In His Presence of the Lord

It seems amazing that humanity spends the better part of life on this side of Zion trying to find fulfillment for and in itself. It's sought out in art, science, sex, drugs, pets and more. Not that there's anything wrong with art, science, pets, or sex for that matter. But more to the fact that they should be sought, explored, and even appreciated through the lens of the King we serve - the Author and Finisher of our faith Jesus the Christ. It is He who indeed knows the plans He has for us - to prosper us and not to harm us to give us a future and a hope. Jeremiah 23:19

Seems everybody is so enamored with "the Next Big Thing!" Yet seldom do we stop to think that nothing compares to the wonderful, marvelous, amazing, and awesome God of the universe from whom every good and perfect gift comes. James 1:17  If ever there was a big thing, the Ultimate Big Thing is God! And everything that comes forth from the mind of God is not only big, it is magnanimous! It's beyond our understanding!

God thought about this Earth - this planet on which we live, caused it to come into fruition by the power of His Word, and declared its very goodness. Gen. 1:31  Thus identifying His creation as a "very big thing." God thought about us - humanity- You and I! Most of all God thought about knowing and allowing us to know God! That's "THE Big Thing!" - a relationship with the King that still has you on His mind - Jesus the Christ. He is our Greatest Joy, because Jesus is the one who stepped away from His royal throne, condescended Himself to humanity for humanity to reconcile us with divinity! Phil. 2:5-6

My prayer is that all who read this missive will come to know the Greatest Joy known to mankind - Jesus the Christ. If you don't know that Joy, and you're ready to know Him. Click here to continue the journey.

The Joy that satisfies every need and every desire is found in the presence of the Lord. Psalms 16:11

In His Presence,

Pastor Emery
