Mar 17th and a great day to you all. Let us start each day with a prayer of thanksgiving recalling who we were, are and will be in Christ. Thanks be to God because we are accepted as sons of God and friends of Jesus.
Psalms 60:1-12 declares much of GOD. Perhaps verse 3 explains the reading of today in that how GOD dealt with the children of Israel was hard(but He is not hard), many learned men in Jerusalem were astonished with Jesus and we do not understand all the truth of the Psalms and Proverbs. But thanks be to God for causing the Word to be preserved for us today, The Holy Spirit to indwell us as believers and the knowledge that the help of man is vain. Look at the promise of verse 12.
Numbers26;1-51 demonstrates some of the greatness of God. The children had started with 603,550 men of war, many had died from plagues and wars and now they had 601,730 getting ready to enter the promise land. How big is GOD?
Luke 2:36-52 spans many years in the life of Jesus and verse 40 explains that He grew and was divinely enabled by His Father. Jesus was not ever not God! Yet,He was as much man as you and me! He was, is and will forever be God-Man! He came to us, as us, for us. We know where He is right now and what He is doing for all believers. May we take up His work as He said in verse 49 and be about our Father's business. Ask The Lord to increase your wisdom, stature and favour with God. Learn to pray. Pray to learn. Live as you have been taught. Be right then do right. pj
