Our Lord Jesus Christ does Amazing Things

“Commit your way to the Lord, trust also in Him, and He shall bring it to pass. He shall bring forth your righteousness as the light, and your justice as the noonday.” [1]

To not “go with the flow” of ungodly culture but to live for God requires commitment, trust and patience. The Lord will give the yield. There will be a harvest.

“Those who wait on the Lord, they shall inherit the earth.” “The meek shall inherit the earth and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.” [2]

The Lord keeps His promise. Our part is to trust Him. He “is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us.” [3]

“The Lord upholds the righteous.” “I have not seen the righteous forsaken.” “The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell in it forever.” [4]

The Lord is the source of righteousness. He gives, protects and nurtures righteousness in us.

“The salvation of the righteous is from the Lord; He is their strength in the time of trouble.” [5]

Left to ourselves, we could not stay on course, but the Lord saves and helps us. He gives us strength to not faint when trouble comes our way. Strength to know that each trial will pass in due season! Strength to know that many blessings shall come to us when He returns.

“The backslider in heart will be filled with his own ways, but a good man will be satisfied from above.” “A wise man fears and departs from evil, but a fool rages and is self-confident.” [6]

To backslide from the Lord is to turn from the Lord toward stuff, others and self. It is better to do God’s will and have Him satisfy you. God is no man’s debtor. Whatever we give to Him, He blesses.

Self-confidence? Who am I in comparison to the Lord? My life in the hands of God is a recipe for His glory to be revealed. Our Lord Jesus Christ does amazing things. He does all things well. [7]
