Sovereign Grace

I found this quote that is actually words to an old hymn..

And so George Chadwick said at the end of the eighteenth century, "I sought the Lord and afterwards I knew He moved my soul to seek Him seeking me, it was not I that found 0 Savior true, no I was found by Thee."

I sought the Lord, and afterward I knew
He moved my soul to seek Him, seeking me.
It was not I that found, O Savior true;
No, I was found of Thee.

Thou didst reach forth Thy hand and mine enfold;
I walked and sank not on the storm vexed sea.
’Twas not so much that I on Thee took hold,
As Thou, dear Lord, on me.

I find, I walk, I love, but oh, the whole
Of love is but my answer, Lord, to Thee!
For Thou were long beforehand with my soul,
Always Thou lovest me.

Perhaps the hymn writer was thinking of these words..

Isaiah 65:1

English Standard Version (ESV)

Judgment and Salvation

 I was ready to be sought by those who did not ask for me;
    I was ready to be found by those who did not seek me.
I said, “Here I am, here I am,”
    to a nation that was not called by my name.

Ésaïe 65:1

Segond 21 (SG21)

Réponse de Dieu

Je me suis laissé consulter par ceux qui ne me demandaient rien,
je me suis laissé trouver par ceux qui ne me cherchaient pas.
J'ai dit: «Me voici! Me voici!»
à une nation qui ne faisait pas appel à mon nom.

Arabic Life Application Bible (ALAB)

  «قَدْ أَعْلَنْتُ ذَاتِي لِمَنْ لَمْ يَسْأَلُوا عَنِّي، وَوَجَدَنِي مَنْ لَمْ يَطْلُبْنِي، وَقُلْتُ: هَأَنَذَا لأُمَّةٍ لَمْ تُدْعَ بِاسْمِي.

以 賽 亞 書 65:1

Chinese Union Version (Simplified) (CUVS)

 素 来 没 有 访 问 我 的 ， 现 在 求 问 我 ； 没 有 寻 找 我 的 ， 我 叫 他 们 遇 见 ； 没 有 称 为 我 名 下 的 ， 我 对 他 们 说 ： 我 在 这 里 ！ 我 在 这 里 ！

यशायाह 65:1

Hindi Bible: Easy-to-Read Version (ERV-HI)

परमेश्वर के बारे में सभी लोग जानेंगे

65 यहोवा कहता है, “मैंने उन लोगों को भी सहारा दिया है जो उपदेश ग्रहण करने के लिए कभी मेरे पास नहीं आये। जिन लोगों ने मुझे प्राप्त कर लिया, वे मेरी खोज में नहीं थे। मैंने एक ऐसी जाति से बात की जो मेरा नाम धारण नहीं करती थी। मैंने कहा था, ‘मैं यहाँ हूँ! मैं यहाँ हूँ!’

As I write this blog, my husband and two other men are in India; 

As the three men watched the procession of people carrying the brightly colored lifeless images of gods only of the imaginations, they are saddened.

The loud drums and louder voices cannot bring life.

As they see the darkness of the demonically inspired worship of false gods, I think of God's way of converting sinners..

Psalm 46:10 says:

English Standard Version (ESV)

¹⁰ “Be still, and know that I am God.
    I will be exalted among the nations,
    I will be exalted in the earth!”

1 Corinthians 9:16

English Standard Version (ESV)

¹⁶ For if I preach the gospel, that gives me no ground for boasting. For necessity is laid upon me. Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel!

If you are one of my readers and do not understand the way of God to seek and find lost sinners and bring them by way of repentance and trust in the finished work of Jesus Messiah on the cross, please write me.  I love to tell the old, old story of Jesus and His love..I love to preach the gospel. 

For the praise of His glory,

Mrs B

We begin a new year.  Yet each page on our calendar is tentative.  What do I mean?  We may not live to see this day come.  Or the Lord may descend and time as we know it will cease.  What really does the Lord wish of each of us this year?
To love the Lord our God with all of our heart, soul, strength and mind.  To love our neighbor as ourselves.  Jesus said this sums up the law.
Jesus also told His disciples, to go and under His authority, to make disciples of all the nations, teaching them all things Jesus had commanded, baptizing them into the new life found in the work of the Father who sent the Son who was given the power of the Holy Spirit to perform such signs and miracles to prove that truly God, the Eternal Son had come to bring light into the darkness of the cursed world.  Many of you probably sang this last week.. "far as the curse is found"..one of the lines of Joy to the World.
I encourage you this year to look with eyes of faith to how God will use YOU to be part of this work of His; to see His kingdom come on earth as in the heaven already His will rules.  Start with a regular time of reading of the Word of God with the intent of obeying all you read.  Write down what you learn.  Find an accountability partner who truly loves you enough to speak into your life.  Local church, not blog or social media church.
Write me as my blog title remains: Devoted to Prayer.  Part  of this prayer time includes intercession for all men [and women].
Riches and treasures found only in Christ Jesus be yours in 2013.
