God Amazes = #3 of 30 Days of God's Promises

I’m amazed by God … daily.

Our marvelous Maker is immeasurably magnificent. He is Jehovah, mighty to save. Nothing is beyond His reach. No problem exceeds His power and mercy.

Yet, God often works through the seemingly insignificant details of our daily lives. How many miracles do we miss, simply because we aren’t paying attention?

The Lord who parted the Red Sea to send His beloved people across to safety may clear impassible ways for us as well. He may move mountains in our paths.

Or He may have already done so.

What are we missing here?

Is God still in the mighty works business? Can the Holy One still stop mere humans in our tracks with a single wave of His hand?

How often do we muse with one another about the good old days, when God stepped into human lives with signs and wonders? Do we believe anymore?

The Mighty One has not changed. In fact, Bible prophecies say He’s just getting revved up for some of the mightiest miracles the world has ever seen.

Step back, and be amazed! God is alive, active, and about to astonish all creation with His glory.

Cure for the Confused - Bible First-Aid from A to Z

Confounded? Confuzzled? Clouded by complexities or complications?

Consider these common-sense concepts from Proverbs:

Keep in tune with wisdom, and think what it means to have common sense. Beg as loud as you can for good common sense. Search for wisdom as you would search for silver or hidden treasure. Then you will understand what it means to respect and to know the Lord God. (Proverbs 2:2-5, CEV)

God can bring clarity, even from clutter, for those who call upon Him. 

Heart of a Ready Writer is participating in the April A to Z Blogging Challenge, with a full month of alphabetically arranged posts in a series titled “Bible first-aid kit from A to Z.” Some readers may even choose to memorize these helpful Scripture verses.

May 25th - The Word's Woman Woman

Today, we complete our Bible readings in the book of Proverbs.

The final portion focuses on the Proverbs 31 woman, the wife of noble character. The Proverbs 31 woman is often cited as the paragon of femininity, productivity and wifely perfection. Certainly, these lines offer a list of ideals for womanhood.

Does Proverbs 31 describe an actual historical woman? Could such a perfect human role model ever exist?

Perusing these lines of Scripture, how should we respond?

Are women to aspire to such feminine ideals? Ought we to feel guilty or ashamed if we do not possess this seemingly unfathomable set of artistic skills, business savvy, boundless energy, perfect parenting results, mutually affirming marital relationship, regional respect and other assets?

Perhaps too frequently, Proverbs 31 has been employed as a proverbial club to enforce others’ agendas upon faithful women. How many wives have been criticized, berated or even beaten for failing to measure up against this biblical standard? Surely, Proverbs 31 offers a tall order for any human being to meet.

Who is the wife of noble character?

Maybe the Proverbs 31 woman is really a parcel of potential that may be collectively available to the faithful. Could it be that we might find these capabilities in fellowship with one another? After all, if the Church is the Bride of Christ (see Revelation 19:7), perhaps the Lord is building His own wife of noble character, in His own time and His own power.

Hallelujah. May the Lord’s grace free us from guilt and shame, once again, as we lean upon Him. His favor is free to those He has forgiven, and His forgiveness is available to all who will ask. Praise the Lord for paying the price for our failures.

He alone is worthy.

Will you pray with me?

Holy God,

You have promised

To prepare us

For Your coming.

We look to You.

We eagerly await

The day

When Your trumpet shall sound,

For the marriage supper

Of the Lamb of God.

Purify us.

Make us ready

To meet You

As Your spotless Bride.

Till then,

Continue to grow us

Into Your image,

And equip us

For all You have called us to do.

We praise You

For buying our freedom

From guilt and shame.

We are unworthy,

But You are more than worthy.

Hallelujah.

Amen.
