‘Tell me who you are friends with so I can tell you who you are’ postulates an old but full of old saying, bringing us under the magnifying glass of analysis each of us, social beings who are constantly seeking company and acceptance of their peers .
Thus, looking deeper into ourselves, we easily understand that we were created with the instinct to live integrated in larger or smaller groups and not in isolation; A good and beautiful aspect of the human personality, but which applied incorrectly can become devastating, turning into a weapon of spiritual or physical self-destruction and sometimes of mass social destruction.
Reading carefully and diligently the Bible, we notice among its ranks one of the most beautiful aspects of God’s character, namely that of being himself a social person, ready to present himself to others as a most loyal friend.
‘Make friends with God, and you will have peace, rejoicing in happiness again.’ It is one of the most profound counsels recorded in the pages of the Scriptures. Which then continues elegantly: ‘Receive the teaching from His mouth, and put His words into your heart.’ Job 22: 21-22
Thus, contrary to the general impression spread in the world, God is not just a solitary entity projected somewhere far into the universe; Where he fulfills exclusively the role of moral court or supervisor of the whole reality, (as many of us might be tempted to understand), but he is a person full of kindness and compassion for all his friends. In fact, God is now present with you and is waiting with the passion of an eternal Father to entrust you with his care.
Finding a place next to Him will never make you feel alone again because God will be ready at any moment to listen to you and talk to you, to laugh and cry with you or to be your shield and shield in any attempt to Of life.
Wherever you are, learn today to approach the strong; By the Creator and His armies, leaving aside the carefully watched entourage will quickly betray their petty intentions and by which makes you only a mere slave of sin.[/md_text]
[…] Thought of the day:One of the greatest customs of man, is called ‘superficiality’. An unfortunate attitude that benefits in abundance all those who want to keep us submissive and docile to a corrupt system and full of iniquity.Why do I say that? Because superficiality is the factor that will quickly cancel out even the slightest hint of knowledge or correct positioning in reality. We should replace them with the feeling of fear and helplessness that the limp human being feels either naturally or induced by others.Knowing how likely we are to fall prey to this condition, the emissary of wickedness. Satan himself will do his best to show us how small and weak we are, using our colleagues, bosses or why not even some so-called “Christians. ”Which perishes through the Church of the Lord.If you have often fallen into the trap of fear and helplessness, generated by the superficiality with which you treated the reality around you. Remember today that you are a Child of God and that in you dwells a spirit of power, love and Thoughtfulness. It is the Holy Spirit that the Lord Jesus promised before His ascension into heaven, and who will remain with us until the end of the age.Remember, ‘God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.’ 2 Timothy 1: 7So if you are overwhelmed by fear, defeat your primary instinct for weakness and do what you thought was impossible: raise your head and shout the sweet slogan of victory:“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me”Be blessed!Pastor Florin Antonie […]
