Just a quick note to remind you...
When you are feeling like nothing is working like it should;
And the prayers you prayed to change them
Didn't feel particularly anointed;
It is time to begin to talk!
Not to others, but to your own soul.
Ask your soul, "What is your problem?"
Tell your soul to quiet down and listen!
" I serve the God of Abraham!"
What does that mean?
The God who led Abraham and kept his promise to Abraham,
Even though there was no book to read or map to follow.
"I serve the God of Isaac."
God kept his promise to Isaac,
Even though he Isaac was not as bold and forceful as his father had been.
"I serve the God of Jacob."
He kept his word to Jacob...
Even though he couldn't because,
Jacob was not the firstborn son.
Jacob was not his father's favorite.
Jacob was not as strong as strong as the brother who was.
Jacob was a weasel and a cheat.
And somehow, by letting Jacob be the victim
Of the same kind of schemes he pulled on others,
God changed Jacob from a schemer to a Man of Trust
And a praying man who prevails over his circumstances,
And a Prince with God, named Israel!
Wow!
Now, memorize this passage from Hebrews 13.7,8.
"Never forget the leaders,
Who first spoke to you the Word of God.
Remember how they lived and imitate their faith.
Jesus Christ is always the same (to you, as he was to them)
Yesterday, today, and for ever."
Then, remind your own soul of all the times
That things seemed dire, dark and,
That you felt completely alone.
And you prayed then and God came through.
Walk through it all again in your mind,
And quietly give thanks.
Thank you, Lord!
Thank you for what you did.
Thank you for bringing me through.
Thank you for breaking the sin habits
That used to seem would never be broken.
Wow. Wow. Amazing!
I worship you for who that situation in my life revealed you to be.
Now, remember and worship His Name.
He told Moses, "I Am."
Tell them "I Am" sent me.
Because, if that is who He was,
That is Who He still Am (Is)!
Now go do what you must today.
Praising God each step of the way.
Knowing he will see you through;
So live your faith in all you do.
Praise... the... Lord!
