BEHOLD WHAT MANNER OF LOVE.

“As a shepherd looks after his scattered flock when he is with them, so will I look after my sheep. I will rescue them from all the places where they were scattered on a day of clouds and darkness.” Ezekiel 34:12
God is our rescuer. This fact is as sure as His name. In an opening sea of life, when life makes us panic, we are only encouraged to turn from the rolling waves to God. Behold what manner of love?
When life or people threatened to pull you under, as children of God and believers in Christ, we know we have a rescuer. This text originally was for the children of Israel when they were in exile. They don’t just feel abandoned, but were really abandoned by all that were supposed to be of help humanly to them. This same God that went to them even when all hope seems lost, that God that looked beyond their unfaithfulness, that God who is the same yesterday and today and will never change, that God that helped them is reassuring us that He will rescue us. He said He will place us in a ladder so high that we will behold His love and peace; that peace that transcends our human understanding.
It is a fact that we must relate with, we must relate with this reality with all joy and happiness. Behold what manner of love? When you feel panicked, what is your typical reaction? What problem can you release today to God who is our loving rescuer? What do we need to do, we should hold fast to Almighty God and His promises; It is a reliable and saving promise worth holding tightly. As much as we desire to be rescued by God, we should also know that He is a holy God and will not be comfortable touching a person riddle with dirt of sin. We should live an obedient life to be an apple of His eyes. The children of Israel in our text were allowed to be taken to captivity because they took the love of God for granted. May we find in Him a refuge so sure and respond in absolute surrender and obedience to Him. May we respond to His rescuing arm in righteousness and enjoy the warmth of His love. Behold what manner of love?

BEHOLD WHAT MANNER OF LOVE

“Before they call I will answer; while they are still speaking I will hear.” Isaiah 65:24
Before you even ask! What a sublime word that soothes a weary soul, heal broken bones and shattered hope. If it is coming from a mortal that is here now and will not be tomorrow- we will be sceptical, but it is from a loving eternal God. Behold what manner of Love?
It is comforting and warm that God knows and cares for us even more than any person we know and love. When prophet Isaiah described the relationship between God and His people in the coming kingdom, he describes a tender and intimate relationship. God said about His people- “before they call I will answer and while they yet speak I will hear.”
As we grow on a daily basis into Him; may His love compel and enlightens us to come to terms with His timing and learn to trust in His loving care and set time. We may be praying for a particular need now and feel they are left unattended to by God, but He is not unmindful of our desires that are legitimate and for the advancement of His glory.
Our honest prayers should be that; Lord transform my heart in your love that I will want what you want.
Behold what manner of love that God answer our call and hear us while we speak. May we not take that love for granted, but respond appropriately. Behold what manner of love?
