But
seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be
added to you. Matthew 6:33. God is good to those who seek Him—seek Him
first. One of my granddaughters asked me the other day what it means when we
say God Bless You? What is a blessing? God’s favor and
protection. Often when someone says “God Bless You” it is a plea for God’s
healing touch.
Working out their salvation…Dear friends, you always followed my
instructions when I was with you. And now that I am away, it is even more
important. Work hard to show the results of your salvation, obeying God with
deep reverence and fear. For God is working in you, giving you the desire and
the power to do what pleases him. Philippians 2:12-13 NLT. As we wait for
the return of the Lord, our salvation, Jeremiah, the author of Lamentations,
tells us that we need to wait silently. That is hard to do—to be silent.
Usually if we are filled with the joy of our salvation, we want to go tell it
on the mountains. But…silently—quietly. That is a good plan, too. Some people respond
best to be approached quietly, respectfully with the knowledge of salvation. No
shouting in their faces. Live your salvation quietly before others. Wait. Wait for the Lord; be strong and let your
heart take courage; Yes, wait for the Lord. Psalm 27:14.
Prayer
~ Holy Spirit—I rejoice in Your love and salvation—and I wait quietly.
