God is good
We sang a song in church last Sunday that has been in my head all week. The chorus repeats several times - Great Eternal God….. These three words seem to repeat over and over again in my mind. God is sooooo Great! He is greater than my problems, greater than the problems of this world and He sees the whole picture!
He tells me to lay my cares at His feet and to rest in the shadow of His wings. Wow! He is eternal, never changing, always faithful and always there. He can never fail. His love can never cease and He promises to always be with me. This is the God who is the one and only God, the one who made us, chose us and died for us, so that we could know Him. I am so relieved that God is greater than my little hopes and fears, successes and failures. I know that I can bring anything to His thrown and leave it there without hesitation. Isn’t it awesome to know that our Great Eternal God chooses to meet us right where we are each day. For me that is soooooo amazing!!!!!
I know all this about God, but sometimes with the rush of each day I begin to forget. I let one little thing after another begin to get me down and I lose my focus. I guess my biggest struggle is, as Paul put it, keeping my eyes focused on the goal, keeping my mind set on the race and fighting the good fight. As Christians I think sometimes we get complacent with who we are, where we are and what we are doing. When we have been entrusted with the knowledge of the truth and have the answers to all lifes difficult questions. We know why we are here and our lives have purpose. There are so many people out there that God loves just as much as me and you. They simply do not know about His love, they have no answers to their questions and many have no hope. My deepest desire is to let people in on this wonderful secret, but I find myself getting caught up in the business of life and the secret remains a secret. I guess this is a challenge for myself and all of you out there who find yourself in the same situation… Let’s pray, seek His guidance and keep our eyes open for opportunities to tell people and let the secret out!
