Psalm 10:4 (NIV), “In his pride the wicked does not seek him; in all his thoughts there is no room for God”. 

“No room for God”. Psalm 14:1says, “The fool says in his heart, ‘There is no God.’”  Such people will do whatever they please, whatever they want, without a care for tomorrow, without a care for where they will spend their eternity. They have made no room for God in their lives. 

Some take the approach of going through life, just doing their own thing, not having any room for God. They run to destruction with their fingers in their ears saying, “I am far too young, I am far too busy, I am far to set in my ways to care about God or even think about Him.”  These people literally have one foot in hell and the other one a bar of soap, while they are slipping past to a lost eternity.  

The concept that there will be a huge party in hell awaiting you with all your friends, where you will surf on the crest of a wave in the sea of fire, is one which has deluded so many into having no room for God, and spending a lost eternity all alone in hell. 

In hell, you will be tormented night and day in total darkness, and those who reject Jesus on this of heaven, and who refuse to bow the knee to Jesus here on earth, will one day will bow the knee to Him, before they are cast into the lake of fire.  

God does not want anyone to perish, nor does He want to send anyone to hell, however we send ourselves to hell, by saying, as our text says in Psalm 10:4 (NIV), “In his pride the wicked does not seek him; in all his thoughts there is no room for God”. By saying, “No” to Jesus, is saying, “I have no room for God!” 

My friend, God wants everyone to enjoy fellowship with Him, to make room for Him in our daily lives, that we may have life and that more abundantly in Jesus. “The vilest offender who truly believes, that moment from Jesus, a pardon receives”. 

The Bible says in Titus 3: 4 to 7, “But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life”. 

This old gospel song asks the question, “Have you any room for Jesus?” What will you answer be? 

Have you any room for Jesus, he who bore your load of sin?
As He knocks and asks admission, sinners, will you let Him in?  

Room for Jesus, King of Glory! Hasten now His Word obey,
Swing the heart’s door widely open, bid Him enter while you may.  

God bless you my friend, Matthew.

 

Leviticus 17:11 (KJV), “For the life of the flesh is in the blood”. 

Recently there has been a campaign on national television and radio for people to give blood. The caption that follows says this, “Save a life, give blood”. You can be a hero to someone simply by giving blood to save a life. So I went a long to give blood where I was told that only clean blood can be used. I was told how precious my blood was to someone who might need it. 

Then I thought of when Jesus Christ died on the cross of Calvary , where His blood was given to save, not just one soul, but the world. His blood is clean and holy. His blood not only saves, but cleanses the lost sinner and makes him clean. The Bible says in 1 Peter 1:18-119  (KJV),  “Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot”. 

‘O’ the precious blood of Jesus, ’O’ precious is that flow that makes me white as snow, nothing but the blood of Jesus. Our life is in Jesus; in Him we live and move and have our being. It is His blood that gives us life; in redeeming sacrifice.  

Jesus is my hero, for He gave not only His blood for me, but also His life, that I may live, that His life may be in me, and that His life-giving, soul saving, cleansing blood may wash over, in, and through my life, that I may be clean and holy through His precious blood.  

Thank you Jesus, for your blood that you gave in the great exchange to save me. 

God bless you my friend, Matthew.
