The Pre-Incarnate Christ - Micah 5:2 - Whose goings forth have been from of old - from Everlasting
Matthew 16: 9,10 HE is going in a different direction but HE mentions as a reminder , feeding the THOUSANDS with just a few bread and fish and also the overflow that filled baskets - then HE asks this question in verse 15 -- "Whom say ye that I am ?"
TAKE HEART PILGRIMS -- for THIS CHRIST IS "THE CHRIST" WHOSE GOINGS FORTH HAVE BEEN FROM EVERLASTING - THE ABUNDANT LIFE , THE LIVING WATER,
able to DO --ABUNDANTLY MORE THAN WE ASK OR EVEN THINK --
There are Christians all over the world in so many different situations and THIS CHRIST is for us ------- A SHELTER - A SAFE HAVEN --- we have ABUNDANT LIFE IN CHRIST -- trials will come, this is part of the great design , allowed of GOD but HE PROMISED to be with us --
"Encouraging one another as the day approaches"
"The Lord's our Rock, in Him we hide,
ReplyDeleteA Shelter in the time of storm;
Secure whatever ill betide,
A Shelter in the time of storm.
A shade by day, defense by night,
A Shelter in the time of storm;
No fears alarm, no foes afright,
A Shelter in the time of storm."
The raging storms may round us beat,
A Shelter in the time of storm;
We'll never leave our safe retreat,
A Shelter in the time of storm.
Oh Rock divine, oh Refuge dear,
A Shelter in the time of storm;
Be Thou our Helper, ever near,
A Shelter in the time of storm.
Oh Jesus is the Rock in a weary land,
A weray land, a weary land;
O Jesus is the Rock in a weary land,
A Shelter in the time of storm.
