Hello,
It has been a while.
I have been thinking today a lot about the past and what has gone before. So today i dug out a box of my old prayer journals and began to read.
Now i can be very self critical at times and wonder why things aren’t as they were, and wonder what i have missed and what happened to all those prophesees and words that i have had on my life? Where did the expectancy go?
Some promises I have seen and others i can’t even imagine how they would come about. Then came all the questions…
What did i miss?
Where did i go wrong?
Why are things so different now?
As i sat there confused, perplexed and frustrated at my self, for not being all i could be and maybe missing out on the fullfillment of all that God has promised, I realised something, What I was saying and how i was talking didn’t describe my GOD…
My God in whom all things are possible, My God in whom no word or promise returns void, My God in whom nothing and no-one gets forgotten about.
This for me is where my battle begins, my fight to seek God all the more, to pray fervently into these promises and words, to quietly listen to the shepherd’s voice as I look for direction.
Today I thank God for His beautiful word and his wonderful promises.
If you are feeling forgotten or perplexed with things today here are some verses to see you pick yourself up, dust yourself off and fight to see His word made flesh in you!
Matthew 6:30-33
The Message (MSG)
30-33“If God gives such attention to the appearance of wildflowers—most of which are never even seen—don’t you think he’ll attend to you, take pride in you, do his best for you? What I’m trying to do here is to get you to relax, to not be so preoccupied with getting, so you can respond to God’s giving. People who don’t know God and the way he works fuss over these things, but you know both God and how he works. Steep your life in God-reality, God-initiative, God-provisions. Don’t worry about missing out. You’ll find all your everyday human concerns will be met.
2 Peter 1:4
New Living Translation (NLT)
4 And because of his glory and excellence, he has given us great and precious promises. These are the promises that enable you to share his divine nature
Romans 12 11:-13
The Message (MSG)
11-13Don’t burn out; keep yourselves fueled and aflame. Be alert servants of the Master, cheerfully expectant. Don’t quit in hard times; pray all the harder. Help needy Christians; be inventive in hospitality.
Philippians 1:6
New International Version (NIV)
6 being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.Psalm 36:5-6
The Message (MSG)
5-6 God’s love is meteoric,
his loyalty astronomic,
His purpose titanic,
his verdicts oceanic.
Yet in his largeness
nothing gets lost;
Not a man, not a mouse,
slips through the cracks.
