Looking for Jesus

In the book, The Miracle of the Scarlet Thread, written by Richard Booker, there is a wonderful poem mentioned.  I would like to share that poem with you.

"I find my Lord in the Bible

Wherever I chance to look,

He is the theme of the Bible

The center and heart of the Book:

He is the Rose of Sharon

He is the Lily fair,

Wherever I open my Bible

The Lord of the Book is there.

He, at the Book's beginning,

Gave to the earth its form,

He is the Ark of shelter

Bearing the brunt of the storm,

The Burning Bush of the desert,

The budding of Aaron's Rod,

Wherever I look in the Bible

I see the Son of God.

The Ram upon Mt. Moriah,

The Ladder from earth to sky,

The Scarlet Cord in the window,

And the Serpent lifted high,

The Smitten Rock in the desert,

The Shepherd with staff and crook,

The face of my Lord I discover

Where I open the Book.

He is the Seed of the Woman,

The Savior Virgin-born;

He is the Son of David,

Whom men rejected with scorn,

His garments of grace and beauty

The stately Aaron deck,

Yet He is a Priest forever,

For He is Melchizedek.

Lord of eternal glory

Whom John, the Apostle, saw;

Light of the Golden City,

Lamb without spot or flaw,

Bridegroom coming at midnight,

For whom the Virgins look.

Wherever I open my Bible,

I find my Lord in the Book.

(Booker, pgs. 19-20)"

God is so wonderful.  He has inspired man to compile all the books of the Bible into one masterpiece where we can immerse ourselves in God's word.  When we really study the Bible and not just read the word, God will open the doors for us to see how Jesus is mentioned from Genesis to Revelation.  

As we read and study God's word, we will find His enduring promises to us.  He loves us so much that He created us in His image.  He wants us to live a life of ultimate peace, joy, and abundantly supplied in all aspects of our life.  When we believe and continue to build a strong relationship with Christ, we can have His enduring promises on earth.  We do not have to wait until we get to heaven to have what God wants us to obtain.  Faith is in the now.  So, saturate yourself in the word of God and see the changes that He will make in your life.  What God has done for the people in the Bible, He can do the same for you.  The Bible is our beacon of light leading us closer to God, so that we can see how amazing He is and nothing is impossible for him that believes.

Also, we have the comfort that Jesus will always be with us not only in the Bible, but when we build a relationship with Christ, He is within us through the Holy Spirit guiding and leading us in all His truth.  When we face circumstances that seem to have no end, remember that Jesus is with us and He will carry us through the storm.  Continue to praise Him and cast all your cares upon Him for He cares for you (First Peter 5:7).  Remember, stay in His rest and allow God's perfect timing to work in your life.
