THE STORY OF JESUS: Psalm 119:121-144
“Time for you to act, Lord; your law is being broken.” (Psalm 119:126)
As Jesus followers, we should feel the pain of so much sin and misery.
A world of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, etc. seems like an illusion.
God, this world is a mess, we need Your help, DO SOMETHING!
“Tears flow from my eyes, for your law is not obeyed.” (Psalm 119:136)
Tears are a start, but tears are not enough.
God put us in charge, we’re responsible for the heaven or hell of this world.
Thankfully God has DONE SOMETHING through Jesus, the perfect Adam.
Satan, sin and death have been overcome, the Spirit has been restored to us.
Now it is our duty and task, in Jesus’ Name, to restore God’s kingdom!
Tears should flow from our eyes as we observe greed, hate, inequity, misery.
But more than that, we ought to DO SOMETHING about it.
We cannot save the world, but we can affect our part in it.
In the Spirit of Jesus, we can show love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, etc.
God acts when we act, in and through us, to bring His healing to the world!
What do you sense the Lord saying to you?
PRAYER
Lord, You have done what I cannot (overcome sin, death and hell) so that I can do what I ought. Help me with Your Spirit to DO SOMETHING for good, for God, for others!
At all times serve the living God. Trust on His promises. Stand strong for God is our Help and Refuge. He shows the Way to walk and strengthens our weak feet. He directs our footsteps to walk in His Way.
Although the wrong is oft so strong, God, my God, is the Ruler yet. May those around me see Jesus living in me, a child of the King in Whose power I go forward in every day.
his is my Father’s world:
O let me ne’er forget
That though the wrong seems oft so strong,
God is the Ruler yet.
This is my Father’s world:
Why should my heart be sad?
The Lord is King: let the heavens ring!
God reigns; let earth be glad!
