Salvation Belongs To The Lord
"Salvation belongs to the Lord. Your blessing is upon Your people." (Psalm 3:8)
I am inspired by the work of God's creative hands. How magnificent is His creation. Even with the mighty hurricanes that have leashed such dynamic blows, I respect an awesome power that reflects God omnipotence.
But an even greater wonder to me, is the salvation that God brought to man-kind. God's creative hand is wonderful, but His gracious heart is even more amazing. How He could love us who stand in rebellion and disobedience to His will for our lives, is beyond comprehension.
Yes as the old hymn says: It was "Amazing Grace"" that saved a wretch like me!" As John 3:16 says: "God wants the world to be saved. So much so, that "He gave His only begotten son, that whosoever believes in Him, should not perish but have everlasting life."
It is bold to say, that this is who God is. This is what He is all about.
He wants the world to be saved (that includes you and I) If you have never accepted God's gift of salvation to you, it is here, right now, to be received, and lived out to eternity.
In Jesus we walk in newness of life, and and we walk in joy, peace, and hope. I wonder, do you have these things today? Are you walking in a dark uncertainty? Are you walking in sorrow and despair?
It is true that we don't know about tomorrow. But Jesus does.
Wouldn't it be better to have Him leading the way, than for us to be our own blind guides?
Salvation belongs to the Lord, and it is for us! Not just for now, but forever! Why not receive it today! GP
