OzThoughts. Wednesday 8th October 2008.

The Gold Coast Temple has recently been repainted and the inspirational Bible texts on the back wall were missing for some weeks. Again as we gather for worship, we are confronted with the words:

“With God… all things are possible. Mark 10:27”

There is comfort in the words because we know God is in control of our situation.
There is challenge in the words because they encourage us to step out beyond the things we would normally do.
There is a choice that needs to be made. The possibilities are there through God. We must make the choice to be with him.
There is confession that we need to make as God is a God of forgiveness who can forgive every sin.
There is commitment as all things are only possible if and when we are with God. We need to be linked to him and that demands commitment.
There is communion in being with God. We commune as friend to friend.
There is contentment in being with God knowing he supplies our needs.

PRAYER:

Heavenly Father, I thank you for all the possibilities I face today. I pray that I will enjoy the walk I choose to make with you today. Amen.

How wonderful it is to walk with God
Along the road that holy men have trod;
How wonderful it is to hear him say:
Fear not, have faith, 'tis I who lead the way!

How wonderful it is to talk with God
When cares sweep o'er my spirit like a flood;
How wonderful it is to hear his voice,
For when he speaks the desert lands rejoice!

How wonderful it is to praise my God,
Who comforts and protects me with his rod;
How wonderful to praise him every hour,
My heart attuned to sing his wondrous power!

How wonderful it is to fight for God,
And point poor sinners to the precious blood;
How wonderful it is to wield his sword
'Gainst sin, the enemy of Christ, my Lord!

How wonderful 'twill be to live with God
When I have crossed death's deep and swelling flood;
How wonderful to see him face to face
When I have fought the fight and won the race!
