BLESSED ASSURANCE!
The search for purpose is prevalent throughout the world. Many are asking questions like, “Why am I here?” “How did I get here?” “Is there any purpose for my life?” The world is searching for the reason behind our existence. At the deepest part of humanity, there is a longing for something solid to believe in and to rest their life upon! Being assured about something in your life brings contentment and peace.
There is a solid rock you can place your life upon, and there is a way for you to have absolute assurance of its existence and pertinent reality. God in his passion and love for us, gave us his Word – his forever settled Word, which is unchanging and eternally trustworthy! What God has said in his precious Word,he will fulfill, and of that you can be sure!
Psalm 119:89 Forever, O LORD, Your Word is settled in heaven. (NKJV)
Psalm 89:2 I will declare that your love stands firm forever, that you established your faithfulness in heaven itself.
Matthew 24:35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.
John 8:31-32 To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, "If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."
As a young boy, I remember singing this beloved hymn, “ Blessed Assurance, Jesus is mine; oh, what a foretaste of glory divine.” How true this is! When you find out that God is in love with you, sees you as perfect and declares you as his very own, it changes everything! This is where a foretaste of “glory divine” becomes your way of life! God longs for you to know the security of living inside of him. He is not like the things of this world that are up and down and can be gone in a moment; he is the same yesterday, today, and forever! (Heb 13:8)
The Word of God is his life-changing love letter to you. As you soak in its truths, abundant life, freedom and security become your lot. I have often said, “Your problems are not your problem; your problem is the way you perceive your problems.” An ever-present God who is much bigger than the size of your problem equals no problem! The Word of God is so powerful that it has the ability if surrendered to and meditated upon to step you into a life that experiences a piece of heaven itself!
It is time for your life to be stable and strong, fully resting and trusting that through God, your best is yet to come! The Word of God is absolute and his love for you today is unshakable! Today is your day to let go and rest in his arms! Oh yes – it is time to have…
