Provides Not Just Our Essentials

"..I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly."
John 10:10

God not just sustains us, but affords us the joy of dwelling in His vicinity, enjoying His presence, grace and power. He imparts not only just our absolute essentials, but also profusely favors us, making our life remarkably happy and blessed.

Desire To Be Inspected

"Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting."
Psalm 139:23,24

Let us ask God to thoroughly analyse us, so that we might not be under any trickery or false influence; that we may not delight in any cooked-up impressions. Let us distrust ourselves and ask God to take total control of our will and thoughts. Let us be put to investigation to find if anything in us alienates us from God and let us track down His path to life inflexibly.

We And Our Descendants - Blessed By The Lord

"They will not toil in vain or bear children doomed to misfortune; for they will be a people blessed by the LORD, they and their descendants with them."
Isaiah 65:23

None of our labor will be unfruitful nor will be devoured nor plundered. Instead, we will enjoy the fruit of our labor, and joy, peace and security will be the consequences for us and our children, for fearing the Lord. We will feel great and grateful to the Lord for parenting our children. They will be a blessing to us and the society and not a grief or trouble to us. The Lord will bless us and our offspring with spiritual and temporal blessing, and we will together serve Him happily unto the end.

The Only Love That Extends Forever

"..I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with loving-kindness."
Jeremiah 31:3

God chose us even before anything was created. He didn not need a reason to love us, but He loves us because He Himself is love. His love for us is not just momentary but extends forever. There will never be any shadow of variation in His love for us.

Utterly Unreliable

"Common people are as worthless as a puff of wind, and the powerful are not what they appear to be. If you weigh them on the scales, together they are lighter than a breath of air."
Psalm 62:9

Common men can never be depended upon, because they are more unstable, easily tossed here and there by their circumstances. They cannot help us even if they want to. Worse is the case with men of high degree. Meaningless and utterly unreliable are their promises. They don't even have time to remember their word. So, men altogether have no real weight; no real worth. They are unworthy of our trust and reliance.

Pray And Act

"..we prayed to our God and set a guard as a protection against them day and night." Nehemiah 4:9

Let us first pray, seeking God's strength, leadership and favor before starting a work. Let us realize our limitations and seek His unlimited providence. Let us not just pray and sit back, neglecting our responsibility, but get down into action. Nothing should frighten us from our mission. Let us cast all our cares, griefs and fears before God and be careful to carry out our duty.
