The wise will stumble...

"Some of the wise will stumble so that they may be refined, purified, and made spotless until the time of the end, for it will still come at the appointed time." 

-Daniel 11:35

When we seem to always stumble and fall short of the God's glory it only means that we are being beautified, edified, quantified, and justified, by His great might and power.  

So embrace the stumbles, for you are being purified and made spotless, my friend!  Yes, you are God's glory!

Visions and answers from God

“… and I will watch to see what answer He will say within me and what answer I will make [as His mouthpiece]… Though it tarry, [I] wait [earnestly] for it, because it will surely come; it will not be behindhand on its appointed day.” Adapted from Habakkuk 2:1,3 AMP

Ask God! Yes, ask Him for everything you need and/or want; choices you need to make, directions you want to go, or plans you should make for your future.  Yes, ask Him what He has put you here to do.  Then, be patient, be determined to hear, and remain faithful to Him in all things – your answer will come, and you will know, without a shadow of a doubt, it is His answer for you. Once He does answer your call, make sure to write it down, and put it in a safe spot; it will bring renewed joy, strength, and awe to you years down the road.  As well, it will keep you on the right path if you begin to tire out in the wait.

Friends, He has amazing feats for you to conquer, He has amazing feats for every one of us to conquer, BUT we have to be willing to wait, willing to listen, and willing to follow.  Although it be hard and tiresome at times, and we feel like we are getting nowhere, He’s working, and His timing will be more than perfect!

Is God trying to get your attention?

“Now the Lord had prepared and appointed a great fish to swallow up Jonah…” Jonah 1:17

Have you ever found yourself in a situation asking, “How in the world did I get myself into this?  Why is this happening?” If so, then instead of trying to figure it out on your own, maybe you should ask God.  There could be a darn good chance that He is trying to get your attention, and putting you in a desperate situation is the only way He could get you out of yourself long enough to call on Him.  Take some time with God, and see what He places in your heart; maybe you’ve been trying to avoid something, or someone, you know you need to confront, or tell the truth about something your hiding, or even being bold enough to take a huge step of faith?? Essentially, is there something that you know God wants you to do, but you aren’t doing it?

I believe the reason we find ourselves in peculiar, stressful, hard-pressed situations, is so that we finally cry out to God!  Friends, God loves us so much, and when He places thoughts, actions, etc., on our hearts, He wants us to take action – obey!  So, before you get into a desperate situation, do what God is telling you to do – life will be so much more peaceful and blessed.  However, if you are currently in a hopeless, desperate situation, then don’t worry!  Grab hold to God, repent, and thank Him for caring for you enough to get your attention.  From there, as you walk forward with Him, His amazing glory and grace will thrust you from the depths of darkness, onto the mountain tops on high!  Your desperation will soon come to an end!

Joy, gladness, and singing

“And He brought forth His people with joy, and His chosen ones with gladness and singing.” Psalm 105:43

 

We are God’s people; we are hand-picked by Him! Thus, through all the challenges that we face and every obstacle we endure, we can remain at peace, knowing that we will joyfully conquer any obstacle, with gladness in our hearts and singing on our lips.

Praise God Almighty ~ Hallelujah.
