Don’t do this…..

Anyone who intends to come with me has to let me lead. You’re not in the driver’s seat—I am. Don’t run from suffering; embrace it. Follow me and I’ll show you how. Self-help is no help at all. Self-sacrifice is the way, my way, to finding yourself, your true self. What good would it do to get everything you want and lose you, the real you? If any of you is embarrassed with me and the way I’m leading you, know that the Son of Man will be far more embarrassed with you when he arrives in all his splendor in company with the Father and the holy angels. This isn’t, you realize, pie in the sky by and by. Some who have taken their stand right here are going to see it happen, see with their own eyes the kingdom of God.  – Jesus

Luke 4:23-27 Message

Winning

finishwhathestarted

Wait patiently for the LORD. Be brave and courageous.

Yes, wait patiently for the LORD is faithful.

– Psalm 27:14

 

God does not change.

We know that right?

So then why do we so easily forget that God is faithful to finish the work that He began in us?

It is so easy to talk a good “faith” game when all is well.

Yet, when the rubber meets the road, when bills are due, when the baby is just about to need a new pair of shoes, or when life just pain throws us a curve, we too easily revert back to the  person who thinks that by worrying or talking about our problems we are somehow fixing them, making them better.

And there is God.

Waiting patiently for us to turn back to Him.

Hand Him all of our worries and cares.

So that He can finish what he started.

What is it that you are waiting on God for?

Weather your “something” is big or small, remember that it is not your job to fix “it”.

It is your job to hand “it” to God, follow his lead, and wait patiently until he does.

He is Faithful!!!

He is Capable!!

He sees YOU!!!

He will not let you down.

Trust Him with Everything and be Free!!!

Just sow

A farmer does not wrest the plant from the seed. He sows the seed and leaves the result to God. If God’s people are faithful in sowing the seed, God will be faithful in giving the harvest.- Herschel H. Hobbs

Faith is not just…

Faith is not just about being faithful; it’s also about trusting in God’s faithfulness.
