*WISDOM FOR TODAY.*
*GOD IS EVERGREEN.*
*Scripture Treasure.*
Hosea 14:8 *Ephraim shall say, What have I to do any more with idols? I have heard him, and observed him: I am like a green fir tree. From me is thy fruit found.*
*Insight and Highlight.*
Heb 13:8 *Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.*
*Scripture Commentaries.*
God is constant yet moves with time and is in and on time.
He is God of all times and seasons, ref Eccl 3:11, Dan 2:21.
He is old, present, up-to-date, and new every day, Ps 90:2, Lam 3:22-23.
In Hosea 14:8 says God to Ephraim *....l am like a green fir tree...."* meaning He is evergreen.
God is evergreen, meaning His flourishing never fades, ref Ps 1:2-3. His mercies, goodness, love, etc, all never fail or fade.
He remains green and functional through all seasons.
In the past year, there were challenges, but it is good for us to remember that God remains the same.
Circumstances do not change God but God changes them.
Nothing takes Him by surprise, and no circumstance can limit Him.
As He had come through for His own in time past, so also will He come through for His own today, especially those who trust in Him.
As you go today, the first Sunday of 2024, remember to thank God. Put all your problems and challenges behind you.
Rejoice forever more. Delight in the Lord. Those who delight in Him are evergreen!
*Remorse corner.*
Problems and challenges phase out, but the goodness and love of God do not. They are evergreen.
*Call to Word action.*.
Delight in the Lord so you *.....shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.* Psalm 1:3.
*The Christian clarion duty.*
The secret to being as evergreen as God is when your *.....delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.*, Psalm 1:2.
*Prayer.*
Lord, make my life evergreen in Jesus name.
Good morning, all, and be blessed as you come into His presence today.
God bless you.
