God's Desire for Your Life

John Waterhouse The Missal
God's desire for you

It is the will of God for His children to live an overcoming life. God is often left to take up the broken pieces when we have disobeyed his will; when we reap the harvest of our actions, often He is blamed for everything that goes wrong. And yet when we read his words we see it is the will of God to bless and guide us through our every situation. Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace; thereby good shall come unto thee. Receive, I pray thee, the law from his mouth, and lay up his words in thine heart. Job 22:21,22. Job reminds us that God is willing and eager to do abundantly, above all that we can imagine.

The Peace Within the Pieces of Life

"But the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children. Psalm 103:17."

As the years come and go we find no pleasure in them; for each new day, month, or year is a reminder, one which brings us closer to the reality that we grow older, that each additional year makes us more aware of our shortcomings and our unfulfill expectations.

God's Last Call

Christ is engaged in the judgement of his people, soon this work of judgement will be over. What are you doing to ensure that your name is written and stays in the Book of life, That you might inherit eternal life, the abundant life which Christ promised all who believe in him will receive. When Christ finishes this work then the case of all men would be decided. The awful decree will be pronounced: "He who is filthy let him be filthy still, he that is unjust let him be unjust still, and he that is righteous let him be righteous still." (Revelation 22:11).
