God had something He wanted me (and many billions of others) to know.

So He gave Luke the desire to compose for a certain Theophilus a compressed history of Jesus’ doings on this planet.

“That thou mightest know the certainty of those things, wherein thou hast been instructed” (Luke 1:4).

Then He worked through Luke to produce a divinely-inspired (“breathed by God”) document.

For me! And you!

I am so glad for the inspired revelation of God’s will and ways. I am glad I can rest with certainty in its divine trustworthiness.

I want to grow in my living appreciation of it. I want to treasure it. I want to love reading it and meditating on it. I want my life to demonstrate the inspired Word of God.

[Thy prayer is heard (Luke 1:13)]

from Luke 1:13

A little bit more from Luke 1: God Worked in Them

For by Him we shall do valiantly!

We have our battles, challenges, and obstacles. Most of the time we each want to fight our own battles. We want to overcome our own challenges. We want to clamber over our own obstacles.

That’s fine. God expects us to do our part, to go out with faith in Him.

Sometimes, though, part of faith in Him involves this:

“The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool” (Psalm 110:1).

By Him shall we overcome. By Him we shall do valiantly.

By Him.

Remember, Mark. Don’t forget again!

[The Lord at thy right hand (Psalm 110:5)]
