us and we have abundance of wealth or a breakthrough we expect others to rejoice with us, more so, some would even find it hard to give to others. What is our reaction when someone else gets this breakthrough, do we get suddenly suspicious without reason. Do we expect the person to reach out to us? It is better to stay on the side of encouragement than to sit as a judge or prosecutor. Jesus said, Matthew 7:2 "For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the same

MY YEAR OF FULFILMENT

-
Psalms 57:2 I cry out to God Most High, to God who will fulfill his purpose for me. We just finished the book of 1Samuel, in this book we see the cry of Israel for a king and how God raised Saul to rule them. We also saw how Saul disobeyed God and lost kingship for himself and his generation. He did not stop there, he went on to seek for the death of David, whom he saw as the next heir of the throne. In chapter 31, the last chapter, we see how Saul and all his sons and men were killed, it was tragic, however it was as a sign of relief for David. We could go on counting all the struggles and difficulties we faced in the past year. No, we should not, we should begin to look at all the positives, remembering all the good things God has done for us. If He promised it, He will do it and that is what we hold onto as we go through this year. Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise. This is the year of fulfilment, and
