"He Has Answered!" -2

"Save Thy people, and bless Thine inheritance: feed them also, and lift them up for ever." (Psalms 28:9) I did not want anyone to get the wrong idea, and to think that I was saying that we do not have to be 'salt' and 'light', because we most definitely do; it's just that there is nothing more for us to work for, or for us to try and gain an inheritance that is already been given.

After all is said and done, when it comes to praying for help, He has already done everything that we need, and we really have no need for anything else but Jesus! I really don't know why so many people do not understand that and continue to think that there is still something they need to do to complete the process of being reconciled to God, because there is nothing more to be done towards gaining our inheritance, nor do we need to earn our salvation. Maybe it's the premise of, If it doesn't cost me something, then it must not be worth having; or maybe some people just can't believe it can be that easy to receive forgiveness!

The title above this next Psalm in my Bible reads, "The Voice of the Lord", and it makes perfect sense, that if God speaks, it is because He is making things happen. For over four hundred years God did not speak to His people; for over four hundred years, God was silent and did not declare anything after saying these words: "Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD: and he shall turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse." (Malachi 4:5 & 6) And then after over four hundred years of silence, God spoke; and His voice was in the sound of a Baby...
