“Just
like a deer that craves streams of water,
my
whole being craves you, God
My
whole being thirsts for God, for the living God.
When
will I come and see God's face?
My
tears have been my food day and night”- Psalms 42:1-3
We
basically are with habit of searching..searching for something that
is missing in our life..the perfect satisfaction. In each incidents
or wishes that buds out for us and from us is pointing for this
satisfaction...Do we gain this perfect ultimate satisfaction in all
we encounter? With this life, each of this events, give us just 'OK'.
Again this search continues one after another….until we reach the
perfect satisfaction….of our thirst- 'the Living God'
My
soul thirst, just like a deer craves of stream of water, for the
living God. The thirst of God in our life will lead to the opening of
the door of knowing Him more. The more we begin to know Him it
reveals,
“Great
is our Lord and abundant in strength; His understanding is infinite”
-
Psalms 147:5
The
knowledge of Our Lord reveals to us a vastness of His love and mercy
showered upon us. The experience of His love towards us makes us
think over our life. Even being so ineligible God loves us, He
sacrificed for us. He saved us by pouring out Jesus blood and
breaking His body for us so that we are living in His spirit.
“While
we were still weak, at the right moment, Christ died for ungodly
people. It isn’t often that someone will die for a righteous
person, though maybe someone might dare to die for a good person. But
God shows his love for us, because while we were still sinners Christ
died for us “
-Romans
5:6-7
The
marvelous fathoms of Gods love and mercy builds faith in us. The
more we thirst...the more and more we know, the more love of God
flows to us….the more faith we build up. The faith in our Lord
leads to our obedience in Him. This sincere obedience out of our love
has a great reward from our Lord- The Holy Spirit.
“We
are witnesses of such things, as is the Holy Spirit, whom God has
given to those who obey him. “-
Acts 5:32
The
Holy spirit teaches us to pray..Prompting us to explore the living
word in its fullness.
“Stay
alert and pray so that you won’t give in to temptation. The spirit
is eager, but the flesh is weak.” -Mathew 26:41
I
ask that he will strengthen you in your inner selves from the riches
of his glory through the Spirit. I ask that Christ will live in your
hearts through faith. As a result of having strong roots in love, ask
that you’ll have the power to grasp love’s width and length,
height and depth, together with all believers “- Ephesians 3:16-18
In
the same way, the Spirit comes to help our weakness. We don’t know
what we should pray, but the Spirit himself pleads our case with
unexpressed groans. The one who searches hearts knows how the Spirit
thinks, because he pleads for the saints, consistent with God’s
will. -Romans 8:26-27
The
Holy Spirit- the power given to us to obey God in all circumstances
of our life- lead us for the fullness in submission of ourselves to
our Lord. Just as Jesus did, in all incidents we come through we dare
to say “Father,
if it’s your will, take this cup of suffering away from me.
However, not my will but your will must be done.”
-Luke 22:42
Submission
to our Fathers will will lead us to seek His wish. This is the wisdom
from heaven. Seeking Gods will in every moment of our life channels
to the flow of wisdom. The wisdom to understand the Living Word.
“You
have Wisdom with you. She knows all your works. She was present with
you when you were making the world. She knows what pleases you. She
knows what someone needs to do to follow your commandments. Send her
out to me from your holy heavens. Send her from your glorious throne
so that she may labor with me here and that I may learn what is
pleasing to you.
She knows and understands everything. She’ll
guide me wisely in all that I do. Her great honor will guard me. Then
my works will be acceptable” - Wisdom 9:9-11
The
revelation of the Living Word through wisdom urges us to live our
life as the Living Word, to pray to get Gospel in our tongue when we
open our mouth to speak. (Ephesians 6:19)
Through
the revelation of our Lords love and mercy towards us He pour out His
peace to our mind. This peace increases and increases in our faith
and submission towards our Lord .
“The
peace of Christ must control your hearts—a peace into which you
were called in one body. And be thankful people. The word of Christ
must live in you richly. Teach and warn each other with all wisdom by
singing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs. Sing to God with
gratitude in your hearts. Whatever you do, whether in speech or
action, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus and give thanks to
God the Father through him.”- Colossians 3: 15-17
Our
Lord is molding us , assigning us to be the stakeholder of the
treasures that He deposits in us.
“serve
each other according to the gift each person has received, as good
managers of God’s diverse gifts. Whoever speaks should do so as
those who speak God’s word. Whoever serves should do so from the
strength that God furnishes. Do this so that in everything God may be
honored through Jesus Christ “- 1 Peter 4:10-11
“But
we have this treasure in clay pots so that the awesome power belongs
to God and doesn’t come from us” -
2 Corinthians 4:7
God
molds us to the great eternal mission,
Jesus
said to them again,“Peace be with you. As the Father sent me, so I
am sending you.”Then he breathed on them and said,“Receive the
Holy Spirit.
If you forgive anyone’s sins, they are
forgiven; if you don’t forgive them, they aren’t forgiven.”-
John 20:21-23
He
said to them, “Go into the whole world and proclaim the good news
to every creature. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved,
but whoever doesn’t believe will be condemned.”
-Mark
16:15
