Madd love

I read two things this morning that made sense and were one more evidence of the madd love that God has for me…and you.

The first was based on Psalm 33:13;

The LORD looks down from heaven, he sees all the sons of men; (RSV).

Sees us for what? (My thoughts, my questions). Everything my friends, everything. He’s looking at that your situation and the only reason why you haven’t seen his hands is cos you haven’t looked hard enough. The attached commentary to the verse had this to say amongst other things:

“…Thy sigh is able to move the heart of Jehovah; thy whisper can incline His ear unto thee; thy prayer can stay His hand; thy faith can move His arm…”.

The question I now ask myself… and you is, “What are you showing Him that is seeing you?”. Sin? Love? Gratitude? The choice is yours.

The second thing I read was about faith. It was taken from 1 Kings 18:43:

And he said to his servant, "Go up now, look toward the sea." And he went up and looked, and said, "There is nothing." And he said, "Go again seven times." (RSV)

but you might have to read the whole story to get the flow. It was basically Elijah telling his servant to go check for rain clouds when it hadn’t rained for 3 years, the servant came back each time, reporting that clouds weren’t there and Elijah kept sending him back. What touched me most was this statement from the attached commentary:

…So far from being crushed by repeated disappointment, faith is animated to plead more fervently with her God. She is humbled, but not abashed: her groans are deeper, and her sighings more vehement, but she never relaxes her hold or stays her hand. It would be more agreeable to flesh and blood to have a speedy answer, but believing souls have learned to be submissive, and to find it good to wait for as well as upon the Lord…

I hope you’ve been blessed. Have a great day.
