John 1:34 And I have seen and have borne witness that this is the Son of God."
I have not physically seen Jesus but I know He is here. I see evidence of God's Son in His creation, His Word and His people! His Word is alive and brings people to repentance! Our salvation comes through no one else! If you are waiting on a physical encounter with God, you will receive it through His Word, for His Word is alive and will change your heart forever!! His word is light in a world filled with darkness.
John 1 :1-14 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. He came as a witness, to bear witness about the light, that all might believe through him. He was not the light, but came to bear witness about the light. The true light, which enlightens everyone, was coming into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet the world did not know him. He came to his own, and his own people did not receive him. But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God. And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.
Suppose you were a small child with a brain tumor that caused you to have many seizures a day. Suppose that same child's family loved Christ and followed Him by faith. Suppose you had to make a choice about brain surgery that could take away some of your childs' mental or physical capacity! Could you totally lean on Christ? This family did! They poured out their prayer to a Holy merciful God to take care of their son, in a way that would glorify Jesus name. They followed in faith, into an unknown place of pain and suffering, leaning on God's promise that He would be there!! And God was there for them and will be there until they meet Him in heaven! And you know what is even more amazing, God will use them to help others as they walk a similar path. This precious family was chosen by God for His purpose.
Heb.13:5 Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, "I will never leave you nor forsake you."
2 Cor.1:3-4 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.
Eph.1:9-10 making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his purpose, which he set forth in Christ as a plan for the fullness of time, to unite all things in him, things in heaven and things on earth.Romans 8:28 And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.
I can't help but think of all the people who are in turmoil at this very moment because they do not have peace in the Lord. It makes me think of this bible verse that I strive to live, but being human, I am often weak and fail. Matt.6:27 And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life?
Why waste precious time worrying about things you can not control? Trust in Christ for no matter what the day brings He will be there! Lord, You have told us You will never leave or forsake us. Give us faith from Your Word to live and trust in You. We don't have to worry because You are Lord and King over all things. Amen
