Citizens Of His Kingdom And Economy

"I have put My words in your mouth and have covered you with the shadow of My hand, to establish the heavens, to found the earth, and to say to Zion, 'You are My people."
Isaiah 51: 16

We have been gifted with the word of the Almighty, faithful God that has the mighty power to create something out of nothing, total protection by His power, assurance of His concern and providence and His ownership over us, telling us that we are citizens of His kingdom and economy.

His Own Hand - Our Help

"Let your hand help me; for I have chosen your precepts."
Psalm 119: 173

When we have made a choice to accept His divine will and have surrendered us to obey Him in everything, we can boldly ask God to lend His own helping hand for us, to satisfy us with all His goodness (104:28), to be with us to work out His salvation (Acts11:21). What a privilege to have the very hands of God that formed, sustains and provides everything to be our help.

Stop Their Mouth By Doing Good

"For so is the will of God, that with well doing you may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:"
1 Peter 2:15

When we keep sanctifying Christ in our hearts, not fearing any intimidation, keeping our conscience clear in the Lord, our slanderers will be put to shame (3:15,16). It is indeed the divine will of God to shut the mouths of the evil-doers not through rebellion but through our good works.

Pacify And Break With Ease

"By long patience is a prince persuaded, and a gentle tongue breaks the bone."
Proverbs 25:15

By calm surrender and patient anticipation without any violence or irritation, we can pacify even a ruthless king. By smooth and humble words, we can soften even the hardest heart. Let us not possess a quick, sharp, dirty tongue that the world is filled with. Instead, let our words be always filled with grace (Colossians 4:6). May our every action be done with utmost patience, manifesting the sign of a true disciple of our Savior Jesus Christ (2 Corinthians 12:12).

Wait And Be Cool

"Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not yourself because of him who prospers in his way, because of the man who brings wicked devices to pass."
Psalm 37: 7

It is always worth waiting for the Lord, for He is never before His time nor a second late to perfect His beautiful will for us. Let us be cool over anything that goes around us for we have the love, grace and magnificence of our God greater than everything to cherish.

Become Recepient Of His Grace

"Grace be with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. Amen."
Ephesians 6: 24

If we say that our love for Christ is true, we will obey His word (1John 2:5), be very careful to please Him in everything we say, do or even think. By loving God, we become recepients of His grace, which is nothing less than God Himself.

His Headship Gains Absolute Victory

"..he must reign, till he has put all enemies under his feet."
1 Corinthians 15: 25

God reigns to overcome and defeat everything until His triumph and jubilation is thoroughly absolute. Are we under His subjection? Do we rank Him as our head in every decision we take, so that He who has dominion over everything gains us victory in all matters concerned and fills us with His fulness all in all? (Ephesians 1: 21-23)

Be Saturated With His Thoughts

"May he turn our hearts to him, to walk in obedience to him and keep the commands, decrees and laws he gave our ancestors."
1 Kings 8: 58

Let us totally rely on the help of God, asking Him not to let our hearts drift towards evil (Ps.141:4), but wholly inclined towards Him, thoroughly saturated with His Spirit and thoughts, so as to please Him in our every walk and talk.

Made To Flourish

"And all the trees of the field shall know that I the LORD have brought down the high tree, have exalted the low tree, have dried up the green tree, and have made the dry tree to flourish: I the LORD have spoken and have done it."
Ezekiel 17: 24

The proud and lofty will be laid back and the low in spirit will be made to flourish by the majesty and power of the Almighty God. This will be witnessed by all men of the world.

Display Your Readiness To Serve

"..I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me."
Isaiah 6: 8

We have to voluntarily offer us to serve the Lord with all our heart, so as to be used mightily by Him. By willingly offering us, we manifest our zeal for Him and then God qualifies us to undertake strange and wonderful missions for Him.

His Spirit Abides Among Us

"according to the word that I covenanted with you when ye came out of Egypt, and my Spirit abode among you: fear ye not."
Haggai 2: 5

We are distinguished from all other people on the face of this earth as we have the divine presence of God dwelling in us(Ex.33:16). Let us take courage and do the work assigned to us, for God is with us and we will see His glory and experience His peace (Hag.2:4,9).

Aroused When We Are Mistreated

"Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up your hand: forget not the humble."
Psalm 10: 12

Though at times God seems to be inattentive to the events happening around us, God is zealous about His own people and is provoked when His children are wronged by the wicked ones. He stretches out His hands against the anger of our foes and protects and preserves us (138:7).

Shepherds Us To Incredibly Fertile Places

"Shepherd Your people with Your scepter, The flock of Your possession Which dwells by itself in the woodland, In the midst of a fruitful field. Let them feed in Bashan and Gilead As in the days of old."
Micah 7: 14

If we submit us to be the people of His pasture, and the sheep of the hand of the great Shepherd (Ps.95:7), He will take extraordinary care and protection of us, leading us with His Word into incredibly fertile place.

Assured Of His Answer

".. their voice was heard, and their prayer came up to his holy dwelling place, even to heaven."
2 Chronicles 30: 27

Even when our life seems to fade away and exhaust (Jonah 2:7), we still have a hope that our petition will reach God's presence and bring forth His favor. How much more will our prayers be heard, when we call on Him from His holy temple, i.e. when we preserve His holy presence within us, for we are the temple of God.

Turn To Be Fine Tuned

"Turn you us to you, O LORD, and we shall be turned; renew our days as of old."
Lamentations 5: 21

It's high time that we totally turn unto God, who is immutable and eternal, whose love and plan for us will never change, to get our physical and spiritual conditions reshaped, into one that's pleasing to God, so that He accepts us into His absolute favor, restoring and reforming our lives.

The LORD Reigns; Worship Him

"Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice: and let men say among the nations, The LORD reigns."
1 Chronicles 16: 31

The divine reign of our Almighty God over all the earth embraces the hearts of all His pals and foes, that even the soulless creatures of the heaven and earth acknowledge and praise Him. Let us therefore ascribe the glory due to His name and worship God in all His holy splendor (vs.28,29).

Inanimate Creatures Shout His Praises

"Sing, O you heavens; for the LORD has done it: shout, you lower parts of the earth: break forth into singing, you mountains, O forest, and every tree therein: for the LORD has redeemed Jacob, and glorified himself in Israel."
Isaiah 44: 23

God will make even His inanimate creatures to sing and breakforth into praises, when His divine will is perfected and when He is glorified through His people. May the heathens see the glory of God manifested through us, His power and might demonstrated through us, His grace and mercy exposed through us, and the truth of the Word of God proved through us, so that they will join with the nature in singing God's praises.

God Reflected Through Us

"I will send my fear before you, and will destroy all the people to whom you shall come, and I will make all your enemies turn their backs to you."
Exodus 23 : 27

Far greater is He that is in us than any one that is powerful or even more in number on this earth (1John 4:4). The only thing we ought to do is to sit at His feet, hear what He says and obey every single command, so that He will be with us (vs.22), reflecting Himself through us.

Cut Down The Foe With The Word Of God

"You have also given me the necks of my enemies, that I might destroy them that hate me."
2 Samuel 22: 41

Let our mouths be filled with the word of God (Heb.4:12; Isa.49:2), which is sharper than any double edged sword so that no evil works, thoughts or plans can ever thrive in our lives, but we can stamp them under our feet and easily overcome them.

Entrust To Have A Perfect Finish

"I will cry to God Most High, To God who accomplishes all things for me."
Psalm 57: 2

Let us never forget to call on God not only when our position is low but always, because the God whom we serve is higher than any highest position we can possess on earth. He is able to bring to a perfect elated conclusion anything we have entrusted in Him.

Our Restoration Is In The Potter's Hand

"..O LORD, You are our Father, We are the clay, and You our potter; And all of us are the work of Your hand."
Isaiah 64 : 8

As we carry the wrath of our Father in heaven for being senseless and negligent in the affairs of God, the remedy and restoration of our lives purely rests on Him. Let us surrender our will and cause into the Potter's hand, who will with utmost care and skill, mould us into vessels that He can use.

Melts Down Complications

"When You did awesome things which we did not expect, You came down, the mountains quaked at Your presence."
Isaiah 64:3

There will be apparent demonstration of God's influence in our lives, supernatural occurences that outdo our expectations. Let us yearn for the presence of God that astonishes us by melting down all our complications, in order to make His name known to His adversaries (vs.1).
