Be Grateful God has Done Great Things

admin — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 22:01:02 +0000

God has been good to us. What are some of the things that he has done for you? When we remember the great things that he has done in our lives, we will find a place where our faith begins to be renewed. The more I thank God for what he has already done the more God will take care of things I am presently facing.

Psalm 77:11
I will remember the deeds of the LORD; yes, I will remember your miracles of long ago.

It is faith that moves the hand of God on our behalf not the circumstances that surround our lives. Take a moment to recall some of the great things that God has done in your life. Find those situations from the past where God proved his promise that he would never leave you. Trust God today with every area of your life. He loves you! He can handle all of our difficulties.

Where is Your faith

Recently a good friend of mine looked me square in the eyes and said: “Where is your faith”? This comment came after I had expressed my need for prayer in relation to my concerns about not having enough work for the upcoming week to meet the needs in my life. Afterward I thought of how Jesus in Matthew 4: 36 said: “You of little faith, why are you so afraid?”

Romans 8:31
If God is for us, who can be against us?

God just wants us to trust him. The concept of faith is simple: give your troubles to God and trust that he cares for you enough to see you through the difficult times. The result may not turn out the way that we wanted it to, but all things work for the good in the lives of those who love God.

Don’t Let Your Heart be Troubled or Afraid, Just Trust God

John 4:27

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

Jesus is speaking about simple faith in this verse. Just trust God with your life today. Don’t complicate things by worrying. Do not be troubled about all the affairs in life and do not fear. The Lord has promised to never leave us or forsake us. Revelations 19:11 declares that the Lord’s name is Faithful. Rest in God today and give him all of your cares because he cares for you. Trust in the Lord and he will direct your steps. With God on our side, there’s no need to be afraid. He just wants us to trust Him.

Prayer: “God help me to trust you with all of the things that I am troubled about.”

Waiting on God

Isaiah 64:4
Since ancient times no one has heard, no ear has perceived, no eye has seen any God besides you, who acts on behalf of those who wait for him.

Luke 24:49
I am going to send you what my Father has promised; but stay in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high.”

When waiting for good things from God to happen in my life, there are a few things that I do. First, I continually bring my request before him in prayer. I also try to live my life as the Bible instructs by seeking the Lords kingdom first. If I am truly trying to die to myself and live for Christ, I know that I am in the will of God. This makes the process of waiting easier. Romans chapter eight verse 28 says: “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” God suddenly shows up in great ways in our lives when we keep trusting him and waiting for his perfect timing to make things happen. When we keep our focus on loving the Lord with all of our heart, soul, and strength he will lead us.

Follow Jesus-Walking In Light

John 8:12
Jesus spoke to the people once more and said, “I am the light of the world. If you follow me, you won’t have to walk in darkness, because you will have the light that leads to life.”

Never forget this from today into eternity, the path of Jesus is the best one to walk on in this life. Trust him with your life no matter what! At times we may not know if we are going in the right direction, but if we choose to try and follow his steps every day, then we are on the right path. It is when we stop seeking after him daily, that we begin to walk in darkness. When we keep our eyes fixed on him through prayer, Bible reading, worship and fellowship with other serious Christians, then we are doing our best to commit our way to his leading. When we surrender our lives to him in this way, we begin to experience a real relationship with a living God. That’s when, we just know that we know, no matter what, we are going to be OK. Please read the scripture again.
