Reflections in the Water

Proverbs 27:19, "As water reflects a face, so a man's heart reflects the man".

As you peer into the waters of your life, what reflections do you see?  Do you see a face that radiates the love of God, or one that is lonely and confused?  Maybe you see a raging ocean of doubt in front of you.  When you consider that He created the heavens; the moon and stars that He set in place---how could He be mindful of you?

Are you thinking---I want to get started and not wait one more day---I don't want to look back and say, "What if I had given Him everything?".  But storms of doubt cloud your mind.  Just call on His great name, and like sunlight shining through---He will rend the heavens and come down and lift you up for He has never forsaken those who seek Him.  Since ancient times no one has heard, no ear has perceived, no eye has seen any God but ours, who will act on behalf of you if you wait for Him.

You can know for sure that Jesus has gone into heaven and is at God's right hand---with angels, authorities and powers in submission to Him.  If you speak, you should do it as one speaking the very words of Christ---if you serve, do it with the strength God provides.

You must humble yourself under God's mighty hand, so He may lift you up in due time.  Cast all your anxieties on Him because He cares for you.

Be self-controlled and alert---for your enemy, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour, so resist in faith.  The Lord your God will restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.

Jesus is the one you should turn to---for He gives us the grace our hearts always hunger for.  Jesus our almighty infinite Savior rescued the souls of men.

So let the waters rise, He will be right next to you---He is always within reach and knows your fears.

Now as you look at your reflection in the water, your face will radiate the love of Jesus---and your heart will reflect the desire to be with Him.

Set your heart on heavenly things, and others will see the same---
