Have you ever been embarrassed by things going on in your
life beyond your control? Have you ever hit what seems like rock bottom?
Have you ever been depressed or angry at the world for your circumstances? At
some point in my life, I’ve answered yes to each of these questions. There
have been times I’ve cried out asking “Why Me?” “What did I do
to deserve this?” “How will I ever come out of this?”
Today my voices are REJOICING… Rejoicing for the favor that God will make evident in my life! Rejoicing for my obedience that allowed a message from him to be revealed to me! Rejoicing for the everlasting joy that will be mine!
Until Next Time...
Yesterday, my friend sent me a text saying I should
thank God every day for the loyalty and faithfulness I’ve been blessed with.
Then, this morning as I was reading my morning word, I read a scripture
and all I could do was smile. I smiled because I can clearly see that
scripture unfolding in my life. Maybe, if I wouldn’t have gotten that
text from my friend, I would have missed a sign from God letting me know he has
my best interest at heart and every bad thing is in the process of being
corrected. So, if you are in a difficult, embarrassing or painful
situation, I want you to find comfort in the following scripture:
Isaiah 61:7 - Instead of your shame you will
receive a double portion, and instead of disgrace you will rejoice in your
inheritance. And so you will inherit a double portion in your land, and
everlasting joy will be yours.
Now to answer the questions that bog our minds at many
times:
"Why me?"
- No one is exempt; sometimes we need reminders of this. And whom better than a
child of God? God does not allow us to travel a road he can’t guide us
on. You have to believe in yourself as God believes in you. You have to
remember you may simply be reaping what you’ve sown. But, it’s never too
late to change soil.
“What did I do to deserve this?” - God does NOT
put us through difficult times, he ALLOWS us to go through them to see if our
test will become a testimony for his glory or a reason for us to stop believing
and trusting in his word.
“How will I ever come out of this?” - Don’t give
up! Don’t give in! And NEVER let them see you sweat…unless you’re working
out! Believe in God, Trust in his Word and STOP questioning your
circumstances. You MUST have Faith that you’ll pull through.
Remember, deliverance from most situations is not
instant. In order to accomplish anything in life it takes a plan, time,
preparation and execution! With God each are possible to accomplish! You have
to Believe it and Speak it, to Receive it!Today my voices are REJOICING… Rejoicing for the favor that God will make evident in my life! Rejoicing for my obedience that allowed a message from him to be revealed to me! Rejoicing for the everlasting joy that will be mine!
Until Next Time...
