Let's start anew

Been away too long , but let's write something! Sarah and Abraham, both laughed when God told them Sarah will have a son. Then Abraham fell on his face and laughed, and said in his heart, "Shall a child be born to a man who is one hundred years old? And shall Sarah, who is ninety years old , bear a child?"(Gen 17:17) Therefore Sarah laughed within herself ,saying," After I have grown old, shall I have pleasure my lord being also?" And the Lord said to Abraham, " Why did Sarah laugh, saying, " shall I surely bear a child, since I am old?"Gen 18:13 It's easy to laugh when God give us a vision of something we can never imagine ourselves as, to think of an impossible situation that God wants us to become when we see what we are now, when God wants you to finish a task within a set time He appointed or promise which you can never imagine yourself reaching the goal in the time given, no , even if twice or thrice the time given, you won't imagine yourself at the end of the goal. But God answered their laughter with "Is anything too hard for the Lord?"Gen 18:14 And then God said " At the appointed time I will return to you, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son."Gen18:14 And the Lord visted Sarah as He had said, and the Lord did for Sarah as He had spoken. For Sarah conceived and bore Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him Gen 21:1-2 It's easy to keep asking and not conceiving of a possible "HOW?" but your " how?" isn't gonna be a problem if you know "WHO?" is backing you. And the question God wanted to ask , the same He asked Sarah, is "Why do you doubt me?" Enough of looking at yourself , look at the one who gives the vision. Don't be the one giving the excuse, like Moses saying "Master, please, I don't talk well. I've never been good with words, neither before nor after You spoke to me. I stutter and stammer"(Exodus 4:10 MSG), or like Jeremiah that says ,"Hold it, Master God! Look at me , I don't know anything. I'm only a boy"(Jeremiah 1:6 MSG), or like Gideon " Me, my Master? How and with what could I ever save Israel? Look at me. My clan's the weakest in Manasseh and I'm the runt of the litter."(Judges 6:15 MSG) Enough is enough! Don't you trust the word of God, the promise that He gave? God will do whatever He says he will do ! Every single word He said, He will do! Even if you're at the bottom of the bottom, the trash of the trash, the one that was never to amount to anything, even if everything in your life is the mess, even if nothing's going right,even if you dont know how,and you think you already know the outcome, when you cannot even see it coming true but God will do everything he says! "Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall be as wool."Isaiah 1:18 "My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made PERFECT in weakness" 2 cor 12:9 But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of this world to put to shame the things which are mighty; and the base things of the world and the things which are despised God has CHOSEN, and the things which are not, to bring to nothing the things that are" 1 cor1:27-28 "For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him" 2 chron 16:9 "Do not be terrified or afraid of them! The Lord your God , who goes before you , He will FIGHT FOR YOU, according to all He did for you in Egypt before your eyes" Deut 1:29-30 ...and there is so many promise God has already established in His amazing Word!So put your trust on Him and do your best, cause God will do the rest! He WILL do everything He had said, do for you what He had spoken, at the set time He had spoken to you! And this is just something God has spoken to me about. Makes it so foolish to laugh at what God shown me previously but nonetheless it was worth it. I believe , even if it seems like an outrageous miracle ! |
