God listens, now we must listen.

Good Morning,

“If I had cherished sin in my heart, the Lord would not have listened; but God has surely listened and heard my voice in prayer. Praise be to God, who has not rejected my prayer or withheld his love from me!” Psalm 66:18-20

He listens. Now we must listen.

You may have lost your job yesterday, but look up! God has something much better for you today. If your friend betrayed you last night, you were given discernment in the morning. If your husband lied and cheated, sooner or later; your heart was provoked to forgive. If a promotion went to a younger “more savvy” worker and you became angry, rejoice! Use that anger to start your own business! There isn’t one thing that doesn’t come into your life that cannot be turned around for the glory of God.  Begin to look for it in faith.  

God’s word has never told us not to do something, that we are not capable of doing.

Sometimes it can be like: “You can do this!  But, I never said it was going to be an easy trip!” 

We become a framework of love that circles around the cross. If we should wander a foot from the cross, at first we will experience a gentle nudging. If we ignore his nudging, we could fall into a pit, that makes us to look up.  Our Creator knows us inside and out. Don’t ask why an incident happened in your life. God allowed it to build His strong character inside of you. He doesn’t waste a thing in our lives.  Be thankful!  If I were to build a house, the first thing I’d look for is its strength.  He loves us, that much!

Slowly, turn yourself around and look how far the Holy Spirit has brought you from your yesterdays.  “Praise be to God, who has not rejected our prayers or withheld his love for us.” 

Let’s pray:

Heavenly Father,

Thank you Father for listening to our prayers. Thank you for not rejecting our words when we pray nor withholding your love from us. Thank you for sharpening our conscience to make our decisions fruitful. Help us to be faithful and true to what you have called us to do. Help us to learn through our weaknesses and become strong in your love. Help us to be ones who apply your word in every area of our lives. We confess your son is Lord and we pray in His name. Amen
