“For God not only loved, but continues to love us, so much
that He sent His only Son to pave the way for us to be Sons of God and know
that He will never leave us or forsake us.” (Hainley rendition)
Hey Gang: Gramps had another thought prepared for today
but I sensed God saying, “Slow down, Buster Brown, and let Me re-emphasize
several things that we need to have tucked away in our hearts and minds.
As you know we just returned from a
month away from our home base, two plus weeks of that time volunteering our
services at Voice of Martyrs.
We decided
that it might be best if we detoured on our route home and spend a couple days
of rest and relaxation at one of our favorite spots on this earth, Branson,
Missouri. While there we had warm
fellowship with some kin folks and went to see the stage play\musical
“Noah”. Words will not describe this awesome production.
But, as I sat there, my mind began
to remember all the awesome things
that God has done in our world and what He want to do in our lives.
The creation story is awesome,
the story of Moses in the wilderness leading His children to the Promise Land is
awesome, the parting of the sea, the
many times He protected His chosen people when enemies tried to annihilate
them, the sending of His Son to prepare a way for us to one day be with Him,
the opening of the way for Israel to once again be a nation for the Jewish
people, all awesome..
And His prophetic word - which gives
us the roadmap that one day Satan will be cast into the Lake of Fire for all
eternity, and we will enjoy the awesome fringe
package He has prepared for His children!
As I thought of these awesome things that God did for you and me,
I also began to think of the awesome
promises that gave us in His Word; such things as “Hey, gang, I love you with a
depth that you can never understand;” “I will supply all your needs”, “I will
never leave you or forsake you” and the
other thousand promises placed in His Word exclusively for His children.
As I sat there my mind returned to
the day I stood on the Mount of Olives and looked down across the Kidron Valley
to the Gate Beautiful and remembered the awesome
promise that Jesus will once again plant His feet on the top of that sacred
mountain, cross the Kidron Valley and enter the Gate Beautiful to rightfully
take back the Kingdom that is His.
Yes, his roadmap is awesome, but there is one awesome piece that is yet to be completed.
He has not come back for me -YET but He
is going to complete this task one day soon.
Sooooo, all ye that are heavy laden,
look up, for I sense He is preparing for that day when He will collect all
those whose name is written in the Lamb’s Book of Life and take us to that awesome place prepared by the God of
the creation for His children. Can you
say “Thank you Lord!.
Blessings,
Gramps
PS – Jesus left His place, to come
to my place, to die in my place, to take me to His place! Gma
