HE STILL CAME
Dear Lord, thank you for loving us. You are our Daddy, Abba, Father. We love you so much, Father, and we thank you that we can come boldly before your throne of GRACE. HE STILL CAME. No palace, no jew’ls, no kingdom to rule, no crown of majesty. No throne and no robe, no silver, no gold, no courts of royalty. Yet the King of kings left heaven to become a lowly man. He left all heaven’s glory to fulfill His Father’s plan.
[2Pe 1:21 KJV] 21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake [as they were] moved by the Holy Ghost.
[Jhn 6:35 KJV] 35 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.
[Jhn 14:1 KJV] 1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
HE STILL CAME
Thank you, Jesus, for coming to earth for ME. What a powerful statement! As I typed that statement, Psalm 23 came to my remembrance:
[Psa 23:1-6 KJV] 1 [[A Psalm of David.]] The LORD [is] my shepherd; I shall not want. 2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. 3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. 4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou [art] with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. 5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. 6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
Notice how many times MY, I, Me are used. IT IS PERSONAL to ME!
- No fam’ly, no friends to help at the end, no out, no substitute.
- Much pain and much hurt to give love and worth, He bore our sins and grief.
- Yet the hope of what He offered so outweighed what must be done.
MY VICTOR
- He chose to be my victor and assured my pardon won.
- He still came just for me He still came
- Knowing all He would endure
- Disregarding ev’ry cost, from the manger to the cross.
THANK YOU
Dear Lord, we thank YOU for coming to earth for US; You did it out of obedience to the Father and Your great LOVE for us. As we reflect on this song and Psalm 23 today, let’s give thanks with a grateful heart for all that HE HAS DONE FOR US. He knew from the start the pain he would endure, but HE DID IT ANYWAY. When we count the cost of what HE DID FOR US, it is priceless; more precious and valuable than all the silver and gold on this earth.
PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER because JESUS prayed for us!
In the POWER and AUTHORITY in Jesus name. Hallelujah and Amen!
