Psalm 71:20-21
You, who have shown me great and severe troubles,
Shall revive me again, And bring me up again from the depths of the earth. You shall increase my greatness, And comfort me on every side.
I have moments in my life that I have said: “Really God?” I have so many moments in my walk with God that I've just come out of one thing and now here's another. When we say stand strong in the Lord; It is not always going to be easy. But, I do rather fall into the arms of the Lord. We can write down our goals and our targets and through all of my wins and losses, I expected things to go my way. My walk with God has been full of surprises. In fact, I've found myself trying to figure out an easy way out or trying to do things my way. The Lord has always been my rock and deliverer. We can make all the plans but the bible established that we should seek God in everything and he will direct our paths. The bible also says: “separated from God we can not do anything”. Jonah ran away from God's plan and he ended up in the belly of a fish, Noah followed God's plan and he was saved. Lot's wife deviated from God's plan, and she was turned into a pillar of salt. Joseph trusted in God and in his plans, and he became the ruler of Egypt. Sampson decided not to follow God’s instruction, and he lost his supernatural strength, Joshua stuck to God's plan and the walls of Jericho came tumbling down. Indeed! God’s plan will always work out for those of us Love God and are called according to his plan. It's crucial to not deviate from our path with God. This can be dangerous and we should not take our salvation for granted; otherwise, we are running the chance to be faced with judgement. When you reject God and his plans; you leave yourself open to the attacks of the enemy and the judgement of God. Trusting in God's plan isn't always an easy thing to do because it requires more faith than does sight. We have to believe even when we don't see. Trusting in God requires us to go against everything we've been conditioned to do. Trusting in God requires us to ignore what we can see or understand. Trusting in God and trusting the new anchor. Trusting in God and ignoring what the economy is doing. We need to let go of the need for control. Today we say Yes God and Amen. Not my will God; but yours, I want only and nothing more than your will for my life. “For nothing will be impossible with God” “Ah, Lord God! It is you who have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and by your outstretched arm! Nothing is too hard for you God. In psalm 119 David said: “It is good for me to be afflicted so that I might learn your decrees”. And when I read this psalm; I asked! How is it good to be afflicted? How is it good to go through pain and distress? I learned that afflictions, pain and distress do more than simply show what kind of character we have. What’s inside our hearts? Touch times, shape and form out character. Affliction is necessary for the Christian man or woman, because if it is not for those hard times you’re going through, how much would you know that God will never leave you nor forsake you? If it is not through sickness, how would Jesus heal? If not through financial hardship, how would you know that the Lord is a provider? My need for the Lord increases everyday when I realize that without God who knows where I would be. I rather lose all and everything than to gain this world and lose my soul. Today, take heart. Listen to the holy spirit because the time is near.
