Let The Owner Take Care Of His Property

"O LORD, how manifold are your works! in wisdom have you made them all: the earth is full of your riches."
Psalm 104:24

Abounding and extraterrestrial are the works of God, displaying His wisdom. Every single thing in earth is His and we own nothing. Let us confer the ownership to the Lord so that the Owner takes the whole responsibility of preserving and taking care of His subjects and His possessions.

Will Not Let Us Suffer Sickness

"And the LORD will protect you from all sickness. He will not let you suffer from the terrible diseases you knew.."
Deuteronomy 7:15

The Lord God our Healer will take every sickness away from us even though it may be hereditary or terminal, and will not let us suffer from any disease that we know of or have already experienced. He sent His only Son Jesus Christ, who carried our every sickness at the cross.

Take Your Pills To Be Healed

"My child, pay attention to what I say. Listen carefully to my words.Don't lose sight of them. Let them penetrate deep into your heart, for they bring life to those who find them, and healing to their whole body."
Proverbs 4: 20-22

Let us take the Word of God as medicine by attending and inclining to it, not let it depart from our eyes and hearts so that we can experience a total physical and emotional healing. The more frequent we meditate His Word the more healthier we would be.

We Are Made Complete

"For in Christ lives all the fullness of God in a human body. So you also are complete through your union with Christ, who is the head over every ruler and authority."
Colossians 2: 9,10

If we believe that the whole Godhead i.e. the complete diety of God the Father dwelt in Jesus at His incarnation, now through our fellowship with Christ, we too will be filled with Him, all our imperfections be made perfect, all our wants be filled. We will rejoice in our weaknesses for we will be strong when and where we are weak.

Makes Us Overjoyed By His Works

"For you make me glad by your deeds, LORD; I sing for joy at what your hands have done."
Psalm 92:4

God's work in our lives today is as astounding as the works of His creation. The works of His providence and grace delights us to the utmost and makes us triumph, making our souls burst out with songs of joy.

Our Intimidator Is The Loser

"Anyone who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces; anyone on whom it falls will be crushed."
Matthew 21:44

Anyone who tries to oppose Christ (or the body of Christ i.e. His children) is miserably injuring himself. But if Christ rises in judgement against those who actively keep hurting and abusing, even their chaff will not remain. So, as children of God, we do not need to react to any intimidation because the one who intimidates us is at the loss.

Receive Incredible Grace

"But grace was given to each one of us according to the measure of Christ’s gift."
Ephesians 4:7

Jesus who came down to earth in flesh was full of grace and truth (Jn.1:14). He bestows this grace on us not as a reward for any of our works, but as a free gift, and He wants us to receive this grace in incredible measures (Eph.2:6-8), so that we can reign in life with Him(Rom.5:17).

Your Righteousness And Way, Lord. Not Mine

"Lead me, O LORD, in your righteousness because of my enemies; make your way straight before me."
Psalm 5:8

Let us give up our ways and our self righteousness so that we can be led in His way and in His righteousness earned for us at the cross (2 Cor.5:21), that we may not let our foe triumph by taking a wrong step. When we are thus careful in walking in His ways we can always rejoice and sing over His kind protection (Psa.5:11,12).

God Determines Our Next Step

"I know, LORD, that a man's way of life is not his own; no one who walks determines his own steps."
Jeremiah 10:23

As God's children, we are absolutely under the hands of God, inspired, lead and influenced by divine providence. He delights in our ways when our footsteps are ordered by Him (Ps.37:23) and not acc to our own intention. We need patience to wait and then walk in His ways. But it will be worth waiting for Him to order our footsteps.

Be Pleased To Be Citizens Of His Kingdom

"For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking but of righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit."
Romans 14:17

As children of God, we ought to pursue after His kingdom (Mat.6:33), which does not consist in superficial and ceremonial things but the real love, joy and peace that we are benefitted through the righteousness of Jesus Christ shed abroad in our hearts through the Holy Spirit.
