I am thine Oh Lord! [May 12, 2023 ]
I am thine Oh Lord! [May 12, 2023 ]
I am thine Oh Lord!
Isaiah 43:1
But now thus saith the Lord that created thee, O Jacob, and He that formed thee Oh Israel, Fear not, for I have redeemed you, I have called thee by name thou art are mine.
The verse above clearly states that God calls us His own. “You are mine”
How can you show that you are God’s as a christian? The bible says in Matthew 5:16 that
Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven.
According to the verse above you must let your light shine by doing good works:
– Giving to the poor and needy
– Sharing your possessions with those who need them
– Visiting the sick and those in prison and sharing the gospel, food , medications etc.
Scripture says in Matthew 25:31-40
..when I was hungry you gave me to eat, when I was thirty you gave me to drink…..as you did it to the least of your brethren you did it for me ( paraphrased)
Ephesians 2:10
For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them
This verse from the new testament also says God created us for good works.
As an ambassador of Christ you must make provision for giving to those in need in your budget each month. It does not have to be a huge amount. Give as you can
God be with you
How can I apply the word to my life?
1. Apply the word of God in your life everyday. If it says give you give. Study the word you study the word. Pray without ceasing, you do so.
Prayer
Let this song be your prayer
I am thine Oh
Take my life I pray
Every hour of the day
Make me shine for thee
Make me live for thee
Take my heart, take my mind
Take my all
Take me
Amen
