When God speaks things happen. Our God is so powerful that when he spoke (Genesis 1) a world was created. Funny how God speaks to us about a situation and yet we doubt His very Word. We become so consumed by what is around us that we forget His very Word gives life. Our situation may be speaking death and destruction but His Word promises us life. So why do we trust in death and pursue it more than we trust in God's Word that gives life. We must put God's Word before I eyes daily and remind ourselves of the promises God made for us (Habakkuk 2:2-3) and trust that He Will bring His Word to pass.
Yes time, circumstances, and life does wear us down. We become exhausted, frustrated, and sometimes completely walk away form Jesus. But God promises u
s in Isaiah 40:29-31 "He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." But this promise is for those who TRUST in the Lord. Who can we compare the Lord to? Can we compare Him a life coach? the latest "Christian" Fade? our pastor? No, there is no one whose very words give life and causes a storm to cease (Mark 4:39). Whose breath caused a molded piece of mud to become a living man (Genesis 2:7).
His Word is true and always gets the job done (Isaiah 55:11). I encourage to pray God's Word instead of using latest "Christian Slang". I encourage you to speak God's Word for the edifying of others around you (Ephesians 4:29, 5:19). Husbands, wives, and children read Ephesians 5:22-33 together as a family and put it into practice. Make reading God's Word with your family more of a priority in your family. Don't just leave a legacy of education, wealth, and comfort. Leave a legacy of God's Word being taught in your family on a daily (Step to the plate Husbands and Fathers we can't argue because our wives won't submit to us if we don't submit to God, (Ouch that hurt me)). Make reading The Bible the number one priority and watch how it will bring life to a dead marriage, obedience to a stubborn child, change a poor self image to the view of God sees you. Stay focused, you can do this!
"In His JOY!"
