Alright, I am just going to come clean. We have been asking GOD to do something for us but it hasn't happened YET. I will tell you some of the problems, and it certainly isn't GOD. One, of course, is that I have my own timetable. I expect things to happen when and how I expect them to happen. Guess what? It doesn't work like that. GOD has the perfect plan; it all works in HIS time.
Another thing is that I ask GOD to do something, to help with something, to guide us through something, then, I tell Him how I expect it to play out. I just said that GOD has a perfect plan. He doesn't need my "strategery" to accomplish anything.
The final part is maybe all of this comes down to faith. I ask GOD to do it. I KNOW GOD can do it. I KNOW GOD is working everything to my good. But, do I really believe it sometimes? That, my friend, is putting the rubber on the road.
Today's word is part of Matthew 17:20, NIV, which reads, "...Truly I tell you, If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you."
I may have mentioned this before but how large is a mustard seed? Not very. And, JESUS tells us that if we had faith, just faith the size of a mustard seed, we could see great things. It really makes me wonder how small my faith truly is.
Look, you may be facing a daunting task. You may be looking at a mountain larger than you ever imagined. You may be heading into a challenge of unprecedented proportion. My GOD is still GOD! He is AWESOME in POWER! I will praise His name and remember that He will do things in His time, and it will all be for my good. LORD, help my faith to grow!
Be Blessed,
Mickey T
