One does not need to KNOW God to be called and USED by him. Believers, however, need to KNOW him to walk in power. We must not touch his GLORY by taking CREDIT for His actions.
“And why have I called you for this work?
Why did I call you by name when you did not know me? It is for the sake of Jacob my servant, Israel my chosen one.
I am the Lord; there is no other God.
I have equipped you for battle, though you don’t even know me, so all the world from east to west will know there is no other God. I am the Lord, and there is no other.
I create the light and make the darkness.
I send good times and bad times. I, the Lord, am the one who does these things.”
Isaiah 45: 4-7 (NLT).
NEVER TAKE CREDIT FOR GOD’S WORK!
How many of you need extra peace today?
Jesus is with us now and forever.
He will never leave nor forsake us.
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
Matthew 11: 28-30 (NIV). #Bible #Peace #Rest #meditation
These verses are more easily posted than practiced. Help me, Lord
“Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them.
Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep.
Live in harmony with one another.
Do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly.
Never be wise in your own sight.
Repay no one evil for evil, but give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all.
If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.
Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.”
Romans 12: 14-19 (NIV).
