How much can God trust you?
17 And the Lord said, shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do; 18 Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him? 19 For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the Lord, to do justice and judgment; that the Lord may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him, Genesis 18:17-19.
Throughout our spiritual life span (AAC/after accepting Christ) we have been given countless opportunities to show forth our faithfulness to God through Christ Jesus. We’ve experienced test after test after test. Our Scripture reference confirms the very word my Pastor (Rev. Tim Dates) spoke on this past Sunday concerning the promises of God revealed to His prophets (Amos 3:7). God will show us the promise, but may leave out most of the things that are designed to mature our character and strengthen our faith. We tend to view them as setbacks or attacks. But remember, God said ALL things will work together for good, even those things. The promises give us hope while we’re going through and waiting on them to manifest in the natural.
Where are you in your walk with God? Can He trust you enough to share His plan for your life or will you get discouraged and give up or possibly even quit? Do you even love Him enough to accept His plan for your life? Think about it and be honest with yourself.
Honestly!
Your thoughts?
If I am truly honest with myself I can say that I am sometimes afraid of what I think HIS plan for my life is. I don't know HIS plan and yes when I think about what it could possibly be I want to say why. I then think about all that JESUS gave for me and say why not. During the week of Easter and after I watched "The Passion" and wept as I watched how Mel Gibson depicted the brutal beating of Jesus. If Jesus could do that for a sinner like me why can't I go through the sorrow, heartache and pain for Him. It is nothing in comparison. So I must remind myself that HONESTLY I want my walk with God to be what ever HIS will is. If that consists of going through then so be it.
ReplyDeleteExcellent. It's not always easy to stay the course even when we do know His plan for us, but like you said, after the price Jesus paid for us, that awesome sacrifice, we should be desparatly seeking the will of our Father like never before; simply to be obedient, just as Jesus did. Thanks so much for your comment.
