NOT IF BUT WHEN, PT. 2

This Message is inspired by the Reading “Walking the Line” from the Book Overcoming Darkness.

God has always shown that He is an On-Time God.  Our ability to receive God’s Favor is only limited by our measure of Faith.  When we can’t see the immediate outcome, we look to our Wisdom for results.  As we grow Spiritually, we learn our Wisdom is foolishness in God’s Sight.  We now understand when to Let Go and Let God. When we commit our ways to God, we submit to His Authority to resolve all matters that come our way. (Ecclesiastes 3:11, 1 Corinthians 3:19-20, Jeremiah 29:11)

The Question is not if God Will provide answers. The Question is When He will provide answers. A Day to the Lord is as a thousand years.  God is not limited by our Time Frame.  He always knows what is best for us and when to supply our every need (All Things Work For Our Good). When Evil surrounds us, He makes our Enemies our Footstool.  God’s Righteous are never forsaken or begging for bread. (Hebrews 3:7-15, 2 Peter 3:8, Luke 19:27, Psalm 37:25)

When we Wait Patiently on the Lord, we demonstrate our Trust that God provides our Heart’s Desires. God’s Plan is for us to have life and live life abundantly (Nothing But The Lord). God Owns and has authority over everything. When we wait Patiently, God reveals the Tools and Resources necessary to accomplish the Desires of our Heart.  He may not come when we want, but He is always on Time. (Psalm 27:14, Isaiah 49:8, Philippians 4:19, Psalms 50:7, 2 Peter 3:8)

Not if but When is the Spirit we exhibit in our daily life.  We Trust God to answer our Prayers and to supply our every need (Unyielding Faith) He is our Jehovah Jirah. Our Peace is knowing that He is faithful who promises. (James 5:15, Genesis 22:12-14, Hebrews 10:23)

WALKING THE LINE

The path of right and wrong

Is ever present and near

It’s only for those

Who have an ear to hear

When life tries to take away

Your very existence

Our human instincts

Are to fight with all resistance

Some will cross the line

And lose their way

Thank God for His judgment

To keep us on His Narrow Way

It’s a thin line

Between Love and Hate

So, of its fruits

We cannot partake

Only the strong survive

With strength and might

Love, Patience, and Kindness

Are our weapons in the fight
