From the Pastor's Pen

“BE ENCOURAGED”

Proverbs 3:5,6

“Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own
understanding.  6) In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.”

Sometimes things in our daily walk of life will become unmanageable. They begin to seem too hard to bear alone. This is when we need to ask God for help. We tend to go to individuals or to the church to ask for help. We try to decide who it is we want to help us.

When we ask God to help us; and begin to move as His word speaks to us, He places people in our paths that He wants to bless for blessing us. It may not be the church, it may not be family, and may not even be who we have in mind. That’s why when we ask God for help, we are to not ask in amiss, but immediately trust Him for the help that He so wants to give us. It is not God’s desire to see us struggle and suffer continuously to a point where we are just not going to survive, but we become more than conquerors through Christ Jesus. God wants us to trust Him to do what He said in His word. He wants us to believe totally in Him.

When our help finally comes, we are not to look down on the ones who we had expected to help us. It was just not their time to help us, or to receive what blessing God had stored up for someone else to receive for helping us. We are not to look for where it is coming from, but to just look for it to come.

God does the unordinary and the impossible in an unexpected manner, for He is God and besides Him, there is none other.

 

“Searching High, Searching Low, Across the Widest Ocean,
Climbing the Highest Mountain, Going into the Deepest Valley,
There is nobody greater, I can’t find nobody Greater,
Greater than You Lord!”
