God's Promise (18.02.2011)

Matthew 5:4

Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.

~I will bless you in times of mourning with My comfort.~

In Matthew 5, Jesus shares a kingdom message that we lovingly call The Beatitudes. In this section of the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus reveals some of the values of His kingdom. Nine times He says that people are blessed in circumstances that would seem opposite to what the world system would see as blessed. The Amplified Bible translates the word blessed that He uses as... (happy, to be envied, and spiritually prosperous--with life-joy and satisfaction in God's favor and salvation, regardless of their outward conditions). AMP

At some point or another, we will all suffer the loss of a loved one and will need the comfort that comes from God alone. In today's promise, we read that when we mourn we will be blessed (from a kingdom perspective) with the comfort that comes only from God Himself. Psalm 34:18 says... The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. NIV

If you are going through a time of grieving right now, my prayer is that this promise would be very tangible to you and that you would feel God's closeness to you today as He carries you through this season of mourning. Through it all, may you truly feel blessed by God despite your circumstances as described by the Amplified Bible... (happy, to be envied, and spiritually prosperous--with life-joy and satisfaction in God's favor and salvation, regardless of their outward conditions).

Psalm 147:3

He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.

~I will heal your broken heart and mend all your wounds.~

When we hurt, God's heart is full of compassion towards us. In 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 He is called the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort. When we are wounded, His desire is to bring healing to us. If you are struggling today with a broken heart, be comforted in knowing that your heavenly Father understands everything that you are going through and wants to heal your broken heart.

In Psalm 103:13-14 in the English Standard Version Bible it says... ¹³As a father shows compassion to his children, so the LORD shows compassionto those who fear him. ¹⁴For he knows our frame; he remembers that we are dust. ESV When Jesus was moved with compassion, He healed the sick. When our Father is moved with compassion, He heals us too.

My prayer today is that you and I would know that we are not alone in our struggles, for our heavenly Father loves us with all His heart and His compassion will bring healing to every wounded area in our soul.

John 10:29

My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all;
and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand.

~I will keep you safe because no one can snatch you out of My hand.~

I love the picture that Jesus paints in this passage of Scripture. In order to better appreciate what Jesus is saying, let's read John 10:27-30... ²⁷My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: ²⁸And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. ²⁹My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.³⁰I and my Father are one. KJV

Jesus tells us in this Bible passage that those who come to Him will never perish because we are being held safely in the palm of His hand where no one can snatch us away. He then goes on to double our feeling of safety and security by telling us that we are also held in His Father's hand who is the greatest of all!

Every time I think about this Scripture passage, I envision myself being firmly held in the hand of Jesus and Jesus' hand being firmly held by the Father's. What a picture of unity in the Godhead and security for us. No matter what comes your way, nothing can snatch you out of the loving, invincible hands of both Father and Son. May the thought of this security bring much peace to every troubled heart.

Psalm 23:1

The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.

~I am your Shepherd and I will meet all your needs.~

Psalm 23 is one of the most loved psalms. It has been recited in times of celebration, in times of loss and and everything in between. The author of this psalm was King David who had a good understanding of what it meant to be a shepherd. As a boy, David learned to care for the flock under his care so when he made the state that The LORD was his shepherd, he knew what he was saying.

When David said I shall not want, he was basically saying that he would not be in need of anything because of the shepherding care of the Lord. The NLT Bible says I shall have all that I need. Shepherds look after their sheep in every way. They lead them to green pastures, they protect them and they provide all that they need to live a good life. In John 10:12-16 Jesus tells us how a shepherd not only protects the sheep under his care but will gladly lay his life down for their safety. Jesus is our shepherd and because of His care we will have all that we need.

Hebrews 13:20-21

²⁰Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, ²¹Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

Hadirat Allah sangat nyata dalam hidup saya...dlm hadirat-Nya, sy tau banyak perkara drpd orang lain..

imagine...

The imagination exercises a powerful influence over every act of sense, thought, reason, over every idea.

Your imagination is your preview of life's coming attractions.

Imagine every day to be the last of a life surrounded with hopes, cares, anger, and fear. The hours that come unexpectedly will be so much more the grateful.

Imagination is the eye of the soul.

You cannot depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus.

deep and meaningful...

Each day is a new canvas to paint upon. Make sure your picture is full of life and happiness, and at the end of the day you don't look at it and wish you had painted something different.

Each morning when I open my eyes I say to myself: I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it.

At the end of your life, you will never regret not having passed one more test, not winning one more verdict, or not closing one more deal. You will regret time not spent with a husband, a friend, a child, or a parent.

God Today Devotions

Create in me a clean heart, O God, And renew a steadfast spirit within me.

Psalm 51:10

Becoming aware of just how great God is life changing. When we truly come to know Him and not just about Him we certainly are able to see more clearly. To see our lack and the need we have for grace and mercy. The more we come to know Him the more we begin to see through His eyes and heart. We see the world in a much different light. We see a world that He loves and died for hurting and dieing, no peace, no joy, and no love. Jesus is a gift we have received and must share. He has the ability to transform the hardest of hearts and fill them with love and compassion. Through Christ we change, through Christ the world is changed, not just for a moment but lasting changes that are birthed from a relationship with His Perfect Love. There is no other power in heaven or Earth that can create such a change to any life. Amazing!

Prayer

I thank you for the precious gift of Your Son, Jesus Christ. Refresh my heart and my mind; continue to work within my life, transforming my every thought and emotion, bringing it into alignment with Your perfect will. Open my eyes that I may see the world through Your heart and give me the courage and strength to share with each aching and dieing soul your perfect love, and grace, in Jesus name, Amen.
