Remember, God Knows

I received a message this morning from a friend via WhatsApp, and it was so perfect and appropriate – exactly what I needed to be reminded of today. Now this is not someone who I’ve confided in, and it’s not someone with whom I regularly chat, so this person has no idea what I am feeling or experiencing at this time but, God knows. He knows what is deepest within me. 

Remember, God knows what we need and when we need it…God knows. And He can and will use anyone to deliver His messages. I feel moved to share the message I received, God’s message of love, with you…

God wants us to be seeds that fall into the good soil. Who hear the word and understand it. We need to be rooted in God's word and have a strong foundation so when we do face difficult situations we would be able to stay strong knowing that God is in control [of] our lives because God promises us in Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you", declares the Lord "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future" 

God has a perfect plan over our lives. He doesn't want us to give up. We need to have faith as small as a mustard seed and fight every battle by the grace and strength He gives us when we trust Him.

Don't doubt Him for a second. He does not want to harm us in anyway but to prosper us. Every difficulty we face in life see that as God moulding and equipping us to be stronger to be the person we need to be in the future. Have a blessed day in Jesus Christ. May God bless you abundantly.

Amen†

Take the First Step

“A person's steps are directed by the LORD. How then can anyone understand their own way?” – Proverbs 20:24 (NIV)

God directs our steps. So, if God is directing your steps, don’t you think it’s time to get to stepping? What has God been telling you to do, that up to now you’re still hemming and hawing over? 

If you’re not sure where to go, how to begin, or what you should do, then you initiate the process by stepping towards God and ask Him: “Lord, what would you have me do?” Yes, it is that simple. Ain’t life grand? 

Take the first step – ask God and He will direct your steps; He promises to tell you the way…

This is what the Lord says— your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: “I am the Lord your God, who teaches you what is best for you, who directs you in the way you should go.” – Isaiah 48:17 (NIV)

Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way; walk in it.” – Isaiah 30:21 (NIV)

Yes, God will indeed tell you the way you should go, but take the first step – go to God in prayer!

Amen†
