God Is Still Very Active In The World Today

                                                             When The Door Slams

And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to Him must believe that He exits and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him.                                                                                                                            Hebrews 11:6

        You can believe in God yet lack faith that He cares enough to respond to your heartfelt  prayers. Many men believe that God exists and sent His Son to die for their sins; they even concede that God answered prayers in old Bible times, but they have little faith the God still do. They have been disappointed when past prayers were not answered, and this has led them to believe that God don't involve Himself with people today except in truly unusual circumstances. 

        Many men and women basically believe that God has already done about as much as He is ever going to do, and that from here on, it is up to people to work hard, seize opportunities, and take care of themselves. It is a small wonder that they don't bother to spend much time in prayer! There is no surprise that they end up thinking that they can pretty much manage life without God's help. They believe this is the way.  

        It is true that God expects you to work hard to provide for yourself and your family and God expects you to think hard to solve many of your problems, but God is still very active in the world. He still helps the helpless. And still helps ordinary people who find themselves in unexpected difficulties. Yes, God cares. And yes, God still responds to those who earnestly and truly seek Him. But you have to continually seek Him and don't give up.

        Think about this: Psalm 145:8-9 makes this promise: "The LORD is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and rich in love. The LORD is good to all; He has compassion on all He has made" (NIV). As God's children, we are blessed beyond measure, but sometimes we are slow to count our gifts and even slower to give thanks to the Giver.

        Our blessings include life and health, family and friends, freedom and possessions. And the gifts we receive from God are multiplied when we share them with others, May we always give thanks to God for our blessing, and may we always demonstrate our gratitude by sharing them . 

        Intercession: Salvation belongs to the LORD. May Your blessing be on Your people (Psalm 3:8). The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit are with us (2 Corinthians 13:14). Blessed be the LORD forever! Amen and Amen (Psalm 89:52). 

Ask the Holy Spirit to search your heart and reveal any areas of unconfessed sin. Acknowledge these to the LORD and thank Him for His forgiveness.
