And by this we know that we have come to know him, if we keep his commandments.  Whoever says “I know him” but does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him, but whoever keeps his word, in him truly the love of God is perfected.  By this we may know that we are in him: whoever says he abides in him ought to walk in the same way in which he walked. 

1 John 2:3-6

With each new day comes an exciting opportunity to interact and to grow deeper Spiritually, while entrenching our roots further into the foundation of Christ.

Adhering to His Word by reading is important in that “faith comes by hearing the Word” but also “applying the applications of Christianity” wherever we can.

In the flesh inherently we will slip and fall short, and God knows this.  Because we’re not perfection, (not yet) but we are growing daily, and aspiring to walk by His commandments, and be obedient to His will.

Sometimes we say something and as the words come forth, we immediately cringe for we know instinctually it was not the wise way to go. Inwardly the Spirit will alert us; “nope, not the way to go…those words were not acceptable to me.”  And then we will have to try and “undo” the damage.  With Christ, we are able to do that, and He will forgive us as He gently chides us and brings us back to the correct path.

Christianity on paper is quite different from Christianity in reality.  It can be daunting and challenging to say the least.  It’s a constant battle in the mind, as the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.  And that is where being drenched in the Word is the best tool we can have as our arsenal.

It is a natural deterrent in times of adversity, and it can provide the balm needed when we are in pain.  It is an advantage when we are faced with hindrances, and it is a barrier from evil. It is the strength we garner in times of weakness, and it is the escape from the suffocating world as we concentrate of what really matters.

Knowing we are children of the One and only LORD God almighty, is the biggest blessing we can possibly have.  The joy of His love and unconditional and unwavering promises in His Word, is beyond human understanding.  But it is a feeling of peace, confidence and knowledge that will sustain us all the days of our lives while here on earth.

And when we have accomplished all our LORD has ordained us to do and lovingly brings us home, we will then be rewarded for Eternity.

Have you interacted with Christ today? 

Have you told Him how very much you love Him?

Have you thanked Him for all blessings? 

If not, what are you waiting for? 

His arms are open wide to bring you in for a hug whether or not we deserve it. 

That’s the kind of God we serve. 

How great is that?

How great is He?

How blessed are we?

“Father, thank You for the continuous opportunities to serve You, and for all my blessings, and for never deserting me, I love You for all You are, do and say, now, tomorrow and always, in Jesus’ precious name, Amen.”
