GOD Pulling Your Leg Is he

I am travelling a road that has not one sign I am traveling blindly not knowing which way to turn. It gets pitch dark at times groping in the dark, yet I feel about for JESUS but I can hardly notice him at times. I sometimes I feel so frustrated It feels like I am just running on the same spot. No matter how I try I keep coming back to the same old things.

I try listening to the voice of the LORD and several times he has  told me and my wife that now is the time giving us dates and confirmations. Yet nothing happens. You see I never knew GOD could pull ones leg. I am confused now what is going on I ask what is GOD playing at.

Yet down the road He GOD says there has just been a delay I am just checking your perseverance, patience and obedience. We are so engrossed in our problems that we cannot see or seem to grasp what GOD is doing in our lives.

Look at your life GOD is up to something, I mean really stop for a minute I bet like me you will notice a pattern. This has happened many times that the word of GOD does not add up or should I say reflect on the ground. I have been called a fool and many other names for my beliefs. But let me put you straight is it possible for GOD to tell you one thing and deliberately do something else.

When we read Judges 20 it is very interesting. Some people from Benjamin did a terrible sin like the one from Sodom not only that they were covering the culprits. To cut the story short the other tribes consulted GOD right in his place of worship and he GOD even told them that the tribe of Judah to go first. Judges 20:18:21 Oops what do you know they were walloped 22000 fell that day from Israel camp.Then went weeping before GOD again asked Him, you know thinking maybe we did not hear GOD right. Again GOD told them go up against Benjamin, but yet again the Israelis were defeated. Then the went again before the LORD for the third time now this time GOD said go for I will give them into your hand.Judges 20:22:48.

Looking at judges it is possible for GOD to tell you to go ahead knowing you will fail. My friend GOD works in mysterious way. With the children of Israel GOD was sorting out some issues them.
Let us look at it:

• First the children of Israel thought they were more righteous themselves it took them two failed attempts to realize that they also had issues before they could judge others. Eventually they made sacrifices confessed their sins then GOD allowed them to go inflict judgement on others.

• They were imposing themselves on GOD. well the first two attempts they told GOD the only option is to kill the children of Benjamin. They forgot that GOD has the final say. At last in judges 20:28 they prayed that should we go or should we cease. This was an acknowledgement that it was up to GOD punish or pardon that sin. The moment they said or should we cease meaning it is up to you GOD you decide then GOD said go for tomorrow I will deliver them into your hands. notice the first two times GOD just said go.

• They were not executing the Judgement like GOD wanted, You see GOD wanted a total wipe out of the Benjamins because of their arrogance. So he allowed the Israelis to be killed such that when the went for the final time the were so vexed because they had lost the first two times. that they killed everyone including women and children and all the animals plus burning everything. Only six hundred men survived the onslaught. 

What are we saying examine yourself. Are there things that GOD still want you to change? Are you imposing your choice on GOD or are you allowing him to make the final say. It also could be that GOD has seen the injury inflicted on you emotionally, physically, financially and spiritually by the enemy even the arrogance of the enemy has come before GOD. Like the children of Israel he is orchestrating a total wipe out of the enemy. Keep putting GOD in the first place and humble yourself , with thanksgiving and a joyful heart and God will exalt you greater than you have imagined.

GOD pulling your leg is he? Well encourage yourself for it is all for a good purpose. He loves you and cares for you. And he has no favorites. What he did for Abraham he will do for you.
