The Living God

"[insert your name here], servant of the living God, has your God, whom you serve continually, been able to rescue you?" Daniel 6:20

The moment i inserted my name there, this verse struck me so hard, kinda like the one time a kickball struck me right in the face - it hurt but it made so aware the next time i played. 

God is the same yesterday, today, and forever, so why is it that one day we trust Him and the next we don't? God will never fail us friends. We serve a God - better yet, thee only God - that is living and active. The same God that set the Egyptians free, protected Daniel in the lions den, and split the Red Sea is the same God that rescues you and i. George Mueller once said "Even in my greatest difficulties, heaviest trials, and deepest poverty and need, He has never failed me. Because i was enabled by God's grace to trust Him." Not only does He rescue us but because He is so gracious, HE gives us the trust to trust HIM! BOOM, mind blown, at least i am. How can we doubt Him in our circumstances when ultimately IF we ask Him, He will provide the way out because only He can give trust, hope, etc... [*sits and try to understand Gods grace but can't because its so good*]. 

"One day I came to know Dr. John Douglas Adam," writes C. G. Trumbull. "I learned he considered his greatest spiritual asset to be his unwavering awareness of the actual presence of Jesus. Nothing sustained him as much, he said, as the realization that Jesus was always with him in actual presence; and that this was so independent of his own feelings, his worthiness, and his perceptions as to how Jesus would demonstrate His presence.

"Moreover, he said that Christ was the center of his thoughts. Whenever his mind was free from other matters it would turn to Christ. Whenever he was alone, and no matter where he was, he would talk aloud to Christ as easily and naturally as to a human friend. That is how very real Jesus' actual presence was to Him."

What is your spiritual asset?

Morning service was so great, God is moving in a fresh new way at CCSB. Prayer meeting for PI, not exactly sure why the Lord has put this place on my heart, but i will continue to pray and be obedient to Him. Happy Birthday Tio! Sweet time of worship and prayer tonight.

God continue to lead me on the narrow path of righteousness, 'fix my eyes on the things above and not on earthly things.'
