Manifestation of the Lord

UV 3649/10000 Manifestation of the Lord He guards the feet of His godly (faithful) ones, but the wicked ones are silenced and perish in darkness ; for a man shall not prevail by might. I Samuel 2 v 9 The Lord guards our feet. The feet are considered the least and last part of our bodies but the Lord cares for it. He guides our feet. His word is a lamp unto our feet as to which direction we should take in our lives, the very next step we need to take. The wicked are the ones who disregard the Lord and His word. They will be silenced and will perish like the beasts of the wild. They live by the rule of the jungle that might or power is right. Their eyes are fixed on gain, pleasure, glamour and power. They flaunt their strength and boast of their might. They want to have their own way. But the Lord has ordained that they shall not prevail. The faithful are humble, repentant, fearful or reverential towards the Lord and they heed the word of God. They do not seek to please themselves or the ones who are mighty among men but to win the favour of the Lord and to continue to walk in it. The face of the Lord shines down upon such as these like the noonday sun. The Lord watches over them day and night. Even if they stumble, the Lord helps them pick themselves up and walk again. He goes ahead to remove any obstacles their enemies have placed on their paths. The Lord manifests or celebrates on behalf of His chosen the power and might of His hand. He hides us as an arrow in its quiver, He hides us in the palm of His hands. He follows us like a faithful shadow We need to pray to the Lord to “manifest” Himself in our lives. He will then reveal His power, His wisdom, His love, His grace, His mercy, His justice, His sovereign will in different areas or aspects of our lives. Our lives and our testimonies are but a celebration of such manifestations of the Lord in us, through us, for us. Unlike the wicked who perish, we flourish and live forever after our earthly sojourn. In short, our lives are as contrasted with the wicked or unrepentant as day from night. The Lord shines on us, day and night, without interruption or pause.
