Consolation of Jesus Final
Today’s Reading: Psalm 27:1 Version ESV
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm+27%3A1&version=ESV

In general, people are very afraid of dying and try to forget the existence of death.

The sudden loss of a loved one or relative brings to our heart pain, loneliness, suffering and emptiness. In the meantime God, in His providence, has already taken account of these issues, ensuring peace, tranquility and comfort in Jesus. The consolation of Jesus takes place when we rest in His promises. When we understand this reality: “The Lord is my light and my salvation; of whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid”.

When our hearts are firmly planted in Jesus, nothing can abate us. Each time, God keeps us in the midst of difficult and tragic events of our lives, He calms our hearts and gives us courage to endure the trials and overcome.

What tragedy are you facing in your life? What enormous evil can assault you? Nothing and no one in this world can separate you from the love of Jesus Christ! Not even death itself!

Authority Jesus Final

Today’s Reading: 1 Corinthians 2:9-11, Matthew 11:27 Version NIV
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+Corinthians+2%3A9-11%2C+Matthew+11%3A27&version=NIV

Speaking about the mysteries of God’s revelation to us, theologian, author and American pastor Robert Charles Sproul says: “There are many truths that God reveals to us about Himself that are beyond our capacity to understand. Given the difference between the exalted character of God and our status as created beings, this difficulty should not surprise us. We may come to greater understanding of many of these mysterious truths at some future point in redemptive history. However, even then we may never fully understand some truths.” [Sproul, R. C. (2011). What Is the Trinity? (Vol. 10, pp. 55–56). Orlando, FL: Reformation Trust.]

We do not have an intellectual, moral, or supernatural ability to know God. However, God is revealed to us. He, on his own free will lets us know a little of what He is, who He is and what He wants from us. Still, we do not know God well. Insecurity takes the place of tranquility, distrust the place of faith and despair the place of serenity.

When we learn about God’s authority, we conclude that He directs all things. Nothing escapes his knowledge, and could not be otherwise: the fate of your life is in God’s hands, nothing will happen by chance!

Let uncertainties in the hands of God. He and only He can guarantee peace, tranquility and security. To approach God, we need to take a small step: a step of faith.

Believe and rest! God exists and cares for your life! He will be with you all the way!

The true disciple of Christ lives to serve.
