“…and the floodgates of Heaven were opened…” (Gen. 7:11)
What hindrances, or personal situations (issues),
are you trying to control? Better yet, what personal situations or
issues are trying to control you? Why do we try so hard to control
situations, things, people, hindrances, etc., etc.,
when God has already got them figured out? Hmmm??? Well, the only
answer I could think of was because we get impatient waiting on the good
Lord and we begin to ‘help’ Him out and do it a bit quicker. Boy, what
a disaster it can become!
Waiting on God can be gut wrenching at times, but I
don’t think nearly as gut wrenching as we what happens when we try to
do the ‘un-doable’ ourselves. A lot of us try to control; try to figure
things out on our own. There comes a point
when we truly need to find the strength to hold to God in tough issues,
situations, hurts, pains…challenges and see it through to the glory
that Christ has waiting for us.
If you are ready to see something through then
let’s give God ALL of who we are, along with the baggage we’ve created
for ourselves, and see what happens. Let’s DO IT. It is time to stay
on track, see His will through. I’m ready to hold
on, and I’m not letting go! What about you?
Today, take one scary step: eat something that is
on your, ‘no-no’, list; take a day off from exercising; put your calorie
calculator down for the day; throw away the labels to everything you
decide to eat; and/or whatever is taking away
your joy of living. We won’t worry until tomorrow
this time, we are going to focus on today. Yes, Satan will put dark
thoughts, people, voices, etc., in your path (or in your head) but
remember it is only because we are so used to following him right
now…IGNORE
him. Each time we ignore Satan and take a step forward toward Christ
then, little by little – from glory to glory, we will hear Him louder
and louder. Soon, we will be deaf to Satan and his helpers. Taking
steps toward God will only make us come out stronger,
more alive, more confident, than ever before.
We can do this. We can push through the darkness,
because soon, “…the floodgates of Heaven”, in our personal lives will be
opened!! Yes!! Praise God. Oh, and don’t forget ~~
put your lifejacket on :-)
