LOVE-LENT 2017 - THE WORD IN LENT #8

Taking refuge in the LOVE of God

Thursday, First week in Lent - 9th March, 2017

Esth 4:17 ; Mt 7:7-12

The World is trying its level best to hide God. They don't want to attribute anything good to God. Creation, they wish to attribute to some irrational coincidence; life, they try hard to attribute to some invisible process that they cannot explain; and all scientific development, they wish to attribute to the human mind that created itself or evolved all by itself! It is in this dark scenario that we as Christians are called to bear witness to God today. 

Esther was a capable woman, who had used all the assets that God had given her for the good of God's people. But inspite of her capacity and commitment we see her totally surrendering to the Lord: taking refuge in the Lord. 

Jesus looks at the people and says, "Ask, Seek and Knock"...humble yourself and place yourself at the receiving end at least a while in you life and you will see the blessing. The Lord promises, "if my people who are called by my name humble themselves, pray, seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and save them, and will forgive their sins and heal their land" (2 Chr 7:14) 

Jesus invites us - ask, seek and knock to prepare ourselves towards us taking refuge in the lOVE of God.
