The word for today is - Journey !

Good morning,

The word for today is - Journey !

 

The Bible tells us that when you are born again (Spiritually born) you are now a new creations in Jesus Christ. Before you can really move forward into the divine destiny that God has in store for you in this life, you first must let go of things that may have occurred in your past. You see your on a new journey,when God wants to take you somewhere, He may take you on the long path instead of a shortcut. Why, because He knows the plans that He has for your life. Read Jeremiah 29:11,For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. When you and I got saved we had habits and thought patterns that were of this world. When we got saved those thought patterns and habits came with us. Sometimes God will take us on a long journey, inorder for a delay. Why, because,God uses the delays in our life to break those habits and thought patterns to train us into His way of thinking and doing things. When on your journey a delay comes up don't faint, and don't be afraid. Why? Because,God uses delays to get us ready for those difficult times that we are going to face during the course of our journey. These delays are designed to strengthen our faith and make us stronger. God uses delays to test us and see how we will respond under pressure and to test our loyalty and obedience to Him. The best thing to do when you are in God's waiting on the Lord is be patient and let God do His work in your life. The word of God says, "I will always be with you",you need to focus on God's presence. There will never be a time in your life when God is not with you, you must walk by faith not by sight. Now read Romans 8:38-39, For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. God responds to faith not fear learn to trust God in the delays in your life. Read Matthew 11:28-30,Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.  When we try to take matters into our own hands we get in trouble. The word tells us to pray, read Luke 18:1,And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint. What do you pray during the delay phases of life? You pray to our Heavenly Father, ask Him to "Help you hold on and not to give up" on your journey. The Bible says, "They that wait upon the Lord, shall renew their strength. They shall mount up with wings, as eagles. They shall run and not be weary. They shall walk and not faint." When you are on a journey for the Lord, you won't give up,you just keep on keeping on, its about God's timming. Read Habakkuk 2:3, For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry. Slowly, steadily, surely, the time approaches when the vision will be fulfilled, and your journey will surely come to pass. Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !
