Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!
Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near.
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by
prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your
requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends
all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in
Christ Jesus.
(Philippians 4.4-7).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
Seek, inquire for and require the Lord
while He may be found. Call upon Him
while He is near.
Let the wicked forsake their way and the
unrighteous their thoughts; and let
them return to the Lord, that He may
have mercy on them, and to our God,
for He will abundantly pardon.
(Isaiah 55. 6 & 7).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS
FOREVERMORE!
And He designed to reconcile to God
both Jew and Gentile united in a single
body by means of His cross, thereby
killing the enmity and bringing the feud
to an end.
And He came and preached the glad tidings
to you who were afar off and peace to those
who were near.
For it is through Him that we both (whether far
off or near) now have an introduction (access)
by one (Holy) Spirit to the Father ( so that we
are able to approach Him).
Therefore you are no longer outsiders (exiles,
migrants, and aliens, excluded from the rights
of citizens), but you now share citizenship with
the saints (God’s own people, consecrated and
set apart for Himself), and you belong to God’s
household.
(Ephesians 2.16-19).
POINTS FOR MEDITATION AND PRAISE
1) We are no longer strangers to God.
God is our Father. We are His children.
We know Him intimately through Jesus
Christ and by the Holy Spirit.
2) The Holy Spirit communicates His
deep love to us and our deepest concerns
back to Him.
3) We are God’s household thanks to Jesus
Christ.
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS!
