We are His. God is Ours. God is Our True Love
Almighty God is our true dwelling place. We love Him above all others.
Reflection. Our Heavenly Father has a great vision. Almighty God has a divine plan for you and me.
Scripture Reading: In Him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of Him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of His will. (Ephesians 1:11, NIV)
Ephesians 1:11 is a verse from the Bible. According to the apostle Paul, “we were allotted to” God, meaning we were made to be God’s lot or portion 1. The verse emphasizes that the reason we have an inheritance in Christ is that we have “been predestined according to His purpose who works all things after the counsel of His will” 2. The inheritance of believers results in the glory of God 3. The verse is interpreted to mean that believers have obtained an inheritance in Christ, which is the incorruptible and eternal inheritance of glory and happiness in Heaven 4. (Bing, 20/082024)
What is meant by Almighty God is our portion?
King David referred to Almighty God as his portion, “The LORD is my chosen portion and my cup; You hold my lot” (Psalm 16:5, NIV.) When we refer to Almighty God as our allotment or portion. We believe God is our heavenly provider. Our Heavenly Father reads our hearts. God sees the deepest of our needs. Our Heavenly Father provides out of His bounty. Through His unceasing love, God grants us all we ever shall require of Him. In His right hand, we are held. God Almighty And His love fulfils and satisfies our hearts and souls.
We journey our path of faith with confidence and courage. As we travel on our path of faith and love for God Almighty. Facing each obstacle along our way. Believing we are fully equipped. Believing God indeed provides for each hurdle we may face. As we face life’s trials. God lifts us with His hand. God’s peace comforts and soothes away all troubles. This is achieved by placing our faith and trust in Almighty God. And in God alone we trust.
On our spiritual journey. We have deep and intimate needs. You and I have needs that only Almighty God knows. All faithful and trusting believers have needs that only Almighty God can fulfil. As we travel along life’s path we come at crossroads. At these times it is only God’s wisdom that can show us the way Home. At these crossroads. We fall onto our knees before the heavenly throne. At these times of confusion and uncertainty. We turn to the One who is our provider. In these times of uncertainty. We pray to the One who fills our cup with His wisdom. We turn to God’s Holy Word for our empty cup to be filled once more with His knowledge.
It is God Almighty. It is God alone who satisfies our spiritual needs. It is the Almighty One who provides for our deepest needs. When we place our absolute trust and faith in God. All spiritual needs are fulfilled and satisfied. Our life of faith is fulfilled. Our path to Heaven is straight and true.
Each morning is seen as an opportunity to show our thankfulness to Almighty God.
Scripture Reading: O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good: for his mercy endureth forever.
O give thanks unto the God of gods: for his mercy endureth forever. (Psalm 136:1–2, KJV)
The sun creeps in between the slips in our curtains. As if God Himself is saying, “Good morning, my beloved. Another glorious day. Rise and begin a day with Me.” As our eyes and hearts start our brand-new day. Our first thoughts and first words are a silent prayer of thankfulness. For all that God our Heavenly Father has blessed us with.
We reach out and take our beloved Bible. We feel once more the familiar texture of its leather cover and see the familiar gold edging of its pages. With a silent prayer to God, the Holy Spirit. We trust God to let it fall open to the pages He wants our hearts to read and learn from. We spend a little time reading, meditating on and memorizing God’s Word.
We once more fill our hearts with the knowledge and wisdom of God Almighty. The tools needed to fight the forces of darkness. We learned from times such as this wisdom to see us through. Lessons to carry us through on our spiritual journey. In the Holy Word of God. Are the knowledge and wisdom needed to guide us Home? All the lessons, commandments and instructions needed to guide us to the Kingdom of God are in His Word. God Himself wrote the Bible. With His finger, God wrote each word, book and chapter. With His finger, dipped in the precious ink of God’s unceasing love. God wrote His Word. To educate and provide. God wrote His Holy Word.
In God Almighty, we find and remain in eternal life and have everlasting hope. Through the saving grace of Jesus Christ. God’s beloved Son we gained eternal life. Through the precious blood of the perfect Lamb of God. We were washed clean. We gained eternal life through Christ Jesus. In Jesus Christ, we have hope for eternal life in Paradise with Almighty God.
This is our true reward. Eternal life with Almighty God and His beloved Son Jesus. In the Heavenly Kingdom for eternity.
As we walk daily with our Lord and God. We sing our praises.
- For we acknowledge without Him we are nothing. We sing our praises.
- For with Almighty God, the forces of darkness hold no shame. We sing our praises.
- For with Almighty God, death holds no fear. We sing our praises.
- For with Almighty God, all provision is granted. We sing our praises.
- For with Almighty God, each day is an opportunity to serve Him. We sing our praises.
- For with Almighty God, we fulfil His Holy purpose and plan. We sing our praises.
Nathan Pacheco sings to the Almighty God of his love. Even though the words are not in a language we understand. Our hearts soar to Heaven.
This 8th-century Irish hymn was originally translated by Eleanor Hull in 1912. The version that we hear today is sung to the famed Irish folk tune ‘Slane.’
As he stands in a church, surrounded by beautiful stained-glass windows, you can truly feel the weight of these words. When we feel lost, let God be our eyes and He will always guide us to His light. What a blessing to hear this Irish hymn performed in this classical way. (NathanPachecoMusic)
