” Be still in the presence of the Lord and wait patiently for him to act.” Psalm 37:7
As humans we sometimes become very anxious. We have a hard time waiting for things to happen. We have a tendency to want to do things our way and do it now. When this happens, we often find ourselves in situations that are hard to get out of. If we do as our Lord directs us, we will find that our situations turn out to benefit us and not hinder us. When we know what the bible tells us, and when we believe that it is true, honorable and just, we will benefit from its wisdom. Our bibles give us all of the information we need to survive in the world. It not only gives us information to survive but to also prosper in this life and the next. God’s Word gives us hope, peace of mind and the ability to overcome the most difficult situations we may face. It gives us strength, tells us what to do and what not to do, and it gives us the road map to a solid relationship with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! We are shown how to live, how to speak and how to relate to those around us. However, it is up to you and me to put these instructions into action. It is up to us to not only hear the Word but to do what the Word tells us. It is important to know His ways, but they do us no good if we do not live them. In our relationships with Christ Jesus, we must develop a solid trust and faith in what he tells us. As we begin to trust in his ways, we should also begin to put our trust into practice. We must begin to listen to that little voice called the Holy Spirit and do as he leads us. We must dig down deep and be alert to his voice and his ways. By knowing Jesus, we are better able to hear the voice of the Holy Spirit and know without a doubt that his instructions are true. I can say without doubt that the inner voice of the Holy Spirit will always agree with the ways of Christ. They will never disagree! If we forget, it is always wise to fact check by going back into the Holy Word of God and find out what he says about our situation. We should at all times be praying before we make big decisions in our lives. Remember, if our God is for us then who can be against us? We must always stay close to Jesus and listen to the leading of the Holy Spirit. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
