HIS WAYS

Posted on

“For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways,” declares the Lord.          Isaiah 55:8 NIV

 

Looking at difficulties from a human perspective can make us panic. It may be ill health, a financial crisis, or a broken relationship that causes our hearts to tremble. But God calls us to view life with eyes of faith. To live in this way means believing that through Jesus Christ, God will meet all of our needs, including love, security, and acceptance (Philippians 4:19). Divine love for us was demonstrated at the cross; there, Jesus died for our sins so we might be forgiven and reconciled to the Father. His affection for us is so deep that we can never reach the end of it (Jeremiah 31:3; Ephesians 3:18). Then, because of our position in God’s family, we are eternally secure. We are adopted as children of the heavenly Father, with full rights and privileges of heirs (Romans 8:17). Our adoption is permanent, since it is based on Jesus’ atoning sacrifice (Hebrews 7:27). What’s more, the presence of the indwelling Holy Spirit is evidence that the Father has accepted us. His Spirit acts as a seal and guarantee of our position in Christ (Ephesians 1:13). Even though earthly relationships may crumble, our union with the Lord is forever. He keeps every one of His promises, and He will never let us down. When we are convinced that God will provide for us, our approach to life changes. Then, we live not by sight, which tells us to worry, but rather by faith in the One who saved us. Are we walking His ways today?

 

PRAYER THOUGHT

Lord, as we walk in Your ways, we are blessed with peace and strength.

 

PRAYER FOR TODAY

Lord, thank You for keeping every one of Your promises, and never letting us down. As we live convinced that You will provide for us, our approach to life changes. AMEN
