I remember always picturing in my mind that before God made everything He was alone. But He was never alone. John 1:1 tells us, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” This just made me happy.
Also I used to picture it as dark in the beginning, before the stars were created. But that is not right either!
I John 1:5 tells us, “ This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.”
These things just made me happy to realize. But then I got to thinking that for a child of God how impossible it is for us to be alone. When I was a little girl God used my fear of being alone to call on Him for salvation.
There is something else that has always existed, and will always be around. I Corinthians 13:8-13 says, “Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away. . . .For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.”
Jesus said in John 14:31 “But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence.” He also said of His Father, “for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.” (John 17.24).
I John 4:18 says, “[F]or God is love.”
Love was from the beginning, and the Lord will never stop loving those that are His. And He will never leave us alone (Heb. 13.5).
Another thing that will never change is that God is on His throne!
“The Lord is King for ever and ever . . . “ (Ps. 10.16). He is in charge. He is in control.
He is in control of today.
“ This is the day which the Lord hath made . . .” (Ps. 118:24). And He is for sure in charge of tomorrow!
He has power to help us live for Him today. And He has strength for us to live for Him tomorrow.
“[A]nd as thy days, so shall thy strength be.” Deuteronomy 33:25
Psalm 1:2-3 says,
“But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.”
The more we seek Jesus the more strength we have. I was just listening to a Bible program, and it was talking about how we need to get in touch with Christ and not a middle man. And a lady wrote in and talked about how she was going through a hard time, but then it just got harder and how it was the most difficult time of her life. And she talked about how she just kept reading the Bible and listening to the Bible program and how the Lord used that and got her through.
On hard days I’ve not always turned to the Lord. But He has never let me fall when I turned to Him. (And He chased me down when I wasn’t turning to Him, and got me to stop dragging my feet). But as I was meditating on all these good things that will never change, I remembered I Corinthians 15:58. He has done so much good for us, we ought to pray to serve Him. We ought to be stedfast in His service.
These have been just a few thoughts.
God bless!
