Boy is That Hard to Do

 Wait patiently for the Lord. Be brave and courageous. Yes, wait patiently for the Lord. Psalm 27:14 New Living Translation Bible

Boy is that hard to do, wait patiently.

There has been a few times when while being unfairly severely abused the Lord told me to wait patiently and things will swing my way while the perpetrators will receive just punishment from the Lord. It took about three years of being brave and courageous and not giving up before what the Lord revealed to me came to pass. It is heartening to see the wait was worth it but heartache to watch the perpetrators receive their just rewards (and they still are).

I always thought myself to be a patient man, until becoming a Christian. Joseph a son of Jehovah

Boy is that ever rewarding to do, wait patiently.

There has been a few times when it just did not seem worth it to continue on in the path the Lord had requested that be taken. Having faith is what carried me through. Then it seemed as if things were happening rapid fire as the blessing multiplied one after another as had been promised.

“If we wait upon God, there is no danger. If we rush on, He must let us see the consequences of it.” — John Darby

Prayer: I thank you Jehovah Emunah (God is faithful) that You are always faithful to do as You promise to do in Your time and in Your way. I thank you for teaching me to be patient because Your timing and Your mannerism is far superior to mine. I laud You in the name of He who made the supreme sacrifice for me at just the right time in just the right manner Jesus Christ. Amen

Christ blesses us with love, peace and joy. May you be blessed with many opportunities to share these with others today.   

May He Produce in You.

 

“May he equip you with all you need for doing his will. May he produce in you, through the power of Jesus Christ, every good thing that is pleasing to him.” Hebrews 13:21 New Living Testament                                                                               

Where are you gonna go to get the best equipment to do your job?                               

Why He who made it of course.                                                                                            

That means Jesus. Not only will He supply you with the proper equipment but the proper instructors to teach you how to use the equipment.                                            

What job are you talking about you may ask?                                                                     

Well. The job Christ has prepared for you to do of course.                                                

Think of it okay?                                                                                                                        

When you get hired at a company you do so because they have a specific job just for you to do.                                                                                                                          

Now, if Jesus is our king that means we are His servants.                                                 

How is the servant to know what the king wants him or her to do?                              

They must wait for the king to give them the job that is the kings intention for the servant to do.                                                                                                                          

Prayer: Please guide me to where You intend for me to be to do what You intend for me to do my love. As well I humbly beseech You to bless me with the proper tools and instructors to teach me how to use those tools. I meekly request this in the name of He who had all the right tools when He walked amongst us Jesus Christ. Amen.                                                                                                                        

May the sunshine of Jesus’ sweet love bless you today and every day.

We Are to Use It

Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms. 1 Peter 4:10 New International Version

Yes, Jesus is our Savior, but He is also our king.

As such, does that not make us His servants?
And what do servants do?

They serve right?

Who determines where the servant is to serve?

The King right?

So if the servant wants to take care of the Kings garden but the King wants them to serve cleaning His toilets what are we His obedient servants to do?

Clean the toilets right?

So too it is to be with us.

Instead of going off half cocked using the hit and miss technique (you know, I will just go out and do what I think Jesus wants me to do and if it is not right I will just keep searching until I find what I think He wants me to do) is it not better to wait, pray and seek guidance on where the King wants us to serve?

Now just because He wants you to serve here today does not mean He may not want you to serve somewhere else tomorrow.

In my walk in servant hood I have served in various fields such as medicine, teacher and writer.

Prayer: Thank you Jesus Adonai (Jesus our king) for the special privilege of serving You in my daily life. I thank you in Your majestic name. Amen.

May the sunshine of Jesus’ sweet love bless you today and every day.
