MEDITATION

When there are disagreements or intense discussions on doctrine, Scripture interpretation or any other biblical matter, I rely on this verse. As for me, I will expectantly keep my eyes on the God of my salvation. He alone is my Source. He is my Comfort. He is my Assurance. He is my Guide and Teacher. He is my Everything. These are not mere words of clichés my friend. He is my All in All. Praise be to Him for He alone holds all of Creation in His mighty hands. I will always choose to rest in Him and keep my gaze set upon His glorious face.
