What do we do when human love fails? We
look beyond human love. We look to divine love. God's love never
fails. It's an "unfailing love." We should think, often, of the love of
God. We should think of Jesus - "God so loved the world that He gave
His only Son" (John 3:16). We should think of the supreme demonstration
of God's love - "God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While
we were still sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8). Think of
Jesus. Thank God for Jesus.
"I am filled with the power of the Lord's Spirit" (Micah 3:8). This is what makes true ministry of God's Word so different from 'prophecy' that doesn't come from the Lord. Without the power of the Lord, there can be no Word from the Lord. We need the Word, and we need the power. "Let's go to the mountain of the Lord ...He will teach us His ways so that we may live by them" (Micah 4:2). We are taught by the Lord so that we might live for Him. Teaching and living - they belong together. We do not learn from God's Word so that we can amass more head-knowledge. We pray for a saving knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ - a life-changing knowledge that gives us the strength that we need to live for the glory of God.
