Blessing Message

Those who look to him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame (Psalm 34:5).
Today, the Lord is calling you to His tender care. Whatever be your fears or afflictions, just look unto Him. The psalmist says, “Those who look to Him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame (Psalm 34:5).  As you look unto Him, like the sun shining through the fog, all your troubles would disappear in His presence.  Nothing can stand before the One who loved you and died for you. Prateek Jain (Bijnor, Uttar Pradesh) bewildered by the mounting problems shares his testimony as how he became radiant by looking at Jesus:

“In the year 2002, my father suffered a paralytic stroke and was in a very bad condition while I was pursuing my studies in engineering. Hence, there arose a situation wherein along with my studies, I had to manage the Petrol Bunk Company that he was dealing with at that time. It was at this juncture that I came to know that my father had invested a lot of money in the construction of a guest house and I was so overwhelmed by the heavy burden of debt. In this terrible situation, with a interest to the tune of lakhs of rupees  that had to be paid, I thought that the only way to get out of this was to sell that guest house and repay all the debts. In spite of struggling for 5 years, there were terrible glitches and I was unable to sell it. I met many people and asked for their counsel but still nothing happened. On the other hand, my father still was not in good health, and he was not completely delivered. I could not concentrate in my studies because of this and I somehow managed with great difficulty. I thought of starting a travel agency; use the profit that I get from it for expanding my business. However, there too I failed terribly. In this situation, in the year 2007, a person encouraged me to watch the ‘Jesus Calls’ television program. As I watched it for the first time, I wondered as to how God’s Word was preached mightily and how people received miracles and gave testimonies. Then I continued to watch these programs which gave me great comfort and hope. There arose a faith within me that the Lord Jesus will perform a miracle for me too. I even started corresponding through letters with Dr. Paul Dhinakaran. His reply letters gave me the assurance that all my problems will be solved. To my amazement, in the year 2007, I was able to sell for a very good amount that same property which could not be sold previously. All my debts were repaid and God’s blessings continued to increase in our lives.”

Beloved, just like David who said, “As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, my God” (Psalm 42:1), gaze at Him leaving all your problems into His loving hands that cares for you. His love is unfathomable and colossal that He cannot bypass your tears.  The God of all comforts will comfort you and do mighty miracles for you.  You will not be put to shame.  Your face will glow with joy!
Prayer:
Dear Father in heaven,

I know that You love me deeply. I can always call out to You. You are always near me in spite of my fears. Your presence is mightier to melt the mountains. Break all my problems into pieces. Let my works outshine others and radiate Your glory. 

In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
