"Selah" 6-16-05

Good morning, Lord Jesus. "Selah" -- it is good to "pause and reflect" on Your deeper purposes and power eternally unfolding beneath the hurriedness of the moments of our lives. ... You hold all things in Your hands. There is peace in the security of Your sovereignty. Though men make their choices and fallen angels war against Your will, You are at work to redeem all things to accomplish Your purposes. Though time unfolds in our lives moment by moment and day by day, with the passing of every decision we make, You already see it all. All things are already present to You. You already know every choice that will be made, the consequence of every sinful rebellion against Your will, the power of every sacrifice in submission to Your call, and the glory of Your redemption of it all, in Your timing and in Your way. Though You are the Ancient of Days, You are the King Who is coming in glory, and You are a very present help now in every moment of our days. "For I am God, and there is no other; I am God and there is no one like Me, declaring the end from the beginning and from the ancient times things not yet done, saying, 'My purpose shall stand, and I will fulfill My intention' " (Isaiah 46.9-10). Yes, Lord. Rule and reign in our hearts, redeeming all things in accordance with Your purpose. Give us faith to believe You are at work through it all. Give us the peace that comes from knowing we have entrusted it all to You, as best as we can, all by Your grace. Time marches on, but it marches in submission to Your command. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen. Be encouraged this day!
