When is it too late?

Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near ... (Isaiah 55:6).

Is it ever too late to call upon the Lord? Will it be too late for me and you to find Him?

According to this Scripture, it will. We cannot seek the Lord when He's not to be found. We cannot find Him when He's not near. Do we know when that will happen? No, we don't. And that's the reason it's so important to choose Him TODAY!

"This day I call heaven and earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live" (Deut. 30:19).

"This day" means TODAY. Don't postpone choosing God!

"But I'm already a Christian," you might say, "I have chosen Him. What more can I do?"

You can choose Him (=His Word) EVERY DAY. Is there a difficulty, a problem, or a sickness in your life? Don't settle for anything less than God's Word for your situation. Choose Him over your circumstances. Choose His Word over your problems. Look to Him for help. If your situation looks impossible to get out of, look to Him, look to His Word. Was Jesus ever in "impossible" situations? Were His disciples ever in "hopeless" circumstances? Absolutely. But what did they do? Did they settle for the "impossible" and the "hopeless"? No, they looked to God for help, and He came through for them; not through human help and intervention only (although God some times uses people to help us out), but through supernatural means.

Are you facing an "impossible" situation today? Don't settle for mediocre or failure, press on according to God's Word, and choose TODAY that you will follow the Lord.

God bless you!

Confidence in God

Have you ever felt unsure of wether God was for real? Or if He would be there for you when and if you really needed Him? I guess we all have felt more or less uncertain about God at some time in our lives; after all, we don't see Him and we don't hear Him, at least not with our natural eyes or ears. However, when you have walked with God for some time, you just KNOW that you can trust Him, no matter what. David was a man who really needed God's help in his life. His life was litterally in danger of being taken by Saul, and he had to flee from his enemies and hide in caves and pretend he was mad to save his life. But in spite of the dangers and difficulties he encountered, he never lost his confidence in God. See what he says in Psalm 27 verse 1: "The LORDS is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?" David didn't look at the outward dangers, but at the inward strength and confidence that came from God. This is what David said: 1. The Lord is my light (v.1) 2. My salvation (v.1) 3. My trust (v.1) 4. My strength (v.1) 5. My life (v.1) 6. My confidence (v.1) 7. My protector from the wicked (v.2) 8. My protector from enemies (v.2) 9. My refuge from the multitudes (v.3) 10.My help in war (v.3) Was this for David only? No, God is no respecter of persons; what He says to one and does for one, He says to all and does for all. So you and I can confidently say with David: The LORD is MY light and MY salvation; whom shall I fear? The LORD is the strength of MY life; of whom shall I be afraid? God bless you today to rest in God's protection and love for you.
