I was glad
when they said unto me, “Let us go into the house of the Lord.” Out of all the scriptures that I recall as a
child, Psalms 122:1 is the verse I that has seared its way into my heart.
Rising up
early Sunday morning getting ready for church wasn’t always fun admittedly,
however, because of the faithfulness of my grandmother, it was a “Must Do” in
her home. Yes, no matter what you did on
Saturday, how late you finish whatever it was that you were doing, you were
going to church on Sunday!
To be
honest, I’m so very glad that this was an enforced practice!
Older now, I
can understand and appreciate what my grandmother was instilling into my brother,
sister and I. She held on to the
promises of God and truly believed just what God said in His Word; “Train up a
child in the way they should go……..” Proverbs 22:6…. “Believe on the Lord Jesus
Christ, and thou shall be saved, and the house” Acts 16:31.
Although my
siblings and I may have gotten off course a time or two, because of grandma’s
faithfulness and trust in the Lord and His Word, we found our way back into the
fold.
Many today,
including myself, have love one’s who haven’t surrendered their lives over to
the Lord. Regardless of anyone approach
in ministering, prayer or constant hope, those we have been believing for still
haven’t accepted salvation, adamantly they refuse to accept such a wonderful
gift.
Although we
may witness such rebellion and pride, let us still take hold of God’s
promises. God is faithful and His
Mercies endure forever.
“Moreover whom
He did predestinate, them He also called: and whom He justified, them he also
glorified.” Romans 8:30.
May we all
continue in the Faith as we patiently wait for Gods unmerited favor, long
suffering and grace to appear to those we love and desire to receive Salvation! Blessing to all and Always Stay
Encouraged!
