So What?: My Confidence is in God

    Have you ever had a time in your life when you said, “enough is enough?” We can sometimes go through life wasting too much time worrying about the opinions of others and the outcomes of circumstances and situations. Even in our relationship with God, thoughts sometimes plague us as to how our lives in Him will turn out.

We face many obstacles and trials, which sometimes consume us daily. However, you have to get to a point where you can say, “Enough is enough!” and conclude it by saying, So What?

If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king. But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up. Dan 3:17-18 (KJV)

The three Hebrew boys concluded that regardless of what was before them, they would serve and trust God. Many of us are facing difficult obstacles, but you have to silence the voice of doubt and the voice of the adversary by saying, “So, What?”

If the situation does not change, “So, What?” – God is still good. If I have to go through this – “So, What” – He still is on the throne. If it seems like there is no end – “So, What?” – I know He is able and He will deliver. Silence your fears, doubts, and worries with a “So, What?” In the end, God will deliver and prove Himself faithful.

Prayer of the Day:

 “I come before you on today knowing that you will be with me and do what is just in your sight. I thank you for your peace and protection. Amen.”

The Unconditional Love of God

 

Have you ever really asked yourself, “Is the love of God really unconditional?” Most people vehemently affirm that His love is, while countless others still believe that His love is on condition. However, we know from both testaments that God has always revealed Himself as a God who loves unconditionally. The unconditional love of God is revealed in Jesus Christ.

But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8 (KJV)

While the world went astray, God demonstrated His great love through sending Jesus Christ for man’s sin. But we must remember that the unconditional love of God towards us does not free man from God’s conditions as it pertains to salvation. The unconditional love of God makes it possible for man to receive the conditional terms of salvation; which is SIMPLE, believe on Jesus Christ.

Do not confuse the unconditional love of God with the conditional terms of salvation. God loves freely, but commands that all who would experience His love fully, come to Him and through Jesus Christ. The love of God is unconditional, yet His plan of salvation is upon the condition of faith in the work of His Son. Remember, it is the unconditional love of God that makes it possible for ALL to receive redemption in Christ.

Prayer of the Week:

“I thank you for your unconditional love. I praise you today for salvation in Jesus. Amen.”

No Other Name

 

In today’s fast-paced society and declining economy, who you know could be the difference between success and ruin. We know from life that if you are connected with the right people and mention their names, it could open up many doors for you. The same holds true in the Christian faith.

Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. Acts 4:12 (KJV)

As Christians, we have made the right connection when we received Jesus Christ. We have to remember that is through faith in His name that we are saved. It is through trusting in His name that we can make it through this life. His name is a strong tower. The Psalms declare that the righteous run to it and they are saved.

And it is by His name that we will enter into eternal life. There is no other name given whereby an individual can be saved. Be thankful unto God that you know the One whose name opens up the doors to life and life everlasting. 

Prayer of the Week:

 “I know that I can trust in the name of Christ. I thank you that you will never leave me or fail me. Amen.”
