"For I the Lord thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee." Isaiah 41:13
God is our loving Father and He wants us to be healthy, happy and fruitful both physically and spiritually. He is there to strengthen us and to provide for us, to teach us and to guide us. to love us and give us compassionate understanding, to train us and to discipline us through chastening when needed. We are His offspring and are created in His image. God has hopes and dreams for every one of us and we can never be at peace and happy and fulfilled until we get in line with His will for our lives.
"And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose." Romans 8:28
God's purpose for us is good, and His will for us will lead us into the fulfillment of His good purpose. We do ourselves and injustice when we resist God's authority and leadership or when we fight against God's plan for us as it is outline in His Holy Word, the Bible. What a gracious and wonderful Father to provide us with such extensive encouragement, teaching and love as is found in His Holy Word. If we are called according to His purpose, then let us receive His instsructions and power to perform, through daily Bible reading, prayer and praise. He created us for a loving relationship with Him and we all have an important job to do and a unique purose to achieve in His plan of infinite mercy and grace.
May you be blessed with His presence during this week and may all your prayers be answered by our Loving Father, through Jesus Christ His only Son our Lord.
