Know Himself and Thyself

100_1786

Yesterday in her morning musings my sister, Brenda Lillie wrote… “Paul prayed that the Ephesians eyes would be open so they could KNOW GOD. So often we find our self lost in a sea of doubt, pain, or fear. We wonder where is God ,when will He make His entrance? In these moments it’s not that God is not there..but perhaps we don’t Know our good and faithful God well enough. Our faith is shaken not from circumstances…but lack of knowing who our God truly is and what He is capable of doing in spite of the circumstances.”

Then last night in her sermon at New Hope Assembly of God in Saugus MA my daughter, Melanie Franklin said, “We can only love one another once we love ourselves…we can only love ourselves when we know who we are…to know who we are we must look in the Word of God.”

It strikes me that most of life’s problems cease to be problems once we know who God is and who we are. In knowing those two things we gain confidence and ultimately love of God, self and others which is a power that does not fail in the midst of any circumstance (I Cor. 13:8).

In your prayer time today let me encourage you to ask God to help you and the people you are praying for to know Him better and yourself/ themselves better so that the issue being dealt with will get lost in the vast scope of God’s love.

Evening Meditation 5-24-16

We are starting the evening with a new Psalm.

Lord, how many are my foes!
    How many rise up against me!
Many are saying of me,
    “God will not deliver him.” 

Psalm 3:1,2

Are there people in your life who are making you doubt God? What does God want you to do about them?

Mid Afternoon Meditation 5-24-16

I will proclaim the Lord’s decree:

He said to me, “You are my son;
    today I have become your father.
Ask me,
    and I will make the nations your inheritance,
    the ends of the earth your possession.
You will break them with a rod of iron[b];
    you will dash them to pieces like pottery.”

10 Therefore, you kings, be wise;
    be warned, you rulers of the earth.
11 Serve the Lord with fear
    and celebrate his rule with trembling.
12 Kiss his son, or he will be angry
    and your way will lead to your destruction,
for his wrath can flare up in a moment.
    Blessed are all who take refuge in him. Psalm 2:7-12

How do you go about taking refuge in the Son of God?
