What are you doing today reader, is life difficult? Throughout the world we are experiencing a terrifying surge of unknown happenings, that can be very frightening.
Possibly, you are also finding it difficult to see a sign post of hope. It is true that when you don't know the way forward it can be very unsettling. Although let us make a declaration. God is there He knows each one of us and loves us. His plans are extensive and we can trust Him.
Of course, at the beginning of the world when creation started everything was peaceful. Tranquility and hope pervaded the atmosphere, where trees and shrubs bowed to the creator of the universe when He went past. Nature was rapturous in this atmosphere, although soon everything changed when the blight of sin brought corruption.
This encroaching sin, began to dominate the mournful earth, like a plateau of blackness and permeated everything. Many years on, a glimmer of light, showed that change was coming. When a company of angels lit up the sky over shepherds in the fields, it was electric, excitement was rife as the whole earth experienced the remarkable touch of Heaven to earth! All nature was ecstatic, a new order was about to happen and in Heaven there was an explosion of joy. The world was experiencing possibilities for the future that were endless, once the Saviour arrived.
Once the world felt the touch of The Lord Jesus, and His beautiful voice called the elements to order on the lake, His actions declared that change. Every tree was alive to the aroma that the mighty Son of God brought, singing in silent rapturous praise. He is the Lord!
However there was one small fig tree, that was deaf to this resounding praise and chose to lay dormant, when the Lord walked that way.
In our world there is an element that is never seen with the naked eye, but known so well by the extraordinary power and anointing of God. A small fig tree seems so incidental but it is an segment that stands out, next to the majesty of the Lord. Similarly today, it is abundantly clear, that the attitude and intentions of many in this world is like that barren tree. Arrogantly holding a willful disdain for the Lord Jesus Christ and for all that is not understood, as irrelevant. Scorning the value of the cross and giving allegiance to a Saviour as an amusing anecdote.
Reader, let me describe my experience when forty four years ago I read two books that directed me to this Saviour. I found it amazing on reading the evidence and after confirming it in the bible, I decided I must respond and did so on my knees in repentance.
I can tell you here and now, that it was a most remarkable experience. The Lord Jesus Christ is real, and I felt His touch as my tears fell, He was there alright, right next to me. I was changed as a fountain of pure love transformed me. He filled me with His Holy Spirit power, and wiped the heart ache of many broken years. I knew completely that He would never leave me and got up on my feet a women saved by grace. Wherever you are whatever your heartache is bring it to the Saviour of the world, He is waiting to hear from you! John 8 I am the light of the world, whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.
Matthew 8 v26-27 ….Then he got up an rebuked the wind and waves....they were amazed, what kind of man is this,.... that even the wind and waves obey him?
