Psalm 48:14
For this God is our God forever and ever; He will be our guide [even] until death.
This verse is the perfect verse to reflect on as Christmas comes to a close.
The Lord sent His Son to us.
He sent Him to this world as a babe.
Jesus was given the task of growing up.
A difficult one for all of us.
He endured the awkward stages we all go through as we grow past them.
I look back at old picture and cringe, yes, I cringe.
This life provides plenty of opportunities to feel awkward and just plain weird, but our Father loves us as though we are perfect every day of our lives.
This is why Jesus came.
He came to make us perfect in God’s sight.
He came to serve.
He came to teach.
He carried the whole world in His hands as He was born, died, and was resurrected.
He lived thirty years before His ministry began, and sometimes I wonder what He thought about during those thirty years.
We won’t know until we meet Him in His holy kingdom.
What we do know, is what our verse tells us.
The Lord our God “will be our guide [even] until death.”
We can take solace in knowing the Lord will lead us through this life.
There is no question that the Great I AM guided His Son, Jesus.
We are fortunate that the same Great I AM guides us through our lives as well.
Let us be grateful the Lord considers us worthy to receive His guidance just as He gave His Son guidance over two thousand years ago.
Our verse says, “For this God is our God forever and ever.”
Daily Prayer:
O Lord, thank You for guiding us through this life. Thank You for Your continued care over us, Your provision and protection. As the worries of this world try and overtake our minds and steal our peace, Your Spirit reminds us You will always be with us. Thank You, Lord, for bringing us close to You through the birth, death, and resurrection of Your Son. Thank You for allowing us to sit in Your presence. May we see You working out every detail of our lives as we keep our focus on You. Don’t let us miss You, Lord. Help us follow Your daily leading and guidance. Help us bless someone this day. Thank You for hearing our prayer.
