He Got Your Back

The Almighty God cannot be swayed by mortal men. He knows the end from the beginning. The intention of our hearts is laid bare before Him, He need not that any should tell Him of any man for He knew all men. This alone should caution us to be careful what we imagine even before we execute them. However, the heart of man which is deceitful and desperately wicked cannot stay without longing for freedom to wander in its lust. The inclination of the heart is such that anything man thinks is evil. God already knows the doom ahead of our imagination and so He prepares for us before we land. But God commended His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners Christ died for us. Such is the magnanimity of God’s grace. The Lord engages any suitable means to forestall our impending betrayal. He wants to keep us aware of His love, such that even in our unfaithfulness, He remains faithful to us. He brings us to situations, places, events, people, etc., that will leave a definite positive impact in our hearts. Many times we tend to forget. But when the chips are down, He engages our conscience with those songs, words, films, books,etc, to remind us of His love and promises, just for our sake. Oh!, that we may cherish any moment we have to learn at His feet, whether in the car,office,market,school,church,etc.May we not repress those urges to listen to those edifying songs or messages, read those inspirational books, watch those Christian movies, read those Christian magazines, signposts, fliers, etc, for those are the arsenals He uses to guard our hearts in those unguarded moments when we are jeopardized by our environment and people around us. May we be open to His promptings as He keeps drawing us towards the narrow way.
