 GRACE IN GOD’S GUIDELINES LEADS TO HIS BLESSINGS

Part 2

What do you do when God’s precious creation is totally bent towards so much evil? What do you do when those who should be trusted for our wellbeing, can’t be trusted for our wellbeing??? What do you do when every way you look, you see destruction of every imaginable kind and so much carnage? We FOCUS ON GOD! We look to Him for our salvation. It is God’s grace and guidelines (His word) that blesses us with the peace (Isaiah 26:3) that we need for such a time as this. God’s guidelines (word) in Psalm 37:11-20 (NKJV) encourages us about the chaos that we see day after day in the following manner, 11 “But the meek shall inherit the earth, and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace. 12 The wicked plots against the just, and gnashes at him with his teeth. 13 The LORD laughs at him, for He sees that his day is coming. 14 The wicked have drawn the sword and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, to slay those who are of upright conduct. 15 Their sword shall enter their own heart, and their bows shall be broken. 16 A little that a righteous man has is better than the riches of many wicked. 17 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken, but the LORD upholds the righteous. 18 The LORD knows the days of the upright, and their inheritance shall be forever. 19 They shall not be ashamed in the evil time, and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied. 20 But the wicked shall perish; and the enemies of the LORD, like the splendor of the meadows, shall vanish. Into smoke they shall vanish away.” This is THE GREAT, ALMIGHTY GOD that I know! Another wonderful example of God’s grace can be found in Exodus 14:10-30. This is such a beautiful picture of the blessings that abound when we trust the LORD and allow our lives to be governed by His guidelines. HE IS TRULY AN AWESOME GOD! Thank You, LORD for Your love, mercy and grace in how You provide for us, Your people!
