A Divine Resource


Recognize the good God has planned 

People sometimes lack hope for their situations because they only see the negative aspects of their circumstances. They may fail to see the good God plans to accomplish through their situation. When God shoves us out of our comfort zone, He is doing it for our growth and development. (James 1:2) says, “Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various kinds of trials.” Why? James explains in (vv.3-4) “that the testing of [our] faith produces endurance…” 


When we recognize the good God has planned for us, and we consider every dark cloud has a silver lining we come to understand and believe in the hope we have through Him who saved us.


People often lose hope because they don’t feel they can handle what is confronting them. When we try to deal with our troubles alone, without God’s help we will suffer. We aren’t alone with our problems though. We have a God who loves us, who knows our every difficulty. He truly cares! Consider what God’s Word says, “in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us” (Romans 8:37).
  
In truth we will rise above all difficulties when as Christians we realize we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us (Philippians 4:13). We have a blessed confidence in the face of our struggles because our divine resource is Jesus Christ.

Walk Of Faith

I wonder, do you think we miss God’s purpose for our lives because we are waiting to learn more of what God has planned for us? Truth is; God isn’t required to lay it all out for us. All He must do if He has a plan for our lives is to show us how and then enable us to do it. It seems when we don’t know all the particulars, life is too perplexing. We think, “ but I need to know just what God wants me to do.” Abram (later known as Abraham) probably had thoughts just like this. God asked Abram to go somewhere he wasn’t familiar with and he most likely thought of asking God, Lord, must I go somewhere I don’t know, can’t I just stay here in Haran? However, God’s plan for Abram was far greater than anything Abram could ever imagine. Our personal feelings, vision, and human reasoning will always get in the way of our walk of faith . God teaches us to have faith in Him by placing us in positions where our feelings, vision, and common knowledge don’t work for us. Haven’t you ex...

Over the past few years I have been inspired by the Holy Spirit to write what He has given me; many times I was awakened in the middle of the night to write them down. I hope you will take look at these brief messages which can be found in the "sidebar" of this blog under the heading of "BLOG ARCHIVE." There may be something in these that personally speaks to you. I pray there is. Thanks for reading my blog and may God richly bless you.

In Heaven

We will experience a sense of perfect joy There will also be perfect peace and fulfillment because of the divine presence of God. Our worship of the Father will be without distraction. Forever and ever we will concentrate our worship only on Him; our loving, caring God who is, and was, and forever will be our Creator and Sustainer. Never will we experience exhaustion as we serve and interact with Him on a very personal level. “And His servants shall serve Him” (Revelation 22:3). In Revelation it is revealed we will govern with Christ and rule over all that is brought under His dominion. “The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall rule forever and ever!” (Revelation 11:15). And it is written; “And they [his servants] shall reign forever and ever” (Revelation 22:5). Ours will be a perfect fellowship like that of the Father and the Son. “That they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they may also be ...
