God's Timing ....

Napoleon Hill “Opportunity … often it comes in the form of misfortune, or temporary defeat.”

2 Timothy 4:18

'The Lord will rescue me from every evil attack and will bring me safely to His heavenly kingdom.'

To top it off I find that the Lord works in mysterious ways, I open my daily thought which Alive to God, Pastor Andrew & Vanessa Roebert, sends me each morning.  I read ‘The Lord will rescue me from every evil attack and will bring me safely to His heavenly kingdom.’  See how faithful the Lord is.  Answered me; before; I even asked Him.

Facing difficulty is not easy and I feel so sorry for people that cannot turn to the Lord our God because they don’t know Him.  There are people out there in situations that are not sure where there next meal is going to come from.  How they will pay the rent to their homes, buy food for their babies.  I know that it is daunting but I believe God is in control and will open the right doors for all of them.

My patience have worn thin and this morning I decided what does it help to constantly complain and moan and groan.  It won’t make things change, I don’t have the power to influence God to make things happen for me.  I have to trust in His good timing and believe that He has my best interest at heart.  I know I am impatient and I want things done now.  Humbling feels of helplessness can overwhelm me at times but I realise I still have an anchor in my Lord Jesus Christ.  

Take heart my friend; God’s timing is always just right.  I believe that God will lift you and me up at the right time.

Behind the scenes

Sitting in my study busying myself with this and that unaware that there are forces at work all around us.  I come into the presence of my Lord and Saviour dedicating my life back into His hands.  Another Monday morning, the months are almost over, I cannot see how things are going to work out.  In the back of my mind I know without a doubt that the Lord God is busy behind the scenes.  

Let imagine:  The trumpets blow and all the Angels gather around the thrown of God, on God’s right hand the Lord Jesus Christ is seated.  As the prayer requests pour in from all over the earth, the Angels gather them up and place them before the Lord God.  

Instructions are given to Angels to make sure that the right people come into contact with James and that he will be in the right place at the right time.  More instructions are put into place to make sure that Mary whose husband left her with 3 small children are kept safe and that a person be placed in her path that they would help her, comfort and guide her.  Giving her the right skills and building her up to look after the children.  The integrate web of information is sorted and place in the right place.  Looking down on the earth it seems that every one is searching for answers looking for something.  Sending out the right missionaries to the right places, speaking into people’s hearts and coming into their dreams.

This continues night and day, not one prayer is left unanswered.  The problem people have is we have a sense of how it should take place and when we want it answered.

God is talking to the Lord Jesus and also the Angles and prophets.

Romans 8: 28 “We know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.”

An overcomer

Psalm 37:24

The Voice (VOICE)

²⁴ And even though you trip up, you will not fall on your face
    because He holds you by the hand.

 

What an awesome God we serve.  Even though you and I trip we will not fall on our faces because God holds us by the hand.

I have to confess without God I cannot see my way forward.  Life just seems to be too difficult and the older I get the more I feel inadequate.  Looking at the people around me I realise we all need God in our lives and He can help us face each day.

Bless you today and know that even if you trip up, you won’t fall on your face because our God is an awesome God.  He holds you by the hand.

Our daily Bread

Things are not always as they seem in most people’s lives and believe me it seems the same way looking into my own life.  I must tell you that as far as I am concerned God is so faithful in supplying our ‘daily bread’ you cannot believe.

I have not been working many months and really it has been so difficult but I can tell you that not once have me or my family gone to bed without a good meal.

Exodus 16 : 4 ‘Then the LORD said to Moses, “I will rain down bread from heaven for you.  The people are to go out each day and gather enough for that day.  In this way I will test them and see whether they will follow my instructions. 3 On the sixth day they are to prepare what they bring in, and that is to be twice as much as they gather on the other days.”

Speaking to people I realised that we are all depended on our LORD God.  We can only go and say thank You for our daily Bread.  LORD God in the name of my LORD and Saviour Jesus Christ ‘Thank You.’
