My Dear Brothers and Sisters, I greet and bless everyone in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. The blessed word that God has given for you today is from the book of Psalms 33:9, “For He spoke and it was done. He commanded and it stood fast.”
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, from the above context we learn that when God commanded, it stood fast, And when He spoke, it was done. Creation was the fruit of a word. Jehovah said, Let there be light, and there was light. What a powerful word is this? He commanded and it stood fast. Out of nothing, creation stood forth and was confirmed in existence.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, This is a psalm of praise. The psalmist in this psalm calls upon the righteous to praise God. We must praise God for His justice, goodness, and truth, for His power in the work of creation. For the peculiar favor which he bears to his own chosen people, which encourages them to trust in Him. How God made the world and brought all things into being is evidenced, in the creation of the world. How easily all things were made by the word of the Lord and by the breath of His mouth. Christ is the word, and the Holy Spirit is the breath. So God said, Let us make man and he breathed into him the breath of life. He commanded and it stood fast. It is by virtue of that command to stand fast, that things continue to this day, according to God’s ordinance. He made the heavens, the sun, moon and stars, and constellation. The clouds the rain and the rainbow.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, What do you expect God to do for you in your life? Are you passing through the snares of this world? Are you caught up in a severe financial crisis or burdened with a huge sum of debts. Maybe you are thinking hard on these issues and brooding over endlessly. All these problems are trivial issues for God to deal with. Just one word from the mouth of God is sufficient to solve all your problems. Nothing is too hard for the Lord to perform. All things are possible to them that believe.
For He spoke and it was done. Today is a day of a breakthrough in your life. All that is pending all these years will soon come to pass provided you put your trust in the Living God. He is able to do the utmost. Our God is great in power; He rebukes the sea and makes it dry. He dries up all the rivers. The mountains quake before Him. The Hills melt. And the earth heaves at His presence. The Lord is good a stronghold in the day of trouble.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, Clouds are associated in the Bible with God. Clouds are the sorrows and the sufferings within our personal lives. Yet it is through these clouds that the spirit of God is teaching us to walk by faith. If there were no clouds in our lives we would have no faith. Sufferings are clouds that come along with God. Is there anyone except Jesus in your cloud? Then get to the place where there is no one anymore, but only Jesus. The clouds are the dust of His feet. The Psalmist says, “ In the midst of trouble You will revive me.” Thus the word of God brings comfort and hope to those who are in sorrow and suffering. Hold on to His word.
God bless you.
Prayer:
Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Lord, we thank you for Your Word, which is all powerful. And May Your word comfort our weary souls and enrich our hearts. Help us to be strengthened by Your word, in our affliction. Teach us to delight in your word all the days of our lives.
