In His Word 2019
Day -24
Watch, stand fast in the faith, be brave, be
strong. Let all that you do be done with love. 1
Corinthians 16:13-14
This just made me think this morning. It is
telling me to ‘wait for it’, but to stand ready in faith.
It is telling me that I, we should not be afraid
of what god is about to do but to do it with love. Whatever it is that we have
before us today we should walk in it, because God has put it before us and He
will guide us through it.
It’s not always easy to do right? I know people
who are battling cancer, chronic pain problems, and many other health related
issues they are struggling to get through. They bravely go before the throne of
Grace and plead their causes and walk in it seemingly without a problem on the
outside.
The thing is when we see someone walking through
something and remaining strong in their faith we can trust that they know the
truth, that God is with them in everything even the death bed. We as those
around them need to be brave as well, we need to trust that God has them in the
palm of His hand and that He will give them faith to make it through the trials
just as He did Paul and Peter and the other disciples we read about in His
Word.
Trust in the Lord and do good, and He will exalt
you to dwell in the land. Psalm 37 says this, and today I see this as trust in
the Lord and carry on, be brave, be strong, and God will lift you up to dwell
where He puts you back down.
Heavenly father, we lift up our friends, we lift
up ourselves to you today to be brave in Your power and Your might, because its
not about us, its about Your glory. In Jesus name, amen.
