This morning I was reminded
that God
The Creator
is 'emotionally invested' in His creation
Ps 149:6 says 'He takes pleasure in His people.'
God speaking with Ezekiel in Chapter 18 says;
23 "Do I take any pleasure in the death of the wicked?
declares the Sovereign LORD.
Rather, am I not pleased
when they turn from their ways
and live?"
and
32 "For I take no pleasure in the death of anyone,
declares the Sovereign LORD.
Repent and live!"
Paul's mandate through a vision from God was;
Acts 26:17b "I am sending you to them
18 to open their eyes
and turn them from darkness to light,
and from the power of Satan to God,
so that they may receive forgiveness of sins
and a place among those
who are sanctified by faith in me."
God wants ALL men and women
boys and girls
to live the life He created them to live...
- righteousness,
- peace
- and joy
in the Holy Spirit
ref Rom 14:17
Out from the power of Satan
Out from the destruction of evil
and into the good plan He has
for me.
Oh Lord,
Thank You for reminding me
You take pleasure in me
and You plan
and make provision for me
to be able to live amazingly
as You made me to do.
I choose Your way
today.
Thank You, Lord
