The Devotional - A Look at the Book #824

A Word from Papa “J”

 

The danger of drifting away from God is an ever present danger in the heart of those who love God, especially to those who like to flirt with the world. By the way…! The world will flirt with you and win; winning over your thoughts, obedience and rebellion. Proverbs 14:11-12

 

Good Morning

 

Well it is obvious to me that I am sitting in a dry desert these days when it comes to writing a few short notes so I have been thinking of what I might do to overcome this thirsting and do better. Truly prayer helps and I could use some help in this area in that you would pray for the LORD to provide His Will to be revealed as I continue writing. I certainly do not want to write anything that oversteps is Will.

 

Hymns have a way with us do they not? Yesterday during our service we sung this hymn; “The Love of God” and was reminded of the effort of many a people who seek daily to express this Love that God has. We believe that we have the perfect message and the strongest motivation to speak. We have the assistance to God the Holy Spirit and even a love for the people who will hear our vociferations and yet at the end of our message is the thought that there is still more work to be done.

 

Every stalk is not a pen, nor is the ocean filled with ink as the song relates, yet every stalk and every molecule of water contains God’s handiwork describing His love for all that He has created. Everything created belongs to God, for example in this song by Frederick M. Lehman he mentions what does reveal the Love of God but that are often overlooked by the world. A world that daily needs the reminder that God is LOVE. 1 John 4:7-11

 

What are these? The tongue, the star, the hell and the guilty pair; God’s SON, the erring child who is reconciled and the story of the Love of God that sin is pardoned. Also years have gone by and time like an old worn out rug is passing away. Thrones and kingdoms have come and gone, and yet men refused to pray. Still the Love of God rings loud and clear, it is measureless, it is as strong today as the day that God revealed it to His Creation of which you and I are a part of.

 

So we have this mandate, this command or commission to fill the world with the Love of God, all of God’s creation does this willingly except for man who has trouble trusting in Your Mercy. But when your love is revealed and trust is invoked, the heart will rejoice and the song, oh the song of the Love of God will flow from the lips, from the pen and from every stalk or ocean deep. Psalm 13:1-6
