Many of us in the evangelical Church today have convinced ourselves that our agenda is also God’s. However, our agenda MUST be informed by The Scriptures, not our feelings. And The Scriptures tell us that God’s glory tops His agenda.
There is nothing to FEAR when our Father, God, corrects us. But trouble comes when we reject His correction.
When someone in need crosses the path of a Believer, there must be fruit available for their hunger… We must be the fig trees that bear in season and out of season.
…they had only ever seen Jesus as a prophet: a great prophet who could help them, but ONLY a prophet. They never recognized Jesus as The Messiah, their Messiah: they had mistaken His identity.
I cannot have answers right now; but I have The God who has all those answers, and it is enough that He carries them within His heart; that great, loving, merciful heart that He shares so freely with His beloved.
When God looks on a Believer, saved by grace, He sees His only begotten Son, Jesus. And because of Jesus, He calls out “Jesurun”: My beloved upright one!
…even when God chastises us, He isn’t finished with us. He will “bring us back”: He will restore us!
“We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed;
We are perplexed, but not in despair;
Persecuted, but not forsaken;
Cast down, but not destroyed”
~ 2 Corinthians 4:8-9
FEAR NOT, The LORD is with us
FEAR NOT, The LORD is our God
FEAR NOT, The LORD will strengthen us
FEAR NOT, The LORD will help us
FEAR NOT, The LORD will uphold us with the right hand of HIS righteousness.
FEAR NOT, The LORD will hold our right hand
FEAR NOT, The LORD will help us
FEAR NOT, The LORD will help us
When we have borne the fruit of repentance, God will rescue us; God will restore us!
