It came at a time of discouragement, spiritual dullness – and, I have to admit, smarting a little – after realisation of the answer of ‘no’ to a prayer request which turned out not to be in the will of God. Thankfully I was not left unattended to my own devices! Instead, by the grace of God, I was lead to read the letter to the Colossian believers and there it came – an unexpected blessing and good comfort as I read the words:
‘Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved..’ (Colossians 3:12 underlined for emphasis).
It was as though the Holy Spirit impressed this on my heart, just for me, re-assuring me that by the grace of God the Father through faith in His Son Yeshua, I am chosen, set apart for and by Him and loved. It was with grateful thankfulness for this “light” that my heart was drawn to a fresh time seeking His presence in prayer.
Glory to Almighty God, my Help and Helper who is helping me, always.
May you too be helped by His truth, word and Spirit in Messiah Yeshua the Lord as you consider those words underlined above.
God bless you.
