Isaiah 46:6 “Even in your old age, I am He, and even to grey hairs I will carry you! I have made and I will bear; even I will carry and l I will deliver you.
I love this text, for it is the most comprehensive care statement, out there and it starts at birth. God not only knows He can fulfil all He stated, and we by experience will find He never lies or does not do as promised. He also wants to do as He said, because as His creation, we are greatly loved, and now in our time of need we experience His divine love; still.
Isaiah 46: 5” To whom will you liken Me, and make Me equal and Me, that we should alike.” The truth is God is not like any of us, for He is God above, Holy and Divine, of all Power and all love and knowledge as well as the Creator of all. It is such a comfort that in my most needy and dependent time, at any age, especially old age; it is God Who will carry me through, and deliver me safely home.
None of us are denied the blessings of God when we actually believe in Him. And as we become aware of our wrong doings before God, He invites us to ask Him for forgiveness; then we are freely forgiven by God. No matter what, let nothing in our past stop us, for Jesus died for every sinner, and does not sort us out by colour when it comes to being forgiven and assisted by our Saviour to love Him and His Father with all our heart, mind and soul. 1 John 1:9 “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
There is a blessing like no other, that comes when we have confessed our sins to Jesus and know that forgiveness has been given; precious promise to learn if possible when young; and then cherish to the end of each life; or return to, if anyone has forgotten or departed from seeking Jesus. I find that true abiding happiness comes when living close to God in communication, by reading His Holy Word and praying about all things as well as living His way whole heartedly.
James 1: 17 (NIV) “Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights.”
