Choosing the Better Part of Life

UV 3401/10000 Choosing the Better Part in Life
I was cast upon You from birth; From my mother’s womb You have been my God

Psalm 22 v 10

Jesus had a lifelong and indeed, eternal relationship with the Father. This uni-verse declares that from the womb, He had a personal relationship with God. The greatest good that one can find on earth is to have a personal and lifelong relationship with God. Jesus has made it possible for us to know God from the womb to the tomb and beyond. To be able to talk with God every day and to know Him personally is the greatest privilege a man can have. We have 24x 7 access to the Lord.

God knows us before we know Him for scripture says, “He puts us together in our mothers’ wombs. “ He knits us together and only by Him and in Him are we held together, the different parts of our lives are integrated and welded together. He is closer to us than our own skin. He knows our thoughts and our words, even before it is thought or spoken. We cannot ignore so great a love, so much grace. We would be foolish to do so. Instead, we should acknowledge Him at every step of the way, seek His grace and guidance, His wisdom and power in all that we attempt or do. He is our partner, director in all our ventures. He is the CEO of our lives.

We find our purpose, our significance in Him. We live and move and exist in Him. His word is our breath, our spiritual life-giving and enhancing oxygen, our food and drink , our shield and sword. He is invisible but we can feel His touch, sense His move in our lives. Like Mary, we have chosen the better part, to sit at the feet of Jesus and listen in silence and awe. It is not religion but relationship and fellowship with us that He seeks and delights in. We are to be real, authentic, genuine, honest in our relationship with the Father and the Son. He knows what we are, He knows we have “feet of clay” or weaknesses and frailties. Yet, He declares us righteous by faith and grace. The love of our parents or of our children is only a shadow of the agape love of God.
