Watching a peaceful scene, such as a deer grazing in an open field is rewarding in so many ways. The obvious one that comes to mind is “God made this lovely creature” and the second thought would be, “and He cares for this little precious thing, so how much more does He care for us?”
The Lord is our lifeline, our breathing apparatus, and our whole reason for existence. He– the sole creator of the Universe, and all things, big and small, He made us from scratch, and we are who we are because of Him.
In Hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began… (Titus 1:2)
Before we were even born, God was reconciled to His promises for His children. He offers us eternal reward, and salvation. We can breather easier as we go through life, although sometimes a perilous course…however, knowing that He will ultimately bring home His promise of eternal life, makes it so much easier to get through it. His love, His wisdom, and His strength, get us through any hardship, and will make us that much stronger when we come through it. His unsurpassed magnificence, and compassionate nature, is apparent through His mercy and grace, toward us… His children.
For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the pride of life, is not of the Father but is of the world. 17 And the world passes away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides for ever. (1 John 2:15 KJV)
Things of the world, are insignificant, compared to the eternal reward of being in paradise with the Father. We live life, according to His will and purposes, and as we become more involved with His word, and His commandments, we find the things of the world, less entertaining. Superficial gains reap superficial reward. It becomes easier to turn from shallow practices, and easier to shine our light as we conform and become more refined in His image. Eternal rewards…
…You have come to a judge (the God of all people) and to the spirits of people who have God’s approval and have gained eternal life. 24 You have come to Jesus, who brings the new promise from God, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better message than Abel’s. (Hebrews 12:23-24 KJV)
Through the Lord, Jesus Christ, we have been saved, and forgiven. We, can breathe, our life line is in place, and our actions are being noted. We will sow what we reap, and harvest time is not far off. But, the incredible feeling of peace, along with the promise of God’s Word, is beyond description. It is more a feeling that supercedes any elaboration process, for words fail to incorporate the reverberating happiness that resonates within your soul, when you have an intimate relationship with God.
The feeling of bliss and internal peace begins and ends with God. His word, His love and His promise of eternal life speaks directly to our hearts.
Can you hear His voice???
Listen, be still and “know that I am God” (Psalm 46:10 KJV)
…You have come to a judge (the God of all people) and to the spirits of people who have God’s approval and have gained eternal life. 24 You have come to Jesus, who brings the new promise from God, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better message than Abel’s. (Hebrews 12:23-24 KJV)
Christ has given us the promise of eternal life. (John 2:25 KJV)
