Be still in the presence of the LORD, and wait patiently for him to act. Don't worry about evil people who prosper or fret about their wicked schemes. Stop your anger! Turn from your rage! Do not envy others-- it only leads to harm .For the wicked will be destroyed, but those who trust in the LORD will possess the land .In a little while, the wicked will disappear. Though you look for them, they will be gone.
Psalms 37:7-10
Where is God when we are hurting, wondering if we'll survive one more day? Where is He when the troubles of this life are pressing us down? Where is He when we are at the end of our rope, barely hanging? Does He see? Does He care? Will He deliver us? How much longer must we wait? Why must we struggle when the people who don't know God seem to be getting blessed?We ask ourselves such questions all the time.
God's people are depressed because they don't trust Him. God is always ready to bless and to give abundantly; we are the ones who are not ready to receive. God urges His children to come to Him with all request but what do we do? We complain instead of approaching Him in Faith. (Firm belief that we will receive what we ask Him for in prayers). "Faith" is what moves the hand of God. There is a difference between praying, telling your father your problems instead of complaining. God wants His children to love Him and loves give birth to trust. Sadly we are unable to trust Him because we don't love him enough. We have a giving father who proves His love by sending His precious son to die. Everything His done before, He knows how to do well and He will do again for you. He has the power to do for you things He never even done before. You have a father who does not need to clone. He creates anew. He wants to do things in your life that would make your mouth drop with amazement if you would just trust Him completely.
It is the will of God for you to receive your victory in all circumstances. He already told you the outcome of your enemies (read Psalms 37 again). Have the courage to trust Him. Will you wait on Him? Wait a little longer.
Friend, we are serving the living God of Abraham, Israel and Jacob, the Almighty God who brought His people from slavery into a land of milk and honey. We are serving the God of Daniel, The King of Kings. Nothing is impossible to Him. Open the door of your heart and receive is limitless possibilities this morning. You are His child, and He loves you. Embrace His love today and be blessed. You are His favorite child. He had "you" in mind when He sent Jesus to die on the cross. He loves "you" yes even "you". He loves you that much. Let Him wrap His loving harm around you and carry you from victory to victory.
Praise the Lord!
