God's Glory

As human beings, we will never be able to fathom God’s thoughts and ways. We must remember that we are dust.

What we perceive as disasters and tragedies amid us may not be the wholesome truth. We don’t understand God’s plan for us. If God, who alone loves us, came to die for us to save us from death, will He plan to destroy us? I’ll always believe that God has never intended for us to die- He has always hope for us to live.

A long time ago, God exhibit his wrath over Sodom and Gomorrah, bringing complete destruction to these two cities because God couldn’t accept their exceedingly overwhelming sins. Finally when God really couldn’t endure our sins, heart-broken, He decided to destroy us by sending a flood.

God made a promise that He will never bring a calamity of that magnitude to mankind again; with the rainbow as a witness to his oath. But mankind continues their rebellion against the Almighty Creator. Apparently we were never sorry for our wrongdoings.

God, our Almighty Creator sends Himself in Christ Jesus to come and save us. Unrepentant, we continue to sin and reject God’s salvation.

Nevertheless, God still love us. God in his amazing grace is sustaining his patience by waiting for us to be repentant! (2 Peter 3:10)

God love and have mercy on us not because we deserve anything, but because He is the Father. A Father will never abandon his children that are birthed out of his own hands.

While I do not understand God’s ways, I guessed that God loves us so much that sometimes he need to sacrifice some lives to save more lives. We must constantly maintain in our hearts the wonderful mercy, grace of God in his unfailing love. Remember that it was his infinite love for us that he came to die for us.

When bad things happened to us, God who alone loves us takes the blame forgetting that it was our sins that brought us those consequences.

When bad things happen to us or when such calamities take place in our midst, maybe it’s time to do a rain check of our sins against the Creator. Maybe it’s time to repent? Or maybe it’s time to understand God’s love for us? Then again, maybe it’s time to pray? Or is it time for us to be more passionate with our relationship with Him? There could be so many other reasons except to blame him.

Take heed of God’s message through every episode that transit in our everyday lives, so that we can seek his mercy, grace and unfailing love to help us turn to him so he can heal us and restore his goodness unto us.

Whatever it is, I offer my thanksgivings to my Saviour God Jesus for his mercy, grace and unfailing love for coming to die to redeem me from destruction. While I do not understand God’s plan and will for each of us, I do know that his plans will always bring glory to Him. For those who develop a doubt for God’s love while experiencing adversity, be encourage by holding on to God’s promises in Romans 8:37-39 And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow- not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below- indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Thank you Lord Jesus for forgiving my sins and helping me each day to live obediently to the power of the Holy Spirit, gifted to guide, counsel, teaches and protects me.

I confess with my mouth and believe in my heart that Jesus is the son of the living God, who came to die at the cross and forgive my sins, resurrected by the Holy Spirit on the third day to bring to me a hope because the Holy Spirit helps me placed my trust in the son of God to someday return to bring me home safely to my heavenly Father.

Today, I asked the Holy Spirit gifted to help me live my earthly life for His honor and glory, to help me kneel before my Almighty Saviour God, Father of my Saviour Jesus to fast for the nations of China and Myanmar; asking God, to remember his mercy, grace and unfailing for us.

Lord Saviour Jesus, all glory, power and honor belongs to you now and forever! Amen!
