TROPHIES OF GRACE!


TROPHIES OF GRACE!

Ps 56:8
8 Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book?

Rev 8:4
4 And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel's hand.

1 Thess 2:19-20
19 For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Are not even ye in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming?
20 For ye are our glory and joy.


          For reasons known only to God, we humans are the subject of His great care and attention. Our prayers ride the incense and are said to be a “sweet smelling savor” in the nostrils of God. Our tears are precious to Him. He collects them in His bottle as something to be treasured. Paul told the Thessalonians that they were his crown of rejoicing. Each one was a trophy of grace. So it is with every good pastor. Each lamb of the flock provides tears, prayers and joy.  

          You are greatly loved by God. He takes peculiar care of you. His eye is upon you and he knows the number of the hairs on your head. He is keenly aware of whatever you are going through today. Even now, unseen angels keep watch over you. You are His peculiar treasure.

Dear Lord, I am unworthy of such great care and attention but I thank you for it. AMEN
