Holy Spirit fill our hearts and minds with understanding of the God-breathed Words of Holy Scripture.
Dr. D. Jeremiah reported that – “More books written by atheists have appeared on the Best Seller List in recent years than ever since there was such a list. Also that 40% of suitcase bombs can’t be accounted for and could be anywhere in the world. A newspaper headline in a particular country, warned that World War 3 is about to happen because so many nuclear weapons are at the ready”.
Be assured that no atheistic writing will ever weaken, damage or destroy the eternal truth of the Bible. No military force, no weapon, however powerful, will ever blast God’s Sovereign, controlling authority out of any part of His universe. Listen to what the Lord says (Isaiah 43:12-13) I have declared the future. I will work and who can hinder or reverse it? Just in case you need more assurance, hear the Words of Jesus. You will hear of wars and rumours of wars but don’t be troubled because (Matthew 24:6) all these things must happen before the end. Of course, we’ll have tribulations etc. in this fallen world but we have one rock-solid, pure-gold, peace-filled certainty which tops everything and it is that (John 16:33) Jesus has overcome the world.
In this world, in the midst of chaos – NO FEAR. What about in my little world? In the midst of uncertainty – NO FEAR. Wrap yourself in the safety and security of these Words from our unchanging God. You are precious in My sight (Isaiah 43:4) and I love you. See what quality of love (1 John 3:1) the Father has bestowed on us and will He not (Romans 8:32) with His Son freely and graciously give us all things?
Jesus can (Exodus 14:21-22) part the waters or (Matthew 14:25) He can walk on them. Our problems are God’s opportunities and by our obedience we can invite Him to fill those opportunities with His purpose and His glory. There can be uncertainty in the life of an obedient, trusting child, who has a loving Father. We don’t know what the next hour will bring, let alone (James 4:14) a day. Every uncertainty is a gateway to God-honouring faith.
In the midst of chaos and uncertainty let us seek the Lord and ask Him for (Isaiah 45:3) the treasures of darkness and the hidden riches of secret places. In the secret place (Matthew 6:6) of prayer alone with God, He can reveal to us what is in His heart. Prayer is the hidden riches of heart-to-heart communication with the Triune God. Holy, royal privilege.
I believe we can continually receive the treasures of darkness as the Holy Spirit unfolds to our hearts and minds the understanding of those deeper riches of God’s Word, which had previously been dark to our understanding. This discovery of spiritual wealth will continue as the Almighty Teacher, the Holy Spirit, fills our hearts and minds with understanding of the God-breathed Words of Holy Scripture. The evidence of how rich we desire to be is revealed by the amount of time we are willing to invest. So that in every thought, word and deed, the Holy Spirit can be reproducing in us and through us the sweet fragrance of Jesus.
