You, Lord , are all I have, and you give me all i need.

Praise God for his goodness for his mercy , for his love , for his protection , and for the hope salivation he has given us. I know this is the day that the lord has made. Therefore, I will rejoice and be glad in it joining David the writer of psalms. It is the day of hope, and mercy , and it is the day of salivation. Therefore, it is good to enter in his court with thanksgiving and praise in our heart for he deserve all the praise and appreciation.

A thought came to me while I was driving , and thinking , rethinking about things around. I know I had a lots of things in my heart and my mind in the last few days, months , and even years. Therefore, it is quite normal to think about things that comes and goes in your mind and your heart. However, one thought came to my my mind and capture my attention. When i thought about the thought itself, It made me stop and wonder. God , the creator of the heaven and the earth has given us all what we need in a daily bases. I said wow , and kept thinking about it for a while , not only he gives us all we need daily , but also in yearly and in all seasons.

This is what I realised once I thought about the thought. I realised that I was not happy, satisfied, or greatful is that I thought what I need was a job. I knew in my mind that I need money to finance most of what I thought I need. As a result , somehow I was desperate to find a job will help me make money. Therefor, I was thinking , and somehow murmuring inside for I didn't have a job. I realised this happened because of my preconceived expectation of I need a job. What I learned through the process of thinking , God already has given me this time to work on the work he has given me. I have been working on my project for the last few years. However, since my thought and expectation was to find job, i totally missed the gift of God, which is time to work on this. Therefore, was murmuring and complaining inside.

I learned that he has given me this time for he knows there is a lot to work to be done. The lesson I learned in the process was we are too much consumed with our thoughts and desires , it would be hard to see, observe and realised what God has given us each day. He has given us another day , another mercy, another hope , another day to seek his purpose he has for each day. I know the powerful scripture that says many are in the hearts of men, but the purpose of God shall prevail.

These are the things I learned need to know each day while we are walking in this life.The first thing God wants us to know is he loves us so much. He loves us so much, as a result he is willing to give his own life in exchange of our life. He loves us so much no matter what happened to us, in whatever path we are in , no matter what we feel or think about ourselves , he loves us , and he keep loving us. He loves us so much though we are lost deep in sin and death is pronounced upon us. He loves us not just by simple saying the word I love you but by giving his one life. That is why one of the bile writer described this love saying"Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." John 15: 13. Another writer described the love of God saying "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16. Another writer describes this form of love, the love of God saying,"But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8. The thing is it is not us we loved him , it is him who loved us as it was written, "We love him, because he first loved us." 1 John 4:19.

The second thing we need to know me and you are very important to God . You and me are very, very important person to God. In fact that is the only reason why he came, he came to look for the lost and the dying soul like me and you. He came to look for one lost lamp lost in the big jungle , which is the world. Jesus came to seek for the lost lamp who is wondering around to find meaning, purpose in life. Jesus came to look for you and me for we are the most important persons for him. One of the bible writer alluded this facts saying " What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it? And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing. And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost. I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance. " Luke 15: 4-7.

There are many important things God wants us to know. He wants you and me to know that he is One. The God of the universe is One God. He wants us to know he is One , because we are in the time where people would talk many things about God , which is not true. He want us to know he is ONE, and this is very important to him. That is why he gave us a commandment that says, " Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord: And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes. And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates. Deuteronomy 6:4-9 . Another writers alluded the same point , that God is one saying, "Thou, even thou, art Lord alone; thou hast made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their host, the earth, and all things that are therein, the seas, and all that is therein, and thou preservest them all; and the host of heaven worshippeth thee. Thou art the Lord the God, who didst choose Abram, and broughtest him forth out of Ur of the Chaldees, and gavest him the name of Abraham;." Nehemiah 9:6-7 . Another writer indicated this saying, "Thus saith the Lord the King of Israel, and his redeemer the Lord of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God. Thus saith the Lord, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb, I am the Lord that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself; " Isaiah 44:6;8.

The other important things is God created us with a purpose. We are fearfully and wonderfully made by God as one of the bible writer David indicated this saying "I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them. How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them! " Psalms 139: 14-17. Another writer indicated this how God created us all with the purpose saying, "Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations." Jeremiah 1: 5.

He created us for his won purpose , to worship him , and live with him forever and forever. One writer indicated this " Sing to the LORD, all the earth; proclaim his salvation day after day. Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous deeds among all peoples. For great is the LORD and most worthy of praise; he is to be feared above all gods. 26 For all the gods of the nations are idols, but the LORD made the heavens. Splendor and majesty are before him; strength and joy are in his dwelling place. Ascribe to the LORD, all you families of nations, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength. Ascribe to the LORD the glory due his name; bring an offering and come before him. Worship the LORD in the splendor of his holiness. Tremble before him, all the earth! The world is firmly established; it cannot be moved. Let the heavens rejoice, let the earth be glad; let them say among the nations, “The LORD reigns!” 1 chronicle 16: 23-31.

Another writer said this “I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. “You shall have no other gods before me. “You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments. Exodus 20: 2-6. The entire bible talks about the One God who created the heaven and the earth by himslef and for himslef as It was written, " For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: " Colossians 1:16.
