God is greater than man

The only lingering  hope ….

 we have…

God is greater than man .

As Scripture says,

 “Anyone who believes in him

    will never be put to shame.”

                                 Romans10:11

Look, …... I will answer you,

 For God is greater than man.

 Why do you contend with Him?

 For He does not give an accounting of  any of His words.

 For God may speak in one way,or in another,

 Yet man does not perceive it’ .

Job 33:12-14

God bless

 

 

Authority of God

 People crave for power and authority, which  are presumed to be the natural longing of a person- as long as it is contained to a limit. 

Since we are enticed by the evil power (satan) this longing for power ,may be devastating leading to lots of consequences.

 Any authority or power or position  - any such things  (you name it) are topically controlling our mind . 

 BUT  authority has been given graciously by God to those who obey and love God.(refers to Gods children).

 “Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established….. The authorities that exist have been established by God. …..…Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also as a matter of conscience. Romans 13:1-5

 “I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you.” Luke 10:19

Do not misuse the authority. 

You are accountable to God ,

Don’t even think about the misappropriation of authority at any cost. 

These small authority is meaningless when we see the omnipotent power of the Lord Almighty  who has the  control over the  universe.

These verses are given to enlighten us that we are feeble beings, subjected to the Grace And control of the Almighty.

•         God has control over the environment

“The men were amazed and asked, “What kind of man is this? Even the winds and the waves obey him !” Mathew 8:27

•          God has control over the devil

“The demons begged Jesus, “If you drive us out, send us into the herd of pigs.” Mathew 8:31

•          God has power to forgive our sin

“But I want you to know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins.” . Mathew 9:6

•         God has control over the disease

“….he said to the paralysed man, “Get up, take your mat and go home.” Then the man got up and went home. Mathew 9:6

All are beyond human thinking and abilities.
 Do not boost about the power you are given to serve the society or else do not misuse the same for personal benefits.

Let your mind be clear. Do not  even long to have power.

See what God has given you as a privilege.

 Praise God , because  we are his Children and given power to call Him as ‘Abba Father’.

So we have been given  the status of Prince and Princess of the king .

What Else you need in this world.

God bless.

Right word at the right time

 Right word at the right time

"The Sovereign LORD has given me a well-instructed tongue,
   to know the word that sustains the weary.
He wakens me morning by morning,
   wakens my ear to listen like one being instructed .Isaiah 50:4

 “ I have put my words in your mouth and 

covered you with the shadow of my hand—

I who set the heavens in place, who laid the foundations of the earth, and

 who say to Zion, ‘You are my people.’ Isaiah 51:16

"For the word of the LORD is right and true;
   he is faithful in all he does" .Psalm33:4

 God bless

Cheers for a broken heart.

At times, it is very common for the mankind to be disheartened and downcast and unaware of checking out for deliverance.

 No one is totally free from such unhappy situations in life. 

Occurrences of such thing may be rare or often, and 

how we take it?

 how we face it? or

 how we react spontaneously? etc--- 

 it  all depends upon our mental and emotional balance. 

Obviously the way in which we tend to strike life (either in a positive 'note' or the negative 'tone') speaks volumes, in order to bring forth the outcome.'

 I like to share verses from the bible which actually upheld me in my difficult times.

“When doubts filled my mind, your comfort gave me renewed hope and cheer.” Psalm 94:19

“Behold, the eye of the LORD is on those who fear him, on those who hope in his steadfast love.” Psalm 33:18

 

“The LORD is close to the brokenhearted; he rescues those whose spirits are crushed.” Psalm 34:18  

“But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.” Isaiah 40:31

“When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you.” Isaiah 43:2

 

“For I know the plans I have for you," says the Lord. "They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope." Jeremiah 29:11

“And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.” Romans 8:28

“Therefore we do not lose heart.

 Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day.

 For our light and momentary  troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.

 So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. 

For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.” 2 Corinthians 4:16-18

When the load seems to be unbearable (I actually) stumbled. 

God strengthened me with His words.

 When nothing turns out to give solace --Jesus spoke through His promises.

Taste and see that the Lord is Good

 God is good all the time

 And all the time God is good

 Praise the Lord.

God Bless
