God’s Ways

We will not always understand His prerogative

 In (Isaiah 55:8) God says, “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, and my ways are not your ways.” Therefore, we can’t always understand why God allows certain things to happen or why He heals some and not others. What we can know is He will use whatever our circumstances are in our lives to good for us (Romans 8:28.)

We have heard many times how the apostle Paul suffered an affliction which he prayed fervently for God to heal yet God didn’t remove that affliction. Maybe you have prayed similar prayers for your own healing or healing for someone else and didn’t see favorable results. Admittedly, it is tough to understand why God isn’t allowing our healing to happen after we have fervently prayed and exhibited faith. God is aware of our concerns, this I know and we must trust Him!

What God did in Paul’s life was; through His glorious will and ways He brought Paul’s life into focus when Christ revealed to him: “My grace is sufficient for you, for my strength is made perfect in weakness” (2 Corinthians 12:9.) Paul replied, “Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me” (verse 9).

Do you want God’s healing? Take stock of your life -- consider where you are now in your relationship with Him. Ask yourself if the choices you are making are in harmony with His will, and then pray for Him to show you any corrections He may want you to make. Ask Him to restore your health or your situation to that which is His divine will for you. Repent from any anger or bitterness you may have toward Him.

God can give you your peace, joy and release your anxiety when you depend on His Word and pray to Him. Pray continually for it is His desire that you do.

Our Walk With God

“Listen, my son, accept what I say, and the years of your life will be many. I guide you in the way of wisdom and lead you along straight paths. When you walk, your steps will not be hampered, when you run, you will not stumble” (Proverbs 4:10-12). Our lives are built upon our first step, and   then proceed step after step after step thereafter. As infants we learn to crawl, then stand and eventually to walk to the waiting hands of our proud fathers and mothers. Our walking skills can develop into running skills; some of us will go on to run races, some will even run long distance marathons, but it all begins first with our desire to walk. The Lord tells us to listen to what He says to us through His Holy Spirit and the years of our lives will be many; as we go through life, our steps will not be hampered; when we hurry through our impossible daily schedules and race through our lives, we will not stumble.   All successful runners have a professional trainer, our trainer is ...

Breaking The Silence

The house is quiet, the dogs are asleep, and my wife is gone for the morning running her errands. The lonely silence gives our home a feeling of emptiness that seems to cry for noise or activity of some kind. What do I do to fill this void? I could turn on the TV – not much on this time of day though. I know; I’ll put on a CD. How about a little "Stones.", ZZ Top or perhaps some Van Halen; all good driving music, but what makes us feel like we have to fill the silence of our homes with noise or some other distraction? Is it because we fear loneliness? We miss a tremendous opportunity to have an intimate relationship with God at times like I just mentioned if we choose earthly substitutes instead of a Spiritual involvement with our Creator. God created us to be involved with Him, to have a yearning for His awesome presence. No music, TV or hobby can truly fill the voids we feel when we are alone. Only He can satisfy our need. Yet, don’t we try to keep busy and fill the airwa...
