TRUST IN THE LORD

-
Proverbs 16:1
The preparations of the heart in man, and the answer of the tongue, [is] from the LORD.

Proverbs 16:1 (the message bible)
Mortals make elaborate plans, but God has the last word.

God created us as a mortal replica of Himself, we have the ability to make plans. However the final say is of the Lord. For no matter how much wisdom we think we have, we do not see everything.

Proverbs 16:2
All the ways of a man [are] clean in his own eyes; but the LORD weigheth the spirits.

That's where man could get it twisted, God goes deeper than the surface, He sees the heart. Furthermore He knows the end from the beginning.

So what is the best way?

Proverbs 16:3
Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established.

Proverbs 3:5-7
Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.

Yes, we could say, what of those who have NOT known the Lord, see some of them prospering and doing exploits.

Hmm

Proverbs 16:4
The LORD hath made all [things] for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil.

We need to decide whether we want God to be in charge of our life or not.

Man is never a vacuum, something always takes control. Selah

What has control over you: fear, love of money, sin, guilt, envy, pride, self, sex, addictions, tribalism, racism, lust, laziness, food, sleep, the list is endless: Say NO dear one, instead:

LET IT BE GOD, THE HEAVENLY FATHER!

You who have known the Lord, let your testimony be. . . :

Philippians 2:13
For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of [his] good pleasure.

Don't get carried away with pride, then you walk without Him.

Proverbs 16:5
Every one [that is] proud in heart [is] an abomination to the LORD: [though] hand [join] in hand, he shall not be unpunished.

Let us recommit to putting our trust in the Lord. Let nothing else take His place.

We are blessed.

Love

DO YOU STILL SEE?

-
Habakkuk 2:3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, it will not tarry. It may have been easy when we first believed, to visualize the promises. We reach out with zeal, loving God, seeking to do exploits. That was when we first believed, just as Jesus said: John 3:3 Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." When we become born again we see God's kingdom, our spirit man is reborn and we count the flesh as nothing. Then time passes by, we are in the world, all its distractions, temptations, responsibilities, challenges and so on begin to reveal themselves. The question then is: * Can we still see heaven? John 3:3 * Are we still zealous? John 2:17 * Are we continuing in those things? Acts 2:42 * Are we walking in love? 1John 4:7 or Has the cares and worries of life and service ta

DO UNTO OTHERS . . .

-
Matthew 7:12 "Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. It is hypocritical of us to expect people to stand with us when we are experiencing challenges yet when we see others face their own challenges, we begin to imagine what they must have done wrong or maybe they annoyed God or did one evil or the other instead of reaching out to help as we would desire others to do for us. The same thing goes for prosperity, when the Lord opens a door for us and we have abundance of wealth or a breakthrough we expect others to rejoice with us, more so, some would even find it hard to give to others. What is our reaction when someone else gets this breakthrough, do we get suddenly suspicious without reason. Do we expect the person to reach out to us? It is better to stay on the side of encouragement than to sit as a judge or prosecutor. Jesus said, Matthew 7:2 "For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the same

MY YEAR OF FULFILMENT

-
Psalms 57:2 I cry out to God Most High, to God who will fulfill his purpose for me. We just finished the book of 1Samuel, in this book we see the cry of Israel for a king and how God raised Saul to rule them. We also saw how Saul disobeyed God and lost kingship for himself and his generation. He did not stop there, he went on to seek for the death of David, whom he saw as the next heir of the throne. In chapter 31, the last chapter, we see how Saul and all his sons and men were killed, it was tragic, however it was as a sign of relief for David. We could go on counting all the struggles and difficulties we faced in the past year. No, we should not, we should begin to look at all the positives, remembering all the good things God has done for us. If He promised it, He will do it and that is what we hold onto as we go through this year. Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise. This is the year of fulfilment, and
