Checking into God's Presence... Christian journey are not always very easy; although every child of God wants to have a troubled free life in their journey of faith. There are many experiences in the Bible which shows the journey of faith under Christ name sets every child of God on what can be classified as the adventurous part of nature. We only need to read Luke 9 and discover the necessity behind how Jesus came to feed the five thousand with 2 fishes and 5 loaves of bread. Similarly in Mathew 9:20-22; the persistent faith of a great believer showed how Jesus healed the woman with the issue of blood. Drawing from these two references; so too those who press on in their strides and beliefs in Christ will ultimately meet God. He will give them strength to outlive their challenges and eventually take them to their expected end. Jesus too understood the adventurous concept in the Christian life; and so in John 14:1-2 Jesus comforted his disciples by setting them on the path of how to experience peace, strength and victory in their daily experiences of life. Jesus reaffirmed- "Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me." The first attribute to have as a child of God is the ability to believe in God and no matter what! Jeremiah 29:12 encapsulates- "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end." Doubts, fear, lack of faith and commitment to the true values of Christ in the journey of faith will always renounce and or ostracize the true comfort Christ is willing to bring our ways. For You know the thoughts You think toward us Father: According to Your word, they are thoughts of peace and not of evil to lead and give us an expected end." Let these be our portion in Jesus name. Amen Just Checking into His Presence...
