NEW MONTH…SAME SIMPLE
REASSURANCE
It
is the second day to a whole new April; a month that I have heaped a truckload
of expectations; a month that I feel we ought to go through a few sincere
thoughts and facts about this God we call Father and because He is really our
Father, it’s not an attribute or title that we christen Him, it is just the way
things are. It is who He is. My intention is to really keep this brief but
concise.
There
are many character traits that would run through your mind when asked to attach
an adjective that would best describe God not necessarily as a result of any
experience but just a befitting word for who you think He is. I woke up this
Monday thinking of the Lord’s goodness in my life. I cringe at the thought of
waking up to a world with no God simply because I couldn’t deal. There is this friend
of mine who we’ve been praying and faithing in God for a job and it struck me
that she’d entertain the thought of Him being out of touch with her reality…(I am
actually kidding since we are prone to think this way whenever our
long-suffering is in the red zone). The idea of waiting on God as well as His
way of doing things is simply easier said than done. It is actually very
natural to think that He has lost our connection. It has actually become a
habit to me. Furthermore, it is good identifying a problem because a solution
becomes necessary and inevitable. Therefore, this is the background behind this
post - a candid reminder of God’s goodness as a reassurance that we need for
this month. This is what I wrote back to her which is what I believe:
“I'm listening to this song and I'm getting this
feeling that you too need to have a listen too. It's called ‘King of My Heart’
and it's largely by Jesus Culture. And there's this profound declaration
regarding God 'You are Good...You're
never gonna let me down' and I wish you can chew on that for a moment. In
everything that the Lord does even at this moment, during this season that you
think and feel he's unconcerned or taking too long, is one word GOOD and he
never lets his beloved down because that would make
This summarizes my
prayer for us that we shall hold fast the fact that our God is a good father
and He never abandons His own even when trusting in Him and believing in His
promises consistently appears frail in terms of logic, unwise in terms of
reason and outrageous in terms of reality.
HAPPY NEW MONTH! GOD IS WORTH THE WAIT.
I love...Exactly what He has been speaking to me. 'Believe that I am and that I am a rewarder of those who diligently seek Me'
ReplyDeleteBe still and know that He is God. He's in control! That realization is my everything!
