GIVE IT A REST!

“For a thousand years in Your sight are like yesterday when it is past, and like a watch in the night,” Psalm 90:4 (NKJV). Considering the words of the psalmist it becomes clear why it is so difficult to understand God’s timing on things. When a trial seems like an eternity to us, it is but a passing moment to Him. But both His actions and inactions are perfectly timed, and our panic does not change that. I must therefore learn to trust His perfect love and rest in Him. Zephaniah 3:17 (KJV) proclaims: “The LORD Thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; He will save, He will rest in His love, He will joy over thee with singing.” Wow! What a beautiful picture! LORD, by Your grace I will ditch my panic and worries. I will “give it a rest” and trust Your timing. I shall join the melody of Your song of joy over me and praise you with my whole heart. Selah!

INSIDE OUT

A serious pursuit of godliness requires an equally serious renunciation of worldliness. Too often, we measure spirituality with false scales. While being wisely selective with our public vices we are less so with our private attitudes and perspectives. In reality, it is the thoughts and intents of the heart where the greatest battles must be waged; our actions will ultimately align with the condition of our hearts. Lord God, You know me inside out, You are not fooled by human facades. Plow my heart with Your Word and Spirit and leave nothing unturned. Refresh my inward man that I may outwardly glorify You in all places at all times.

THE LORD IS ONE

Usage of the phrases “My God” and “Our God” in songs and conversations among believers has gone far afield from the Biblical context in which they were used. These seemingly innocent attempts to describe our relationship with Elohim must only be spoken with keen Scriptural understanding: “I am the Lord, there is no other, apart from me there is no God.” Plain and simple, to even imply that He is but one choice among many is fundamentally false. In a world of increasing polytheism we must be clear, the LORD is One, He stands alone as King of the Universe, Creator of All Things. Holy LORD, let my life declare boldly, You Alone are Almighty God.

HEARTBREAKS

Every soul experiences heartbreaks. Heartaches accumulate and develop tentacles that reach deep into our whole being. Particularly painful is the regret associated with perceived failures. Heartbreaks, failures and the remorse they foster do us no good unless they become motivation for learning, change and growth. People often let heartbreaks simmer too long which leads to hardening of the heart, but heartaches placed into the Master’s hands become pathways for spiritual progress. Lord, You make all things new. I’m joyfully growing, one heartache at a time. Use me as healing balm to others whose hearts are broken.
