What are you believing for? What matter have you lifted to Him time and time again in prayer? What private desire of your heart has, for too long, laid exposed to doubt or shame?
Several years ago, God gave me a really big promise. At times, it's easy to get discouraged; I look at my present circumstances and wonder, Did I really hear God correctly? But the truth of the matter is God's Word will not return void of accomplishing all that He said it would.
2 Chronicles 16:9-For the eyes of the Lord move to and fro throughout the earth that He may strongly support those whose heart is completely His...
The Lord Almighty, Maker of Heaven and Earth, is faithful. And His eyes, according to this Scripture, search back and forth, across the land, seeking to strongly support any person whose heart is sold out for Him.
You my friend have been purchased with a great price, Jesus. And God is looking to support you STRONGLY! Scripture says He works all things together for our good.
So trust Him. Rest in His love. And let your faith be strengthened...God is Good!
Hebrews 11:1-3,and verse 6 says, "Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. For by it the men of old gained approval. By faith we understand that the worlds were prepared by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible. And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him.
Remember Who it is you serve. Remember Who you have put your trust in. Remember Who it is that has loved you with an everlasting love.
I find this an interesting comparison, yet sort of "parallel"; That the eyes of the Lord are seeking to & fro for us VS. the devil prowling the earth to & fro seeking whom he may devour (us) (Job & 1 Peter 5). The Lord is seeking us to give us life & strength. And the devil is seeking us to kill & destroy us.
ReplyDeletePraise God that HE IS seeking us out, & that when we humble ourselves before Him we can then stand against the prowling deceiving devil!
