A Gift From God 4

Posted on by

I don’t know about you; but, for me it seems like Christmas was a long time ago.  It has only been a little over a month ago.  Time goes by so quickly it seems.  When I think of gifts I think of Christmas a lot.  I remember my dad playing with my toys before I could and the smells of the food cooking at Grandma and Grandpa’s house.  Precious memories!

As I was thinking about the truth of “A Gift From God” I remembered the following verses Isaiah 9:6-7, “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.  Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.”

What better gift could we be given?  None!  Not only was this “son” born and given; but, He would do all these things promised too.  He keeps on giving and giving to us.  He saves us if we will trust in Him and He keeps us saved.  Then He is our “Wonderful Counsellor”, “The mighty God”, “The everlasting Father”, “The Prince of Peace”.  He will rule from His throne over His kingdom.

These are sure promises from God.  Notice what He tells us, “the LORD of hosts will perform this.”  You can count on this because it is a for sure thing because He has promised it.

There is not much in this world you can count on anymore; but, one thing is absolutely sure.  You can count on the promises of God because they are true.

So, how are you doing?

Thanksgiving 22

When you were growing up did anyone ever stand behind you and ask you to fall backwards into their awaiting arms?  I don’t remember anyone ever asking me to do that.  I have done that for others, as I remember.  I would not do that today for nothing.  I don’t have the physical strength to catch someone and it would take Sampson of old to catch me like that.

I was thinking about the fourteen year old boy who asked Jesus to save him recently.  I thought about how this boy had been in Church before and heard sermon after sermon.  Why this particular Sunday?  I came to me that he had come to the place where he saw that Jesus could be trusted.  We say that he “trusted Christ as his Saviour”.  Well, there you go.

We live in a day that it is hard to find people who you can trust.  Listen to what the Scripture says in II Samuel 22:31, “As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all them that trust in him.”  Then again it is repeated nearly word for word in Psalm 18:30, “As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him.”  The important question is have you trusted Jesus Christ to be your Saviour?  Make that decision today before it is too late.

So, how are you doing?
