Jesus answers His people with perfect love!

So that they caused the cry of the poor to come to Him; For He hears the cry of the afflicted. When He gives quietness, who then can make trouble? And when He hides His face, who then can see Him, Whether it is against a nation or a man alone? Job 34:28-29 NKJV
 
Elihu proclaims God’s justice.
 
God did not fit neatly into Job’s theological box of understanding. He does not fit neatly into a theological box of our understanding today.
 
The book of Job reminds me that Jesus is a God of awe and wonder. The Lord cannot be moved. His wisdom is unsearchable. Jesus knows what is happening in every corner of creation. God’s perfect judgment and justice surpasses our limited understanding.
 
Because God sees all things and knows all things He cannot be fully understood!
 
I am reminded of a time years ago when I set my heart on sin. I searched it out. I stood at the doorway waiting to enter in. God stopped me. The plan I devised to satisfy my sinful nature failed. God protected me from the consequences of my sin.
 
There have been other times when God did not stop me from sinning. He allowed me to suffer the consequences. Why would God intervene on one occasion to prevent heartache and suffering and not another? I do not know.
 
Jesus hears the cries of the poor in spirit and resources. He punishes the strong and mighty who oppress and afflict them. Sometimes God’s judgment comes swiftly. Sometimes the Lord waits, why? Only Almighty God knows.
 
Sometimes God’s judgment is to leave nations and people to themselves. Sometimes the Lord hides His face and leaves them to their own evil desires. Jesus cannot be found by people who do not seek Him!
 
God answers the cries of His people with perfect love. The heart that is stilled by the Lord rests in perfect peace even when surrounded by chaos and turmoil. Sometimes God answers those cries swiftly. Sometimes His answer seems to be delayed. It is not. God is always on time. His love is always perfect!
 
God gives us what we need when we need it. Jesus can call the storms that roll into our lives or He can calm them. Jesus can answer with deliverance or He can answer, “My grace is sufficient for you.” Jesus will always answer with perfect love that surpasses our understanding!
 
If you seek Jesus, you will find Him. If you call out to God, He will answer. It may be the answer you seek. It may not be the answer you seek. It will be the perfect answer for you!
 
Jesus answers His people with perfect love!

    ​Jesus can use you to shake the foundations of the prison and set people free!
     
    Now it happened, as we went to prayer, that a certain slave girl possessed with a spirit of divination met us, who brought her masters much profit by fortune telling. This girl followed Paul and us, and cried out, saying, “These men are servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to us the way of salvation.” And this she did for many days. But Paul, greatly annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out that very hour. Acts 16:16-18 NKJV
     
    The slave girl was speaking the truth. She was possessed by an evil spirit. The evil spirit was drawing people away from Christ! 
     
    This attack came as God’s servants went to prayer. The enemy of our souls attacks when we step out in faith. Satan seeks to distract us. He wants us to focus our attention on things other than Jesus.
     
    The devil perverts the truth. He uses it against us. No one can serve two masters. This girl was speaking the truth about Paul and his companions while practicing witchcraft. When people claim to speak for God we must consider how they live.
     
    The girl followed the disciples for several days before they cast the demon out of her. It is important for us to wait on the Lord before stepping out in faith. The bible tells us Paul was greatly annoyed by this girl. Paul was not fearful. The Lord was with Him! 
     
    Paul and Silas were put in jail. The owners of the slave girl were angry at the loss of income when the demon was cast out of her. While Paul and Silas were in jail they shared the gospel with the jailer. His entire household was saved. 
     
    God uses Satan’s attacks for His glory and our salvation!
                       
    Satan is a real being. He takes people captive to do his will. There really are demons who seek to destroy God’s people and bring destruction to our world.
     
    We have nothing to fear from the devil or his demons when we live according to God’s will. We have nothing to fear from anyone or anything when we step out in faith to serve Jesus! 
     
    Jesus wants us to fear Him and Him alone. He wants us to know His power and authority are unequaled in all of creation.
     
    God wants you share the gospel of Jesus Christ with the people in your life. Jesus wants you to walk in great boldness because He is with you everywhere you go!
     
    Jesus can use you to shake the foundations of the prison and set people free!
