In the Holy Bible, Old Testament,
God is telling about how he loved Israel as His child. He tells it was He who
taught them to walk taking them by the arms, but they are not realizing any of
that, even the healing provided by Him. God is telling how he cannot leave them
even if they don’t listen to him. These is written in the book of Hosea whom
God told to marry a prostitute, search for her every night and bring her back
to him and love her, to make us know - this is the way God loves us. God tells
he will not destroy them and He is waiting for them to call upon His name when
enemy comes against them, so that he can destroy the enemies and save His
children (Hosea 11).
Yes, when the children of God is
hungry and thirsty and when they call upon Him in their trouble, he will
deliver them and settle them and so let us give thanks to the Lord for his
unfailing love (Psalms 107: 5-8).
People’s knowledge and hard work
can help them make a tower of Babel, but the real meaning and wealth comes from
the creator. Bad and evil days will definitely come to a child of God. But he
will have the faith and hope in God that the Lord will deliver him from the
evil days and from the wicked deceivers surrounding him (Psalms 49: 5).
Jesus Christ told a parable about
a rich fool (Luke 12: 13-21). This
rich man had plenty of corps and he was planning to build bigger place to store
his corps. He was planning to take life easy, eat drink and be merry. He was
not bothered about God who provides, but was proud about his hard work and
knowledge. In Luke 12: 20, “But God said to him, you fool! This very
night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have
prepared for yourself?” Jesus Christ is telling about the one who is not
eager towards God through this parable.
When you are in Christ, you will
never think about the worldly riches and be proud of it. It does not mean that
you live a life of poverty, but you will not live a life to enjoy the worldly
riches, even God provide it to you, but your hearts will be set above to the
sacrifice Christ has done for you and will be always thinking about the glory
of heaves where Christ is seated (Colossians
3: 1-4).
God wants everyone to put to
death the earthly nature where people go behind lust, sexual immorality, evil
desires, greed, anger, rage, malice, slander, filthy language and lie. God
wants you to leave that old self and put a new self which is to be same as that
of the image of your creator (Colossians
3: 5-11).
A worldly person cannot change
his life to a new self with his power or through some meditation. It is only
through repenting your sins and accepting Christ Jesus that you will be able to
change yourself.
“If you declare with your mouth, Jesus is Lord, and believe in your
heart that God raise him from the dead, you will be saved” (Romans 10: 9)
When you receive Christ Jesus,
Spirit of God will help you to walk in truth and see the glory of God in your
life. “But when he, the Spirit of truth,
comes, he will guide you into all the truth” (John 16: 13).
May The Lord be with you and
guide you to see things above, put to death all evil within you and help you to
walk in truth and be an example to others in Jesus name
