He will do the Same For You

Don’t be selfish.

When others move forward in health, finances, or lifestyle, rejoice with them for the same God who blessed them will bless you too.

Look at Job from the Bible. He received blessings after he prayed for his friends.

And the Lord turned the captivity of Job when prayed for his friends; also, the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before. Job 42 verse 10.

I am learning just like you, my friend, to wait and trust God. He has not forgotten you. It is just not your time, not yet, but soon.

He can do anything.

He hears our cry.

He remembers that we are fragile. We are weak humans subjected to all the powers of pain, sorrow, and loss that surround us.

We are but a speck in this vast univers, yet there is grace.

We have no power to control our destiny, whether it be good or bad.

We are subject to life as it is.

Does not God care?

Does God not understand?

Does He see all the injustice waged on us?

He promised to be present when we needed help.

He promised never to walk away from us.

He will always be near.

Nothing is hidden from him.

Am I a God at hand, says the Lord, and not a God afar off?

Can anyone hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? Says the Lord. Do not I fill heaven and earth? Says the Lord

He is a God of great mercy and compassion. 

He speaks truth, life, and love.

Oh Lord my God, how majestic is thy name in all the earth.

The Lord is worthy to be praised.

Blessings and honor are due to his name.

The Lord is high, and we will lift him up to the father and show him all his beauty.

Thine, O Lord is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty;… thou art exalted as head above all.  1 Chronicles 29 verse 11

Take with you the shield of faith so you can withstand the fiery darts of the Devil.

The Devil travels around looking for those he can mess up big time. If you are following the Lord, he does not want to make it easy for you. He springs, hoping to get his claws on you.

But if you read the Word of God faithfully and trust the Lord, your walk of faith gets easier.

When problems come, you dig deep and remember the promises He spoke to you. You call no those promises. You go over them again and again. Soon, those doubts and fears planted in your heart by the Devil will fall away.

You must have the word of God to shield you. If you don’t read the Bible, you have nothing for protection.

Adapted from Ephesians 6.

We pray for things we don’t have, or for things we need, like our health is compromised, the bank is on our tail for payments we can not make, or we desire a promotion we believe we should have.

Regardless of our reasons for praying, we know that our source is the Lord. Without Him, we can’t do anything. He gives strength. He gives means. He creates opportunities.

He is the same in the past, today, and in the future. There is no one like Him. He will never leave us or forsake us.

This is his promise.

His promises are yes. His promises are amen or so let it be.

The Lord thy God in the midst ofvthee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing.

Zechariah 3 verse 17

What a good God we serve.

We ought to remember he is not just a God of judgment because he is holy, but he is a God of love and compassion.

His love is beyond our understanding. Look how he sent his only son, the son of his love; he sent him to die so that we could be saved.

How wonderful is he.

He will not hold back anything good from his people, those same people who he loves.

O God, how long shall the adversary reproach? Shall the enemy blaspheme thy name forever?

Psalm 74 verse 10.

We live in a society where God is not the center and is therefore not important. Every day, we move among people who have no regard for the things of the Lord. There are religions that seek peace and give instructions on how to live in peace, but they do not know the true and living God. Their words will not last forever.

The answers to life lie in the word of God. Yet, no one opens the Book of books to read. If they did, they would learn the truth.

The Lord is not slack concerning his promises. Soon, he will put all things right. He will be the one all the earth will praise. Every knee shall bow, and every tongue shall  confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.

For thou art my hope, O Lord God; thou art my trust from my youth. Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength fails.

Psalm 71 verses 5 and 9.

When I am most vulnerable, the Lord will sustain me.

I will remember His love and his kindness from the time of my youth.

All my life, he will be good to me.

He is my hope, and in Him, do I put my trust.

Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in ther; and let such as love thy salvation say continually, let God be magnified.

Psalm 70 verse 5

We praise him not just for what he has done but for who he is.

Life is not always about us. We see the Lord in all his beauty.

We praise him and lift him up because he is God.

He is worthy to be praised.

Waiting on God in Hope.

When we wait on the Lord, it is not because He is slow or forgets to be kind to us. Waiting can seem very long. We do not hear or see any difference. He is not subjected to time like humans. We are born, live a little, and then we die. ( Ecclesiates 3 verse 1. To everything, there is a season.)

Time is not His enemy. It is His creation.

( Genesis 1 verse 5. The evening and the morning were the first day.) He dwells in eternity where time and the ravishes of time can never touch. Yet, God remembers what we are. He remembes we are frail creatures, and we go back to the earth as dust.

(Psalm 103 verse 14. He knows our frame and remembers we are dust.)

At the appointed time, He will come through. It will be for us perfect. We have only to trust Him.

I know it is hard. But He knows how this story ends and how it started. He is faithful.

(Isaiah 46 verse 9 to 13…

I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me. Declaring the end from the beginning, and from the ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure: I have spoken it, I will also bring it to pass; I purposed it, I will also do it. Hear me, I bring near my righteousness; it shall not be far off, and my salvation shall not tarry.)

Amen
