Be still, and know that I AM GOD

4/15/2013

 
Beware lest Hezekiah persuade you, saying, The LORD will deliver us. Hath any of the gods of the nations delivered his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria? Where are the gods of Hamath and Arphad? where are the gods of Sepharvaim? and have they delivered Samaria out of my hand? Who are they among all the gods of these lands, that have delivered their land out of my hand, that the LORD should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand? But they held their peace, and answered him not a word: for the king's commandment was, saying, Answer him not. (Isaiah 36:18-21)

The world sees our practice of religion and thinks it is just like all the rest, just another 'god' like some of theirs.  The difference they don't get is for the true Church, it is not a religion we accomplish nor a series of practices we perform to appease our GOD.  We know, because we know Him that GOD is personal, He is real, and He initiated a relationship with us through His Son, Jesus Christ.  The Creator of the Universe wanted us to return to Him because He loved us despite our rebellion.  These Assyrian soldiers that came to besiege Jerusalem thought that the GOD of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob was just another 'god of the hills' that they had already defeated.  They found out, as all will that Jehovah is the GOD of all Creation, and He sets up the nations, and causes them to fall.  The Assyrians did not take Jerusalem because GOD is above all and He had not yet pronounced Jerusalems destruction.  That would come later under the Babylonians.

We serve the risen Lord Jesus Christ, who is GOD and the Son of GOD.  Who Himself bore our sIn and took the punishment in our place.  Those of us who know Him praise Him for His love, mercy and grace.  He cares for us, and will guide and protect according to His will.  We don't always know His ways, for they are above our ways but we can know Him.  We know and follow Jesus Christ, not just an agreement that He exists, but a relationship with a Holy and Righteous GOD through the blood of Jesus Christ shed on the Cross of Calvary.

If you don't know Him, if you have never surrendered to GOD on His terms and been born again Jesus says that you are still in your sins and are guilty before the Judge of all the earth.  But, GOD is not willing that you should perish and wants a loving relationship that will give you a new life in Him and a journey of discipleship that will conform you to Him through His Word.  Receive Him today by faith and be saved unto eternal life, not just a future in Heaven, but a journey with the Master that begins now and will not end.

If you are one of His, He calls you to sit at His feet and learn of Him through His Word.  Be obedient to His Word as His disciple.

In Christ,
Jefferson Sweet
