When troubles come, we believers can quickly become discouraged, thinking that God has forgotten or abandoned us. But the truth is, He never forgets us or overlooks our hard work for Him.
It may feel like you are not receiving reward or acclaim, but God knows your efforts of love and ministry.
Let God's love for you and His intimate knowledge of your service for Him bolster you as you face disappointment and rejection here on earth.
The truth is, whatever the situation here in this world, God is always in control and He will not allow you to be tested more than you can stand (1 CORINTHIANS 10:13).
My beloved, your good wooks and service cannot save you, nevertheless, they never go unnoticed, God sees everything. ”“Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.“
Matthew 6:19-21 NKJV).
My brethren, this world is facing troubles like never before and we are all being tested to our limits.
We have experienced man made pestilence poured out on the people of this world, forced immunisation, manipulation, unreasonable mandates, rules, and restrictions to our daily life; furthermore, our world economies are collapsing, inflation is rocketing as fuel prices reach the highest levels ever, and on top of all this, world war looms over us. The future looks bleak, and many are loosing hope.
But in all these things, God is in control; and His message today is: “Trust in the Lord, and do good; Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness. Delight yourself also in the Lord, And He shall give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord, Trust also in Him, And He shall bring it to pass. He shall bring forth your righteousness as the light, And your justice as the noonday. Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him; Do not fret because of him who prospers in his way, Because of the man who brings wicked schemes to pass. Cease from anger, and forsake wrath; Do not fret—it only causes harm. For evildoers shall be cut off; But those who wait on the Lord, They shall inherit the earth.”
Psalms 37:3-9 NKJV
My beloved, regardless of the evil things we are experiencing in this world today, keep doing good by reaching out and helping each other through their troubles. Do not fret-do not become overwhelmed by fear, but rather trust in the Lord and His faithfulness. And even while facing extreme troubles of your own, continue to share the Good News to all who have ears to listen.
Trust God, He knows your needs and He certainly hasn't forgotten you.
While you focus on helping others out of love and service to God, He will send you the right help at the right time to deal with your troubles.
He shall not forsake you or leave you orphans (JOHN 14:15-18).
David calls us to take delight in the Lord and commit everything we have to do to Him.
To delight in someone means to experience pleasure and joy in his or her presence. This can only happen when we know that person well.
To delight in the Lord, we need to know Him well. But if you are to know Him at all, you need to have a good relationship with Him.
That relationship can only come by spending quality time with Him, talking to Him, listening and learning about Him and studying His word, gaining understanding and revelation.
The truth is, much of what God wants to say to you is written in the bible, therefore make a point of reading it and putting into practice what you learn.
Ask God for understanding and revelation, and spek His word out and allow it to do what God sent it to do (Isaiah 55:11), “For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.“
Hebrews 4:12-13 NKJV
Knowledge of God's unfailing love for you will indeed give you delight.
Committing to the Lord means entrusting everything, our lives, families, jobs, and possessions to His leading and guidance, believing that He can care for us better than we can care for ourselves.
We should be willing to wait patiently for Him to act in our lives regardless of the situation (37:7).
Our Great and Almighty God hasn't forgotten you; He knows your needs and all the hard work you do; believe on Him, stand on His promises and trust him; and at the right time He will pour out his favour upon you and give you peace, His peace that surpasses all understanding and it shall guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus (PHILIPPIANS 4:4-7).
My beloved, Isaiah Prophesied an invitation to abundant life, therefore even if you don’t understand it, speak it out and receive it. For ”faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.“
Hebrews 11:1 NKJV
Isaiah told us, ”“Ho! Everyone who thirsts, Come to the waters; And you who have no money, Come, buy and eat. Yes, come, buy wine and milk Without money and without price. Why do you spend money for what is not bread, And your wages for what does not satisfy? Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good, And let your soul delight itself in abundance. Incline your ear, and come to Me. Hear, and your soul shall live; And I will make an everlasting covenant with you— The sure mercies of David. Indeed I have given him as a witness to the people, A leader and commander for the people. Surely you shall call a nation you do not know, And nations who do not know you shall run to you, Because of the Lord your God, And the Holy One of Israel; For He has glorified you.” Seek the Lord while He may be found, Call upon Him while He is near. Let the wicked forsake his way, And the unrighteous man his thoughts; Let him return to the Lord, And He will have mercy on him; And to our God, For He will abundantly pardon. “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord. “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts. “For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, And do not return there, But water the earth, And make it bring forth and bud, That it may give seed to the sower And bread to the eater, So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it. “For you shall go out with joy, And be led out with peace; The mountains and the hills Shall break forth into singing before you, And all the trees of the field shall clap their hands. Instead of the thorn shall come up the cypress tree, And instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree; And it shall be to the Lord for a name, For an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.”“
Isaiah 55:1-13 NKJV
My beloved, speak it, receive it, and believe it, in Jesus name, for God’s word cannot return to Him void, it always achieves that what God sent it to do.
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.
