God Will Never Leave You!
Do you feel alone? Was the last person you talked to not enough to help fill in a void in you?
As believers we tend to run into a period in our walk with God where we feel nobody and no nothing can help us. We call our friends and hope they will entertain or just make us feel better. We don't walk by feelings but by faith however sometimes we just feel like there is no one around. Friends are just at our fingertips if needed, family is open any time, but even than being in church surrounded by people daily, you can feel alone. The workplace is full of chatter and everyone seems to be having a good time but.....you.
Hebrews 13:5 says "...I will never leave you nor forsake you." Jesus, your savior, your friend, your father, will never leave you. Maybe these feelings we have at times are your Masters call to come spend some time with Him. Maybe he puts up a curtain so that you won't find your joy in others but Him. There is nothing wrong with fellowship and God created us to be social but this can be a tugging for a moment to talk to your God. God has feelings also. He loves us. He has compassion on us. He cares for us. He knows our pains and what we faced because he faced the same things here on earth. Hebrews 4:15-16 tells us he was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. So let us come boldly to the throne of grace so we can obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need. Do you see what God did for us? He went through everything even rejection from His father on the cross so that when we feel rejected we can come to him and get help. Is that not an awesome Master we have, who allows us to come to him no matter how we feel and get a touch from Him? He promises that he has never left you, even when your friend, spouse, family, co-workers, or anyone else has. Talk to your God, he wants to talk back to you.
Want to go deeper?
Most of us can picture our walk of faith as we grow in the natural. We say that we are infants when born again then grow to be adolescents as we grow in Christ, and we grow until the image of Christ is made in us, if not here than in Heaven. In the natural we get sick so we apply that to the spiritual. Also we believe there are cripples in the spiritual just as in the natural.
What is the Christian's attitude toward sin?
The attitude of Christian toward sin is the same as God's. God hates sin and loves righteousness.
Heb 1:8-9...Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity;
A Christian should hate sin and love righteousness also. Why? God puts His nature into the heart of a man who accepts Christ's shed blood for personal forgiveness from sin. A believer receives Christ within. The affections of a believer are not he same as a sinners affections. The desires of a believer are not the same as a sinner's desires. The actions of a believer are not the same sinner's actions. The character and make-up of a man who trusts Christ...is morally changed by the Grace of God.
