“But everything should be done in a fitting and orderly way.”
1 Corinthians 14:40
The word in Proverbs chpt 20 vs 24 reminds us that the steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord. In some translations, it states that the Lord directs the steps of a person. But what if the direction of God looks more confusing than the one that you are familiar with?
But then again, what if we are stuck looking at a new realm with old sight?
More and more this season, I have been faced with rising conflicts from within and the outside concerning the way in which I am to move according to word that God spoke to me a few months ago. Admittedly, I have fought harder than ever in this past year to see past blurry visions.
Many of my brothers and sisters in the Lord are in a season of tiredness. Many of them are tired of being still, tired of being patient, tired of believing and hoping for that which is near, but yet so far, tired of fighting the spiritual wars against the spirit of doubt, and many are just tired of being tired.
Where it seemed like one thing, it has turned out to be another. What looked like a promise from God has turned out to be yet another test of patience, and I see faith fighting.
And on the other hand, I see idols crashing down in front of God’s children. I see things being snatched out of the hands of those who have clung to the things of the world rather than our jealous God. Indeed, many things are falling apart because they need to be broken apart and broken through to make ways for the things of God!
Still I am compelled to remind you that it is not falling apart, but rather, falling into place.
Sacrifices are being made, heavy tears are being shed, and broken, confused hearts are being remolded yet again in this season of discipline, and I hear the Lord saying loud and clear, “Just Trust ME.”
Friend, do you hear your Father’s voice amidst all those other voices?
Can you hear the words of a faithful God, that says, “TRUST ME. I AM STILL ON THE THRONE. I CALLED YOU. I FORMED YOU. I KNOW YOU. …AND I KNOW THE PLANS I HAVE FOR YOU.”
No I don’t know exactly what you are burdened by, but I do know the pain and anguish of seeing things fall apart in front of you, and fight to still believe that it is falling into place from the perspective of Heaven.
Heaven says that God is still in control. HE still reigns, and HE holds you in the palm of His mighty Hand! You serve a God of “suddenly,” ONE that has never failed, and is always on time.
HIS will be done in Jesus name!
Know that I am praying for you.
May your mind be renewed by this word in Jesus name. May your thoughts and whole being be overwhelmed by the goodness and promises of a faithful God. May you be giving the reassurance from above that it is not falling apart but falling to place as designed by the Most High God in Jesus name. Amen.
