FAITHFULL GOD
Luke 23:39-49

God is a faithful God, and He has never promised something and not seen it through. What He says He would do, is done before He says it. God is not a man that would lie; neither is He a slave master that He would force His commands on His creation. When God gives His word or commands it is left for His children to follow or not to follow. The consequences of following or not following will catch up with His children. Jeremiah 29:11, “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.” This is a testimony of the One and only living God, the God that cares for His children. The statement is not a command, neither is it a law. The statement is information that will bring transformation into the life of any believer in the word of His grace. If any should get connected in understanding, and have knowledge of the One that knows the future from today, then the promise becomes an expectation for the deliverance onto the salvation of God. However, if there is any that lack knowledge, or choose not to know God, there is so much to lose. Proverbs 4:7, “Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding.” How are you taking, or treating, the word of God that constantly comes in your direction? Remember, the word will not force itself on you, but you are to let the word have its way so it may deliver lead you into God’s purpose for your life. Here is the scenario of two that responded by what they know of the One that knows what the future holds for every man under heaven, “Then one of the criminals who were hanged blasphemed Him, saying, “If You are the Christ, save Yourself and us.” 40 But the other, answering, rebuked him, saying, “Do you not even fear God, seeing you are under the same condemnation? (Luke 23:39-40) The one that knows how to seriously take what he knows about the One, that knows all things conversed with Jesus, “Then he said to Jesus, “Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom.”” (Luke 39:42) Having knowledge of information that is of peace, and not of evil, will generate expectations that bring forth manifestation. It is also a demonstration of understanding the God that is all-powerful, that holds the future in His hands. Jesus responded to the man that knows what Jesus knows about the future, “And Jesus said to him, “Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.” (Luke 23:43) Do you know that He knows about your future, and the goods that the future holds for His children? Be ready at all times, every day, and moment, and live life as one that knows that is worth living for His knowing.
Prayer for today: Fill me O Lord with the knowledge of your word in all wisdom and spiritual understanding.
