FOOL’S PARADISE
His Blood does more than cover; it cleanses and closes the case. As far as wrongs are concerned, there is nothing hidden that will not be revealed eventually. To think otherwise is to dwell in a fool’s paradise.

God is known for many attributes. In our text, four things are attributed to Him – He is eternal, immortal, invisible, and wise. Let’s focus on His invisibility.
The application of this to real life situation is that, no matter how bad the season appears on the surface, it will not be without “good fruits”. There is always a witness of God’s kindness in all situations. Look out for it.
We cannot put God in a straightjacket, asking Him to meet our needs certain way. Always be open in your mind for the uncommon acts of God.
The word manifest means to exhibit. Jesus wants to exhibit His name and worth in whosoever is willing. There is a condition to make this all work out: we need to love Him supremely.
For us thanksgiving is not just acknowledgment of what God has done, it is our duty and calling. Understandably, our text enjoins us to give thanks continually, much the same way the sacrifices in the Old Testament were perpetual.
The good thing is all believers have been made into a nation of priests. We can all offer sacrifice to God by giving thanks and praises to His holy name.
By thanking the Lord, he gained access into more of God’s goodness. Ingratitude will shut the door of blessings, but gratitude will give you access to more.
Hasn’t the Bible declared that the eyes of God run to and fro the entire earth? If we don’t make adjustment, it is not that God is not following; it is failure to recognise it.
One thing is clear though; that is, even when we sit down because we feel the weight of life’s problems and responsibilities, His eyes are still following us. His mercies can reach out to us and change our perspective and experience.
