Today’s Thought “A House in Order” G. Ward

 

“Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” Isaiah 41:10

 

Catastrophes/calamities of sorts, can often be the attention getter for humanity’s conformity unto Holy God’s intent (Prov.1:24-29). His Word has always been the guidepost necessary in achieving peace for all of mankind (*not necessarily a peace that sheds safety, or governmental continuity, but HIS presence to persevere). How then has such avoidance (from man) in what should be our first regard for all HE says - that guards desired endurance, be forsaken (cf.Gal.5:17)? Very often, it’s largely due to the pervasiveness from our world’s demand for answers to life, at a moment’s notice and whereas our Creator’s objectivity for those HE created, involves a total reliance on HIS lead in every way, our sufferings persist by a reliance comparable to the pseudo tire in one’s trunk – that enables you to drive until a suitable exchange can happen. Moreover, the portrayal of wrongful perpetuation that more adopts an unsanctioned, spiritual concept of self-preservation (Phil.2:3-4, 2 Ti.3:1-2), obscures a total dependence on the Only proven source (Ac.4:12). You and I are without an ability towards living correctly apart from Holy God’s transforming power (Ro.3:10). Stop trying and give up, by honoring HIS faithfulness – so worthy to model.
