To tell you the truth GOD is so big, I sometimes wonder who am I that GOD should be mindful of. I am just like an ant to GOD, If he wanted to squash me I will be gone in an instant. Yet he loves us so much that he took one of our own(JESUS) and seated him at his right hand. Gave him the name that is above every name in heaven and here on earth. His understanding is past finding out aaah! saints GODS ways are not our ways indeed.
I think on my part I try to explain who GOD is to me and what he is doing in my life, by no means do I try to explain GOD to you. Somehow there maybe some similarities between my experience and yours and you may be encouraged to know that If GOD can do this for me he can do for you also. Let me stress however that just because GOD did things this way for me does not mean he will take the same route for you. He is a dynamic GOD. The whole idea is you get to experience GOD yourself.We are are only shown a part of GOD that is needed for us to fulfill the part he has for us.
GODs instructions are tailor made for a specific individual. From the beginning of the world as we can read from the bible GOD has done many miracles that were and still are diverse. As a child of GOD I have gone through so much learning and training by GOD himself. Of course I like to listen to many preachers if they are preaching about Christ, but if it is one of those sermons that tell you know your enemy the devil. I switch off. To me it does not make sense to learn about the father of lies who is out to steal, kill and cheat. His tactics changes but if you spend time learning more about Christ you can smell the devil a mile away. JESUS is the same yesterday, today and forever he has stayed the same through the ages.
JESUS said my sheep hear my voice. At first it did not make total sense but then, the holy spirit made me to understand that the devil also comes like an angel of light so he devil also speaks. So JESUS speaks in codes that only his sheep hears and the good thing is we have the bible to check whether the word agrees with the bible or not. The fact is if you are his sheep you will hear him. GOD is not out to mess about with you or catch you unaware. He knows how to get to you with his word or with his help.
The good thing about GOD is that he confirms his word and he makes sure you understand what he is on about, at that particular time. Saints GOD loves you and me so much that he gave his only son as sacrifice, so that we should walk before him and be blameless. I know sometimes GOD allows us to pass through pain and it can get unbearable sometimes. But what ever GOD allows in our life is for our own good.
You see we are clay and he is the porter and he has every right to shape us to his standards. Frankly speaking no one really understands completely why GOD made man. Of course some say to worship him but I think there is more than that.
I like the question GOD asks JOB "where you there when I created the world?" That is the mother of all questions. I have been asked the same by GOD. Frankly speaking I was not there and Like clay I really have not much say on how GOD is going to use me. All GOD wants is that we offer ourselves as a living sacrifice. We ought to stop complaining and start praising our GOD. I mean come on as vast as the whole universe is he fills it all, there is not even a leaf that falls to the ground that he does not know about. Birds daily get fed without even owning anything themselves, yet man is too busy worrying about what he needs. Between You and the birds who is great.
Sometime I worry, well I am only human then I remind myself that I am child of GOD really I should have more faith than this. I have come to realize that bad things happen to all but as a child of GOD our response must be different from those of the world. We ought to rejoice always as JESUS said rejoice always and be thankful in all things. I recently fell ill with flu it was so intense on Sunday I failed to make it to church. As usual I prayed for quick recovery and bound all that needed binding but nothing happened so I just lay there in bed and started worshiping GOD and praising all day. The flue did not leave but I did not allow it to stop me from worshiping and praising GOD. Looking back that was one heck of a fellowship time I had with the LORD.
You may be going through some difficult moment or are sick, no matter what it is just start to worship, not that you should get well or get out of the predicament but just because your father is worthy the praise. It is written all thing work for the good of those who love GOD. Friends our GOD is so awesome try him and taste his goodness he will never let you down.It is written he who looks after Israel neither sleeps nor slumbers. He knows exactly where you are he already has a rescue plan in place for you.
