The message to the beloved Children of God - God is always on time!

In honor of Black History Month, known also as African-American History Month in America. Everyday we will have a study on Black History and God's love. Let us read the story about, James Earl Jones .

                                                   James Earl Jones

                                              Turned Fear Into Fame
                                        Fear -- Feel It and Keep Moving

Many of us allow our fear to stop us in our tracks. All it takes is a less than encouraging word, a negative facial expression, or a less than positive opinion, and we give up before we even get started. We're afraid of:

• the word “no” because it means failure
• the word “yes” because it means responsibility
• the disapproving look because it means rejection
• the whispers and grins because they mean judgment, and
• the absence of support because it means abandonment

Let's look at these five catalysts to failure and how they can be overcome. His first day of school was a disaster. His stuttering made his classmates laugh at him. It was the final straw for a frightened little boy. He closed his mouth and simply quit talking… for eight years! James Earl was completely mute – with the exception of conversations he had with himself when he was all alone. He found solace in the written word – creating poetry to release the raging in his soul. As is often the case, one person who saw beyond his limitations released James Earl from his self-imposed prison. That one person was an English teacher who saw talent in the silent 13-year-old. She pushed him beyond his fear by forcing him into public speaking – insisting he recite a poem in front of the class every day. Understand this message, we are overcomers.

Read Habakkuk 2:1-3, I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved. And the Lord answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. 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. We must wait on God's appointed time. We can rely on His (God's) timing and depend on His word, He is always on time. Nothing just happens, God has a plan for your life, trust His timing and give thanks. He is never late! There is always a reason for everything God does. The Bible doesn’t say that everything that happens to us will be good. It says in everything give thanks for this is the will of God concerning you. What’s the will of God concerning you? That in everything we give thanks, that’s the will of God concerning you. Read I Thessalonians 5:18 says, In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. It says that in it, through it, and beyond it, God is in control and He will work it out for your good. Read Romans 8:28, "For we know that all things work together for good for them that love the Lord and are called according to His purpose. We are the beloved children of God, we are overcomers by the blood of the lamb. Heavenly Father, let us learn to trust your word. For you are always with us, your children. For it is written in Proverbs 3:5-6, 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. Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !
