HABAKKUK 2:3 – The things God plans won’t happen right away. Slowly, steadily, surely, the time approaches when the vision will be fulfilled. If it seems slow, I do not despair, for the things will surely come to pass. I will just be patient. They will not be overdue a single day.
ROMANS 4:21 – I am fully satisfied and assured that God is able and mighty to keep His word and to do what He has promised me, because I have a divine destiny to fulfill.
JEREMIAH 29:14 – I will be found by you, declares the Lord, and I will restore your fortunes and gather you from all nations and all places where I have driven you, declares the Lord and I will bring you back to the place from which I sent you to exile.
Everybody reading these may not feel like they are speaking directly to you but they are speaking directly to me. My whole attitude in life has changed and is changing daily. Every day I meet a new contact and hear some news that gives me proof that God has His hand on my life and for the first time ever in my life I feel like when God looks down on me from heaven He is smiling. Wow, what a good feeling!
Anybody ever remember what it felt like to please your parents with something when you were a kid? Well, I feel like I just ran a touch down on the kickoff of the first play of a game and my father in heaven is jumping out of his seat on the sideline hollering “That’s my boy!”. That is a great feeling. I can’t explain how I am not worried about anything at all, I mean nothing. I am more content than I have ever been. God has given me a peace that I never want to get rid of, a confidence I’ve never had, and a testimony to share. I have lived a life of self-will and often thought that I was following God. Looking back, I don’t think I was following Him. I was lying to myself and I believed it. Something “weird” has happened to me and I don’t think I’ll ever get over it. I like it. I think this is what it feels like when you are born again! If you think the first time was good and you didn’t like the smack on the butt, you have to try being born of the spirit. It’s real good stuff!
God is doing amazing things in my life today! All because I got on my knees in a jail cell in Clay County Missouri and gave it all to Him. I was tired of hurting and fighting the world. I never understood what it meant to give my life to God. As I fall short daily, I am learning like a baby to walk again. The only difference is the Father in heaven is holding my hand and like every new born learning to walk, I feel safe when I can hold my daddy’s finger. If God can turn an empty space into a world, a galaxy, a living creation, He can fix the troubles in your life too :) Give Him a shot!
Prayer
Father God, thank you for sending your son to Earth to pay for my sins. And thank you for all you are doing in my life. I never knew it could be so good. In Jesus name, Amen
Thoughts:
I can’t see them all today but all the plans I have discussed with you all lately are coming to pass. They are developing and I am excited. I’m going to continue riding shotgun because it appears God has done more for me in 5 or 6 months than I did for myself in 42 years. What’s your record look like?
