Seek Grace - Bible Meditation

 "Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord" (Gen 6:8)


            This is the first mention of  'grace' in the word of God. The context is the time when the world was corrupt to the core and people were grieving the heart of God. The Lord pours His grace upon His people when there is darkness and sin everywhere -  so that they may be preserved.

              Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord. This is the secret to find grace - looking only unto the eyes of the Lord. Had Noah looked elsewhere, he woild have found disgrace instead of grace. We often lose or miss the grace of God because we look to man, instead of to the Lord.

              Noah 'found' grace, as he sought for it. Had he not sought for it, he could have never found it. What made him seek it? The corruptions around him. "Where sin abounded, grace did much more abound" (Rom 5:20). So child of God, when surrounded by evil and when in tempting situations, do not fail to look to the eyes of the Lord for grace.

                 The grace of God that was in Noah made him perfect and just in the Old Testament. How musch more certainley the grace of God will make us perfect and just in this Grace Period! "They which receive abundance of grace...shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ" (Rom 5:17).

WHAT IS YOUR GOAL? - Bible Meditation

“One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to enquire in His temple” (Psa 27:4). David desired one thing, and he desired it with all his heart; his one desire was to behold the Lord. God’s desire is that we too be single-minded in our seeking after Him. If we allow ourselves to be distracted by anything, we shall never succeed in this, our most important spiritual quest. Paul was also single-minded: “This ONE THING I do,” he said, “forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus” (Phil 3:13,14). The Lord is asking you one thing today: Are you a person of one mind, or is your mind set on a number of different things? What are you seeking? Perhaps the devil is tempting you to focus your mind on the things of this world. Jesus rebuked Mar

             An eaglet knows that it is going to ne day fly like mother - not creep on the earth or walk on the ground. We are begotten of our God. The name of our Jesus is wonderful. His children are also wonderful like him. That's why the Word of God says, "Behold, I and the children whom the Lord hath given me are for signs and for wonders in Isreal" (Isa 8:18). Our wonderful Jesus makes our lives wonderful.             Let this wonderful jesus come into your life. He wants to make your life wonderful. He desires to do wonders in your life. He will turn darkness into light. He will create everything out of nothing. Your thoughts, your words, your character, your peace, your joy, will become wonderful. Everything connected with Jesus is wonderful; He will make everything connected with you also wondeful. This life with Jesus is most wonderful and existing.                Our Jesus is going to do something most wonderful very, very soon. A thing that has not been done s

My God ! - Bible Meditation

 "He is my refuge and my fortress; my God; in Him will I trust" (Psa 91:2). Though Saul was chosen by God to be the first king of Isreal, We don't read of him ever referring to the Lord as my God'; but we see David saying 'my God many times. St. Paul says, "My God shall supply all your needs."           How does God become 'my God' or a personal God? by receiving the Holy Spirit, by taking water baptism, or by doing will of God, you cannot make God your God. For God to become 'my God' I must delight to do God's will, " I delight to do Thy will, O my God: Thy law is within my heart"  (Psa 40:8). You may   do the will of God, but you may not doing it joyfully. When you delight to do the will of God, the omnipoint, omnipresent God becomes your own personal God.           Knowing God and knowing about God are two different things. By reading the word of God, by listening to messages, etc. we come know God. But we know God person
