Wait For Him


Through His strength we will be renewed

There will be those days when you are going to feel less than efficient; even your physical energy will feel drained. All that wonderful motivation you had before will seem to have just deserted you. What do you do? Do you think to yourself; “I’ve got to make things in my life happen”, and so you press on with only your own strength? You could, but don’t be surprised if you run out of steam. In (Jeremiah 29:11) God talks about the plans He has for us. Just as He has a plan for us He also has a time-frame in which He will accomplish His plan. When we attempt to get ahead of His plan by pushing ahead without Him we can lose our enthusiasm in our effort, become confused, maybe even give up trying to finish what we started. When we try to accomplish what God has planned for us in our own strength; or worst yet, we come up with our own plan, the results are likely to be discouraging. It’s really best if we wait for Him!

(Isaiah 40:30) advises us to be patient and wait on the Lord; Even the youth shall faint and be weary, / and the young men shall fall, / but those who wait on the LORD, / shall renew their strength; / they shall mount up with wings like eagles, / they shall run and not be weary, / they shall walk and not faint.

When we are moving in God’s purpose, He gives us the strength and the wisdom to accomplish that which He has planned for us. Pray for His perfect will in your life; then, just wait for Him.

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...

Get Out Of Your Boat

In (Matthew 14:25) Jesus had told the disciples to get into the boat and go on ahead of Him to the other side of the lake. The Bible says; He went up on a mountainside by Himself to pray. The wind was strong that night and the waves buffeted the small boat, tossing it to and fro. It would have been a frightening time to be out on the water; especially that late at night. The men in the boat trembled with fear, and when they saw Jesus walking out to them on the water they thought He was a ghost. Jesus assured them it was He and they should not be afraid. Peter, one of the disciples, said, “Lord, if it’s You, tell me to come to You on the water!” Jesus told him, “Come.” Peter stepped out of the boat, walked toward Jesus, but when he saw the wind; the Bible says, he was afraid, and beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!” Peter’s faith was strong, at first. He was walking on the top of the waves just as Jesus was, but the moment he allowed himself to think rationally instead of t...

THIS IS A SPECIAL POSTING. PLEASE READ!

In addition to my daily message today, this is something very special I believe the Lord wants me to post right now! Help Me Overcome My Unbelief! As a Christian, I believe God loves me and wants the best for me. Certainly, in His Word (Psalm 103:3 NIV) the Psalmist wrote; Praise the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits – who forgives all your (my) sins and heals all your (my) diseases, who redeems your (my) life from the pit…. I know this, really I do! Still, there are times when I don’t see God actually doing what I expect Him to do; to save me from my trouble; to provide me with what I want; and to provide the healing release I expect. Before I became a Christian I really had a problem with faith, much less be able to cling to any promises God made to me; regardless of whether I was a Christian or not! Therefore, I understand how we can have moments of unbelief, or we can just flat out not trust what God has promised us. This is Satan at work, big time !  “Get...
