TODAY’S SCRIPTURES: “I will not fail you or abandon you. Be strong and courageous. ” Joshua 1:5&7—- ” They that wait upon the Lord will find a new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint.” Isaiah 40:31
TODAY’S MESSAGE: When we commit to follow the Lord, we have committed to do just that, follow. I have found, in my life, that it is very easy to do my thing and not that of the Lord. As a human upon this earth, I like to be in control and do things my way and on my timeline. When we follow the ways of Jesus we must change our thought process. We must become servants and not of those being served. We must become patient and be able to wait upon the Lord. The term “wait” in Isaiah means to “love” the Lord. To be able to love the Lord we must have faith and be willing to listen to him and do as he would like for us to do. When we don’t, we often find ourselves in deep water struggling to get out. When this happens, we begin demanding the Lord help us instead of asking for his help. We forget that it is He who has all the control. It is He who has the answers to our problems. When we struggle through life, we find ourselves to be overanxious and not patient. We want our struggles resolved instantly and are unwilling to wait for our Lord to work in our lives. When we ask Jesus to help us, we must be patient and slow down and wait for him to do his work. When he helps us, he does it on his timeline and not ours. We must be strong in our faith knowing that he is our answer. We must realize just because we have struggles and problems, that we have gotten ourselves into, it is at the Lord’s convenience and on his time schedule that we will receive the answer. So, the next time you are having difficulties and ask Jesus for his help, don’t become discouraged when your answer may be delayed. Instead, continue to thank him for the answer and wait patiently on your Lord Jesus! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL SITUATIONS!
