THE LOVING PRESENCE OF GOD OUR FATHER

THE LOVING PRESENCE OF
GOD OUR FATHER


Today we read about Jesus
Being SENT into the wilderness
For 40 days and being TEMPTED
By Satan=while he was AMONG
The wild beasts


But also there was GOD'S ANGELS
To ADMINISTER to him


When our faith is CHALLENGED=we
Are in a DESERT=but we are NEVER
Tempted beyond our ability
To resist


The LOVING PRESENCE of God
The FATHER=and his ANGELS
Are always with us


“Jesus was among wild beasts=and=
The ANGELS ministered to him” Mark 1:13


And OUR angels=often times in the
Form of OTHER PEOPLE=are there
For us


I can speak of experience=where
FAMILY MEMBERS and FRIENDS have stepped
UP to help me=so many many times


“For he will command
His ANGELS=
Concerning you


To GUARD you
In all your ways” Psalm 91:11


“The weeds are the people
Of the evil one


And the enemy who sows them
Is the devil


The HARVEST is at the
END of the age
And the harvesters
Are angels” Matthew 13:39


“And again=when God brings
His firstborn into the world
He says=


'Let ALL GOD'S ANGELS
Worship him'” Hebrews 1:6


The LOVING PRESENCE
Of God the FATHER=often=
In the form of ANGELS


Sometimes=angels disguised
As people


Jesus always FACED his challenges
Head on=throughout his MINISTRY=
All the way to the CROSS


We would do well
To do the SAME


Dear God=Dear Father=please STRENGTHEN
Our FAITH with your LOVING PRESENCE
As we face the CHALLENGES
Of our lives


“BLESSED are those
Who have learned
To acclaim you


Who walk in the LIGHT
Of your PRESENCE=Lord” Psalm 89:15


“How can we THANK GOD
Enough for you


In return for all the JOY
We have in the PRESENCE
Of our GOD=because of you?” 1 Thessalonians 3:9


Dear LOVING FATHER=we thank you
For your LOVING PRESENCE
All the days of our lives


As we FACE our challenges=
With FAITH=
In our own personal deserts


In Jesus' name and in the name of GOD HIS FATHER
