A
reminder for today
Amaziah
asked the man of God, "But what about all that silver I paid to hire the
army of Israel?" The man of God replied, "The LORD is able to give
you much more than this!" (2 Chronicles 25:9)
I always believe that everything happens with a purpose.
This purpose could be one to lead you into a different direction or it will
teach you something or maybe prepare you for something else. No matter why it
happens, it always has a purpose and a goal. I told you earlier this week that
my week will have a few nasty challenges and yesterday I mentioned that our
move to our new house seems to hold a number of new challenges.
As the week progresses our challenges progresses as well
and at this stage nothing happens as we have planned. We planned to move in
this week and that has been changed to next week and we expected to have
everything done and instead there are still a number of things outstanding. So it
seems as if nothing is going as we planned and everything changes each day. Have
you ever had that powerless and not in control feeling where you feel helpless
as you can only stand and watch how everything is changed and you can do
nothing about it.
Amaziah lost a large number of silver that he paid for
the army of Israel and here he stands listening to this man of God knowing that
he can do nothing about that. The reply from the man of God is what caught my
eye this morning - The LORD is able to
give you much more than this!"
My dear friend, every time we stand and watch as
everything seems to go wrong and nothing happens as we planned, the Lord wants
us to remember that He is able to give us so much more. The enemy comes with
these plans to alter our course and to discourage us, but if we remain focussed
on the Lord and we keep on trusting Him, He will give us much more than what
the enemy can take away. Whether it is to grow in your relationship with the
Lord or learn from your mistakes or even renew your focus, faith and trust in
the Lord – there is a purpose and we must trust the Lord for He will guide us
through it and give us much more.
Come with me today and let us not try and stare our
challenges away, but instead let us trust the Lord and seek His guidance and
follow His voice. The Lord loves us so much and He only wants to see us prosper
in His kingdom so that other will see that in our difficulties we have
unbelievable victories for His glory and this should create a hunger in them to
live in the kingdom of God.
In the Lord we will find much more than we can ever
imagine.
Have and awesome day dear friend of Jesus
Cheers
