How Marvellous! how Wonderfull!

 "And His name will be called Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace"   Isaiah 9:6  NKJV

How fortunate we are to have such a friend as Jesus. He is there when we are sleeping and, He there when we are awake. He never leaves us. A few days ago we were talking about Worry and Anxiety - the pros and cons of it all. It is obvious that Jesus does not want us to worry - at all. The chorus line of this great hymn goes:

'How Marvellous! How Wonderful! And my song shall ever be; How Marvellous! 

How Wonderful! Is my Saviour's love for me.'  Copyright C.H. Gabriel

This chorus says it all. He is Marvellous and He is Wonderful, we could never dispute this fact. Think of those sleepless nights that you have had in the past because you have allowed fear to get you into its grip. Your tormented steps as you have taken through those busy days at work or play. At times you may have been climbing the walls because of the worry. This has not helped your anxiety level. Listen, Jesus does not want you like this. It does not portray a Man or Woman of God.

This is why, Jesus reinforced the command that we should not worry. When we disobey, we lose all sense of peace and we are unable to think straight. These are the times when wrong decisions are made; they are the times when we are prone to make mistakes. Verse 2 of this wonderful hymn goes like this: 

'For me it was in the garden

He prayed -"Not My will, but Thine";

He had no tears for His own griefs

But sweat drops of blood for mine'

We need to grasp hold of the fact that Jesus, just cannot get enough of each one of us. He adores us and gave up His life so that, we could be free. Do you really think He would allow bad things to happen to you if you fully trust in Him, by giving Him all of your worries? Why would He tell us not to worry about things? 

'Therefore do not worry saying 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' 32 For after all these things, the Gentiles seek. For your Heavenly Father knows that you need all the things. 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. 34 'Therefore, do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.'  Mt 6:31-34

So, begin to confess these scriptures, especially Isaiah 9:6. As you confess them in prayer on a regular basis, they will begin to settle into your spirit so that they are in your mind on a regular basis. He is Marvellous! He is Wonderful! And He is yours!

If you don't know Jesus or, have fallen away, why not say this prayer right now:

'Lord Jesus, I have sinned and I ask you to forgive me and be my Lord and Saviour. Please come into my heart, fill me with Your Spirit and give me a brand new start today.

In Jesus' Name. Amen'
