A
reminder for today
"This
must be a magnificent Temple because our God is greater than all other gods. But
who can really build him a worthy home? Not even the highest heavens can
contain him! So who am I to consider building a Temple for him, except as a
place to burn sacrifices to him? (2 Chronicles 2:5-6)
Wow and it is Tuesday again! How are you my friend, I pray
that you are more victorious with each day. Solomon is about to build a temple
for the Lord and as I read this scripture it stood out, because for a moment I see
myself making my body a temple for the Lord. Solomon clearly says that no one
can really build the Lord a temple, because not even the heavens can contain
Him. Two very important statements here: One our temples must be magnificent
for our God is greater than any other and secondly the heavens cannot contain
Him placing the emphasis on the fact that God is not like me and you. God is
far greater than we can imagine. It is important that in this verse we must
place God in His rightful place within our lives and within our temples.
The past few months I have been burdened with a health
issues and in the last week it just escalated to a position where I started to
feel it breaking my hope and bringing me down. I could feel how the continuous pain
started to overwhelm me and how I had to give up on things I enjoyed, because I
just could not do it anymore. It influenced my whole being and you could see it
in my body as I started to lose a lot of weight. I felt fear and disappointment
take hold of me and I felt lost for a moment. After I returned from the doctor
it seemed to get worse and I did not know what to do anymore. All that was left
for me was to place it in God’s hands and all I could say is that whatever happens
let His will be done. And on Sunday my health started to turn around and I started
to feel better. I could see how the enemy’s foul attempts to destroy me
suddenly had no more effect on me as the Lord freed me from this terrible time.
God intervened, because I did not turn against Him, but instead I accepted and
remained faithful even when I felt that I could not go on anymore. So the Lord
restored my temple and renewed my strength so that I can continue the fight and
tell you about His remarkable grace.
My dear friend, God is far greater than we know and everything
has a purpose in this life. We must remain faithful and trust Him. Each victory
that we have every day is so important even the little ones, because each
victory destroys the attempts of the enemy and build on our hope and faith and
shows God’s love and grace in our lives.
And
the Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness.
For example, we don't know what God wants us to pray for. But the Holy Spirit
prays for us with groanings that cannot be expressed in words. And the
Father who knows all hearts knows what the Spirit is saying, for the Spirit
pleads for us believers in harmony with God's own will. And we know that
God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and
are called according to his purpose for them. (Romans 8:26-28)
Have and awesome day dear friend of Jesus
Cheers
