Bible Text: Isaiah 43:25 |

 His Desire and Pleasure                 April 30, 2017

 

Isaiah 43:25  I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins.

He did it for His own sake. He said, “I did it for Me because I love you”.

The mighty plan of grace – He wanted us for His own.

2 Timothy 1:9  Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began,

Made one with Him. It was on His heart before the world began. His purpose – that His Son would have a wife. For His pleasure and by His grace, Christ in you the hope of glory.

2 Timothy 2:13  If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.

He can’t deny that life in you. He can’t deny His pleasure. His plan of grace and mercy supersedes even my unbelief. He pursues and His love overcomes. I am His and His desire is toward me (SOS 7:10). He is going to perform the good work He has begun (Phil 1:6). It’s all grace – the grace that brought you out from whatever. Thank Him for the love that does not quit.

Psalm 121:1 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.

That help that comes is “I love you”.The good pleasure of His will is Christ in you, the hope of glory. Not a hope of if, just when. Will it be today? Expect it. Abound in the hope of glory! He will make known to all that He has loved you (Rev. 3:9). Grow up to be the joint-heir with Jesus Christ – glorified together. You are the only thing created to receive and magnify His grace. You are made for Him.

Ephesians 1:9  Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:

Oh, His passion to us! You were made specifically and divinely to receive His grace. Tailor made for His purpose. He made you the way you are to be a perfect vessel for His grace and mercy. The joy can’t be contained - He’s head over heels for you! If you wrestle with this and don’t receive it, you won’t be a happy person. When the love of God is not reigning there is confusion. You’ll fight the ones you love and end up with ones that are bad for you. Wake up! Your house is on fire. Oh how He loves you! For the joy that was set before him, He endured the cross. We are not robots – we are vessels that choose by hearing the words of love. Hear Him.

Song of Solomon 4:12  A garden inclosed is my sister, my spouse; a spring shut up, a fountain sealed.

The vessel only for the Master’s use. She is His masterpiece, for His desire and pleasure. All for Him. When I pray to God in Jesus’ name, He bows the heavens. His desire is toward me!
