Shabbat Shalom from Kent, London.
The Lord bestows Grace and Favour and Honour
The Bible confirms, in Ps 84:11 that The LORD will withhold no good thing from those who do what is right. In other words, No good thing does YHWH withhold from those who walk uprightly, with integrity and blameless. This is the experience of David and multiple millions of the believers who have been witnessing the Faithfulness of the Lord among us.
As we are concluding 2024 in few days, Let us take a stock of the things that the ADONAI Graciously showered upon us, His miracles, guidance, favour, strength, care, love, protection, provision, promises, prophecies and faithfulness. In Luke 10, Mary seated herself at the LORD's feat, to continually listen to HIS teaching, heard HIS Word to what the Master taught and absorbing every revelation HE shared.
Instead of embracing Martha's footprints, by blaming, comparing, complaining, getting distracted, keeping ourselves very busy with numerous chores, preparing what we planned for and interrupting JESUS, telling HIM what to do/ how to do certain things, Let us TRUST HIM in 2025 as believers by letting HIM to do HIS Things in our lives in HIS timings to bring Glory to HIS Name. Amen. Hallelujah.
HE knows us well and what we are going through in the life journey. All our hairs have been numbered (not just counted), every good things are at HIS reserve, HE knows our needs, Our Heavenly Father knows how to give good things to those who ASKs Him, it absolutely cost nothing to us and it's free to us. HE is simply asking us to TRUST HIM. Our God is able to make all Grace abound to us, so that in all things, at all times, having all that we need, we will abound in every good work (2 Cor 9:8). From HIS fullness we received GRACE upon GRACE from HIM (Jn 1:16) in the past, we will continue to receive them now and in future. It's our birth right in HIM!
Are we distracted by the big/worldly things that we were preparing/aiming for, worried, bothered and anxious about so many things? JESUS advised Martha to choose the good part, necessary part, better part, needful part and challenged her to discover good things. Do not fussing far too much is the warning to many of us as we enter into 2025.
CEV of Ps 55:22 narrates a prayer like this...
LORD, we belong to YOU, we tell YOU what worries us, YOU will not let us fail, fall or slip. Amen. Let us commit our ways to the LORD (Ps 37:5). As David said in Ps 55:23, Let us also declare that as for me, I TRUST in YOU.
For the LORD God is a sun and shield; the LORD bestows favour and honour in 2025 and beyond; no good thing does HE withhold from those whose walk is blameless, In Jesus' Name, Amen.
Happy New Year 2025, in advance.
Peace be upon Israel and Us. ЁЯЩПЁЯЩПЁЯЩП
