TODAY’S SCRIPTURE

“Lord, my heart is
not haughty, nor my eyes lofty. Neither do I concern myself with great

TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria
|
|
When things happen in your
life that you don’t plan, do you find yourself trying to reason it all out or
look for a “file” so to speak in your mind to put it in? What happens when
you can’t reason it out or make sense of it all?
Here’s the answer: Every one
of us needs to create a file in our thinking called the “I Don’t Understand
It” file. When things come up that don’t make sense, things that you can’t
figure out, instead of getting frustrated or confused, put it in your “I
Don’t Understand It” file and leave it alone. If you go through life trying
to figure out why something bad happened or why things didn’t work out, it
will cause you to become bitter and stuck in life. Part of trusting God means
trusting Him when things don’t make sense because we know that His plan is
always for good. We have to know that He will reveal all things in His time —
even if that means in eternity.
Is there something that
didn’t make sense in 2012 that you know you need to file away? Choose to
trust God. Choose to keep moving forward. Know that He loves you, He is for
you, and He has a great plan for your future!

Trusting God – Do you have faith –? What is faith – faith gives substance to the things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. So how is ones faith tested –? When the going gets tough do we abandon our God – do we jump ship because we are “going through” The answer is NO , as Christians we must keep the faith – even when it does not look good or feel good – you have to know its working for the good – you must learn the lesson – the season of testing – your harvest season is over – it’s time for reaping your reward – you stood the good fight - they lied on you, they cheated on you, they ignored you, your finances fell so below it’s a wonder you are still standing- and yet through it all you kept harvesting and trusting – storing up on his word and planting good seeds. The bible says : Ecclesiastes 3:1-22 - For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven: a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to pl...
