Proof of God's Love

"Gideon said to God, 'If you will save Israel by my hand as you have promised -- look, I will place a wool fleece on the threshing floor. If there is dew only on the fleece and the ground is dry, then I will know that you will save Israel by my hand, as you said.' "And that is what happened. Gideon rose early the next day; he squeezed the fleece and wrung out the dew -- a bowlful of water" (Judges 6:36-38).

This is a wonderful story and to know God responded to what Gideon suggested as proof of His will for Gideon, and Israel is powerful. But should we put God to the test or require Him to show us a sign of His cooperation in helping us? Definitely not! We should never expect , or challenge God to show us some kind of proof of His will because certainly God is under no obligation to do so.

Without any doubt I believe God listens to our petitions and requests, and He responds to what we pray for. Also, I believe His will and our prayers will many times agree; our prayers will be answered just as we prayed they would be. Still God rules; His will is law. After we have prayed, we may not understand why our prayers weren't answered, but we can be sure God's will for us will always be best for us!

Our proof of God's love for us and His involvement in our lives is Jesus. In (Judges 17:31) it is written; "He has given proof  of this to all men by raising Him from the dead."

Jesus is all the proof I need. He will always be the morning dew on my fleece.

Over the past few years I have been inspired by the Holy Spirit to write what He has given me; many times I was awakened in the middle of the night to write them down. I hope you will take look at these brief messages which can be found in the "sidebar" of this blog under the heading of "BLOG ARCHIVE." There may be something in these that personally speaks to you. I pray there is. Thanks for reading my blog and may God richly bless you.

By His Authority

God has given His authority. God’s plan for authority has been given to His people: authority in the church (1 Peter 5:1-2) which says, “shepherd the flock of God which is among you;” authority in the home (Colossians 3:18-25,) “Wives submit to your own husbands, as is fitting in the Lord, as is fitting in the Lord;” authority in your workplace (Ephesians 6:5-9) “Bondservants, be obedient to those who are your masters…; and authority in civil government (Romans    13:1-7) “Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God….” Authority as planned by God seems awkward and unfitting in today’s societies – not that His plan is inappropriate, certainly this is not true. It is more that people have deviated from God’s plan to what seems more suited to their personal lives for whatever reasons they justify. It is it any wonder we have dysfunctional families, government and na...

God never changes who He is

The popular cry of the people here in America today is for “change.” Yet in some parts of the world there are those who use all means, including terrorism to resist it. There are some people who are determined to leave ancient traditions, and often times, corruptible governments just as they are, and have been for hundreds of thousands of years. Many of these nations do not recognize God. God is always the same; today, tomorrow, and forever. He never changes; this knowledge about Him enables us to have total reliability in Him. His character is as follows: God is omnipotent . All power is His, and nothing is beyond His control. He enforces His perfect will. He is unstoppable by any force in heaven or on earth! God is omnipresent. He is everywhere imaginable and unimaginable all at the same time! No person or place is beyond His presence. Space and time are before Him always. He determines everything for all places and all persons. God is omniscient. All that is happening to all ...
