Do you see Jesus as your rock? Do you trust Jesus with every ounce of your being? If not, you should. Jesus is always with us. He is never not interested in what is happening in your life. He is never surprised by what is going on. He is always constant, always present, always loving and always our rock. "We can take great comfort that God never sleeps- so we can." (Dianna Booher)
If you don't know Jesus, what are you waiting for? Jesus came to earth for one purpose, saving grace and perfect atonement for our sins. God's plan of sacrificing His only Son was for our sins. It was God's plan all along to save His people through one final atoning sacrifice. John 3:16 tells us, " For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."
God provided His Son, Jesus, as our Rock, our Cornerstone, our Savior. Jesus should be in every moment of our lives and not just allowed to be a part of our Sunday worship time. God desires an intimate relationship with each of us. Jesus is coming back and God wants ALL of His children to be with Him in eternity. What are you waiting for?
God loves you more than you could ever imagine. God is with us at all times. God gives us comfort when our heart is breaking. God gives us peace when we are fearful. God gives us strength when we feel we just can't take the next step. God is a God of details and not a single moment passes by Him. But God won't force you to follow Jesus. God is faithful and will patiently wait for you to allow Him into your heart. But friends, the time is drawing near when Jesus will return and gather up those who have believe in Him. Don't let another sun go down on a closed heart for God.
I personally could not get through an entire day without the grace that God gives me. I, like so many of us, was a lukewarm believer for years. It took God removing everything for me to truly turn my eyes to Him. We lost our home. We lost jobs. We had to move across the country several times. And with each change, I can see growth and less independence and more dependence on God. If you allow God into your heart, while each day will still have obstacles and struggles, God provides you with strength and courage you could never provide for yourself. Don't be lukewarm friends, jump in with both feet and declare it with your mouth that Jesus is Lord. Jesus is our rock. Jesus is YOUR
"God-His way is perfect; the word of the Lord is pure.
He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him." Psalm 18:30 HCSB
God's way is perfect. God's love for you can never be lost. When you are weak, God is strong. And a life build on the rock of Jesus can never be shaken. "When you live a surrendered life, God is willing and able to provide for your every need." (Corrie ten Boom) Trust in the Lord Almighty. Lean into Him who is fully capable of holding you up and walking alongside you. Jesus is the rock that is steadfast and never wavers. Trusting in Jesus brings peace where there was once chaos. Jesus can provide all you need. All you need do is trust in Him, believe in Him, and ask Him into your heart. Don't be shy, He's right there ready and waiting.
Father, You are our constant rock in all situations. I pray that we would trust You and build our lives upon Your Rock that can never be shaken. Lord, for those that do not know You, I ask that they would open their eyes to welcoming You into their hearts. You provided Your Son as a sacrifice to save us from the ugliness of our sins. Thank You Lord for loving us that much. Amen.
