God is greater than man

8 November 2011 .

Generally when we pursue the path of honesty and decency, and adhere to the laws of God, we must learn to be patient and abide to His words. Many occurrences which happen around us seems to go awkwardly against us, and we are forced to be tongue-tied, and walk dumb founded with a heavy heart.

Our hands are, actually tied up with the activities of evil people, which turns our behavior futile.Visibly we are not in a position to reason out things. For God is greater than man  and we can not question God and His wisdom, of course the path He takes us.

 Read the following  verses:

• “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

• “Shall the one who contends with the Almighty correct Him? He who rebukes God, let him answer it.”Job40:2

The only lingering  hope - we are cared by the Lord and  He has given us angels to take charge over us. So we can be confident and sure that I will not stumble anywhere , at any time.

• “my feet from stumbling, that I may walk before God  in the light of life.Psalm56:14
• "The LORD is with me; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?The LORD is with me; he is my helper. I look in triumph on my enemies.It is better to take refuge in the LORD than to trust in humans. Psalm118:6-8
• “Hope in the LORD and keep his way. He will exalt you to inherit the land; when the wicked are destroyed, you will see it.Psalm37:34
• "It is unthinkable that God would do wrong, that the Almighty would pervert justice.  Job 34:12

Praise God-

God bless

Our Lord is my strength and my fortress, my deliverer, I whom I will put my trust.It is God who gives me strength, and makes my way perfect.

In His wisdom we can face any improper and shocking situations. When God be for us ,who can be against us? That confidence we need, because the power belongs to God.

• "To God belong wisdom and power; counsel and understanding are his.” Job 12:13.
• “The Almighty is beyond our reach and exalted in power; in his justice and great righteousness, he does not oppress. Job 37:23
• “He performs wonders that cannot be fathomed, miracles that cannot be counted.” Job 15:9
• “Praise be to the LORD God, the God of Israel, who alone does marvelous deeds.”Psalm72:18
• You are the God who performs miracles; you display your power among the peoples.Psalm77:14

Though around us, the situation appears to be gloomy and depressing , always  learn to be still, to listen to the voice of God. He will direct you , even if you get a negative reply.


Remember the Lord knows the best for you.

Praise God

God Bless

God is wise in heart and mighty in strength

6 November 2011 

With constant challenging in our life’s pursuits, we are often tossed about and subsequently end with confusion or blank mind, not to obtain a  clear thinking pattern or to have a forward-thinking in our life. But our God is infinitely wise, and searches our heart and mind. Visualize. how great is our Lord in His works.

• “O Lord, how manifold are Your works! In wisdom You have made them all. The earth is full of Your possessions” Psalm 104:24
• "Behold, God is mighty, but despises no one; He is mighty in strength of understanding. Job36:5
• “…. what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power. Ephesians 1:19

 “Truly I know it is so, But how can a man be righteous before God?

If one wished to contend with Him, He could not answer Him one time out of a thousand.

  God is wise in heart and mighty in strength. Who has hardened himself against Him and prospered?

  He removes the mountains, and they do not know When He overturns them in His anger;

He shakes the earth out of its place, And its pillars tremble;

He commands the sun, and it does not rise; He seals off the stars;

He alone spreads out the heavens, And treads on the waves of the sea;

 He made the Bear, Orion, and the Pleiades, And the chambers of the south;

 He does great things past finding out, Yes, wonders without number. Job 9:2-10

• “If it is a matter of strength, he is mighty! And if it is a matter of  justice, who will summon him?” Job 9:19

“But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.” 1. Peter 5:10

In the wilderness of this world, with constant challenging of life’s pursuits, we need constant guidance and direction from heaven. When we are left on our own, positively there is a chance to miss our way.

The Lord will guide you continually and will give you satisfaction and fullness. Then You will be like a watered garden, so flourishing and fruitful in grace, poise and elegance, in all comforts, just like a garden with a spring of water. As a spring of water, always full to the brim, tends to flow and over flow continually, sending forth its streams.

•  You can now understand the simple and beautiful concept that’ He that waters shall himself be watered’.
•  “The LORD will guide you always; he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail. Isaiah 58:11
• “The LORD makes firm the steps of the one who delights in him;though he may stumble, he will not fall, for the LORD upholds him with his hand. Psalm 37:23-24

“The law of their God is in their hearts;their feet do not slip .Psalm 37:28

“But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.”  1. Peter 5:10

Throughout our  life’s journey, many things  that can be so overwhelming, we really do not know, how to overcome certain  things,  we face each day -financial difficulties,  hurt and  humiliations, sickness, death, problems of children,  and the thought of the future (anything you can name) can be very gloomy. 

we must remember that God is able to renew and restore us. He strengthens us daily- building our strength each day - which takes us through our trials and the adversities of our life.

•  “My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever”. Psalm 73:26.

God promised to see us through-whatever the situation.  It  is our responsibility to rely on to Him.  We forget that He has already sees and knows the events that will take place in our life.  In our weakness and through the struggles of life, we forget to realize the power of God in our lives.

Pray, “Lord, give me strength for just one more day!” and renew your strength.

• “I can do all this through him who gives me strength. Philippians 4:13
• "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." 2 Corinthians 12:9
• "I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being. Ephesians 3:16
•  “So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself.  Each day has enough trouble of its own.” Matthew 6:34
• “He gives strength to the weary, and to him who lacks might He increases power.  Though youths grow weary and tired, ….. those who wait for the Lord will gain new strength; they will mount up with wings like eagles, they will run and not get tired, they will walk and not become weary.” Isaiah 40:29-31

 Still God is in control. Relax. Move forward with God -given strength.

GOD BLESS

Lord is faithful, who will establish you

3 November 2011 

“But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.” 1. Peter 5:10

Establish means: To make stable or firm; 

 We are tossed in the current of the modern world and quite unable to find a way out to have a stabilize path to move forward. At every side we have arrows flying, some are  sharp  and others are unaware of its existence is attacking us. Untill  and unless we have the fire wall of protection from God we may go astray. 

Do you have this assurance of having such a heavenly protection?

• “Wait on the LORD; Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart…” Psalm27:14
•  But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil one. 2 Thessalonians 3:3

You have to rely totally on God for everything, setting aside all your apprehension and anxiety.

• “Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.(1 Peter 5:7).
• “Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him and he will do this Psalm 37:5)
• “Cast your cares on the LORD and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous fall. (Psalm 55:22)
• “…in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. (Proverbs 3:6)
• In righteousness you will be established…..”Isaiah 54:14
• 'Uphold my steps in Your paths, That my footsteps may not slip' Psalm17:5

Do not  have a fainted soul within you,remember the LORD is with you;  call on Him,Your prayers will be answered .

God bless

“But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.”  1. Peter 5:10

Perfection is beyond imagination. Nobody is perfect in this world. But God Almighty who is absolutely perfect. Divine perfection can be seen how God reveals in His character and activity through His pure love for humanity.

“Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.” Mathew 5:48

“He is the Rock, his works are perfect, and all his ways are just. A faithful God who does no wrong, upright and just is he. Deuteronomy 32:4

Jesus Christ is perfect in all His dealings with human beings in the form -perfect as a person, perfect in behavior and perfect in doing good things to others.

•          perfect as a person: Imperfection rules  the world. We are not perfect in our activities as God:

“….who has been made perfect forever. Hebrews 7:28

•          perfect in behavior. The behavior pattern varies widely and generally we are not bighearted or magnanimous or high-minded, in our inter personal relationships. The only person who has given himself for us is Jesus, to forgive our sins , and has given the gift of salvation and eternal life.

“For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. 2 Corinthians 5:21

•          perfect in doing good things

" should make the pioneer of their salvation perfect through what he suffered" Hebrews. 2:10

 " once made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation "Hebrews. 5:9

 Actually God wants his children to be perfect. Humble before God and pray for forgiveness. Pray as follows:

• “Wash away all my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin. For I know my transgressions, and my sin is always before me.”Psalm51:2-3
• “Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow. Psalm51:7
•  “….But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God. 1Corinthians 6:11
• “….rejoice! Strive for full restoration, encourage one another, be of one mind, live in peace. And the God of love and peace will be with you. 2 Corinthians 13:11

It is God that girds me with strength,

 and makes my way perfect. Psalms 18:32

GOD BLESS  

Praise the Lord

“But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.” 1. Peter 5:10

 In Christian life, suffering fetches a message, which will strengthen us and motivate us, to be dedicated totally in our life for Jesus. He is a caring Father who takes utmost care to protect us.

“Although the Lord gives you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, your teachers will be hidden no more; with your own eyes you will see them. Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way; walk in it.”Isaiah 30:20

“As they pass through the Valley of Baca, They make it a spring; The rain also covers it with pools. Psalm 84:6

The hidden burdens which cannot be let out to anyone, the tears, heavy sighs of the burdened heart etc, will definitely teach the values and quality of life.

“…. we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.Romans.5:3-4

“It is good for me that I have been afflicted, that  I may learn Your statutes. Psalm 119:71

“But if you suffer for doing good and you endure it, this is commendable before God.1.Peter2:20

 “For it is better, if it is God’s will, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil.1Peter3:17

Remember suffering produces good things in life, ‘cause God’s love is poured into your heart.
 At the end we can taste the blessings from God.

Take care, because in practical life it takes a rough path to tread upon.

God be with you

GOD BLESS
