March 9 “Seek and You WILL Find” 1 Corinthians 2:9
Good morning from Pastor Glen Brock, Baptist Tabernacle Church, Wendell, North Carolina… “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him.” (1 Corinthians 2:9)
When I observe the actions of this world and the individuals that are searching for beauty and meaning in the dark and decaying worldly existence, I am so encouraged by the redeeming Grace of my God! People are searching and their eyes are open, and their ears are tuned, and their hearts are longing, yet when the answer, the real and true answer, is presented, they doubt and run. A dear brother was sharing a story about a young man that was searching for some light into his dark world, and my friend shared the “Light and Love” of Jesus with him, and he walked away, refusing to believe that this could be true, yet he searches among the “self-help” books and the knowledge of humans, in order to satisfy his longing for understanding. Since Adam and the original sin, man has been in the grip of Satan and living in the darkness that sin brings to our existence. Because of the love that God has for His Creation (each one of us) and His desire for our relationship to be re-established, He sent Jesus as the one, true, and final blood sacrifice for our sins, and when we, by faith, believe, confess our sinfulness, and receive the saving Grace of God, we are privileged to experience the unveiling of God Bright and transforming Light. He unplugs our ears, and He allows us to see clearly, His Great Love and His Limitless Power and Provision for our Lives! Receiving the Grace of God and His transforming and Saving Power, ignites, within our souls, the Hope and Joy and Power that we seek! Praise God! Because of His Grace and because of His act at Calvary, we can live in the radiant light of His Salvation, and we can bring that Light into the lives of others! Through Jesus, Our Eyes are Opened, and Our Ears can Hear, and our hearts are full of the Grace of Almighty God! I pray that you will allow God to unveil His Grace in you and be that Bright Light in this Dark and Decaying Sinful World! Stay Strong, Stay Focused…THE BEST IS YET TO BE! REMEMBER THIS FACT: “Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” (Acts 4:12) The Solution to the Problems that exist, for us, is a Saving Relationship with JESUS CHRIST! No One, or No Other Thing… Just JESUS!
