Gospel Reflections #519: The Word of the Lord

Psalm 12:6,7 6 And the words of the Lord are flawless, like silver purified in a crucible, like gold refined seven times. 7 You, Lord, will keep the needy safe and will protect us forever from the wicked,

No matter how circumstances change, the Word of the Lord and His promises never change. The Lord's words are perfect and complete. It is therefore a word worth believing and entrusting to us.

We may become anxious or fearful because of our circumstances, fretting as if God is not present.

But when we do, we naturally turn to the Lord for help. We are assured that our God will never abandon us or forsake us, and we are convinced of His promises.

Even though we are faithful and sincere toward God, the path of sincerity and faithfulness is not a road without obstacles. But we recognize the call to prayer in every difficulty.

When we seek by faith the promised blessings, all other blessings are given one after another.

God, through the Holy Spirit, works in His people to cause their requests to arise and come to pass.

All we can do is express our willingness to surrender, to surrender our souls to be guided and controlled by a heavenly power.

The power of God is waiting for us to seek and receive!

Being connected to Christ is a life of constant reception of the Holy Spirit, a life of unconditional submission to His service.

When we live by faith in the Son of God, the fruit of the Holy Spirit will be present in our lives and will never be lost.
