Therefore the LORD waits to be gracious to you, and therefore he exalts himself to show mercy to you. For the LORD is a God of justice; blessed are all those who wait for him. (Isaiah 30:18)
We press the switch and we have electricity flowing into various appliances installed in home. We insert the key into our vehicle and vehicle gets started. We swipe the smart card and the money is transferred from one account to another. Mankind has conditioned itself into fast and effective services from various activities surrounding it. They have forgotten to differentiate between what we can change and what we cannot change. We may often argue that god is not doing justice with me, but me dear brother and sister; just reminding of two great persons mentioned in the Old Testament i.e. MOSES and SAMSON, both were specially blessed by LORD GOD. They were leaders of Israel and full of LORD GOD’s grace, but then too when Moses disobeyed LORD GOD by stabbing at the ROCK (JESUS CHRIST) in the exodus to Promised Land and dies in exodus, JOSHUA was anointed by LORD GOD to take people further on exodus to the promise land. Samson who was blessed with wisdom and knowledge to rule over Israel, but when along with his wives started to worship Idols, lost his vision, which lead to chaos in his life and his coming generations, but also on kingdom of Israel. Similarly in New Testament PAUL and PETER both denied JESUS CHRIST, but because of GOD”S plan by which CHRIST mercy was manifested in flesh, they were renewed in CHRIST and changed the mankind.
Are we renewed in CHRIST? The answer to this found only in BIBLE in and he said to them, "Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will cast out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up serpents with their hands; and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them; they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will recover." (Mark 16:15-18)
Dear JESUS CHRIST, we come in unity with the message reader and pray to renew himself or herself in Christ.
AMEN! GOD blesses you in Christ.
