The One Who Is

Scripture:

26 But how can you fail to see the truth of resurrection? Don’t you remember in the Book of Moses how God talked to Moses out of a burning bush and what God said to him then? “I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.” “I am,” God said. Not “I was.” 27 So God is not the God of the dead but of the living. You are sadly mistaken. (Mark 12:26-27 The Voice) Scribe: 32 Teacher, You have spoken the truth. For there is one God and only one God, 33 and to love God with all our heart and soul and mind and strength and to love our neighbors as ourselves are more important than any burnt offering or sacrifice we could ever give . (Mark 12:32-33 The Voice) What a good reminder for us today! God is still the God of today; the God for us where we live today. He did not stay in the past with the prophets and teachers of old, but stays with those of us who believe Him for who He is today. If we can keep that truth alive in our hearts, we can live with more love, more faith, more confidence, and more hope each day. Thank You, Lord, that You are the God that is, not just the God that was. I believe this with all my heart, and it does keep hope alive in my heart each day. AMEN Father, You are a shelter for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble. Because I know Your name, I can, and will trust in You. Psalm 9
