We are His servants not our own...
Aug 7, 2024
Love and fearing God is not always going to FEEL good.....it's not always going to MAKE SENSE....to our senses..
But.....
When the situations we are in become hard and the temptations are to run away from the pain to find relief, when emotions and desires are louder then wisdom, it will be our fear for the Lord and our love for Him to obey Him despite how we feel, despite the emotions despite the loudness of our own desires if we scream "I want out" "I don't want to do this Lord" and He says "You must" we deny ourself loving Him more then loving ourselves bow our head and say "YES LORD"... and we push on knowing that though it's difficult, though it's hard, we can TRUST Him when He says STAY when we want to Go, He knows better....this will call for the endurance of God's people learning to FULLY rely on God's strength and not their own since they know they can't do the task being asked of them in their own ability, this will call for God's people BY FAITH, bowing to the King saying "YES LORD, here I am...." tears falling, flesh dying, all our plans being laid at His feet, standing up grabbing His hand, closing our eyes and letting Him lead the way, as we cry out for strength to never let go of His will, pleading for the strength to do His will and not our own!!!
This will take TRUSTING Him more than anything, even yourself!
May the Lord GRANT US strength, pure hearts, thankful hearts, and love for Him, love for Jesus, love for the Holy Spirit more than we love anything else....!
