A Need for God

October 21, 2013

Christ in your hearts is your only hope of glory.
–Colossians 1:27 (TLB)

The age-old issue, “Can man save himself, or does he need God?” is still raging across the world as furiously as ever. As long as the world goes on, people will build towers of Babel, fashion their graven images, and invent their own ideologies. Now, as in every period of history, people think they can manage without God.

Economically, they may manage; intellectually, they may manage; socially, they may get by. But down underneath the surface of rational man is a vacuum—a void that can be met only through Jesus Christ. The most astounding fact of all history is that the great and almighty God of heaven can live in your heart. It makes no difference who you are.

Prayer for the day

You fill the emptiness and longing of my soul. I need the presence of Your Spirit, dear Lord.

Please help me release the doubts I have and revive my faith in Christ. I long to openly serve, but am held back by my doubts in the Word. Lord, fill my life with a wholeness that I might serve you with all I am. Forgive me of my sins and doubts and short-sightedness. I seek you in every way I know how. Everyone, I ask that I might be lifted up in your prayer requests to have my doubts removed and faith restored beyond measure. Thus allowing me to go and serve where I am called.

Dear God, Please help. I don't know what is going on anymore in my life. I am at my end. I have done nothing wrong that I can see. I am trying my best. Please end my pain in your guiding way.

Every living person on this planet has a gnawing need in their soul for God, the people who won't recognize this turn to alcohol, drugs, illicit sex, bad relationships, we will turn to everything but GOD! GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME...

You could win the lotto, inherit billions, etc. and still feel unhappy inside. Sadly, many wealthy and famous people have passed, miserable and lost. That internal void can only be satisfied with a genuine life-saving relationship with Christ.
