STAY IN YOUR LANE

STAY IN YOUR LANE SO YOU WILL NOT GET RUN OVER BY GOD, WHILE TRYING TO BALANCE YOURS AND OTHER’S PROBLEMS AND UNNECESSARYY TROUBLES, TRIALS, AND TRIBULATIONS: ONLY GOD HAS THAT CAPABILITY.

It is very important for those who actually think they can run on the same level and keep the pace set by God (for Himself) or push back at His will, in a way which stops the flow of His plan to know that they cannot. One very important point I would like to make. And that is, we are not God’s equal and no matter how hard we try, nothing we do will ever stop or determine the complexity of the paths He put each of us on and how His plan (the one set before the beginning of time) for our life is played out, individually or collectively. We cannot, as mere humans, forecast the lasting effect of the trials, troubles, or tribulations, on/of His creation nor the outcome of the world. Never was, is, nor will ever be a competition between us and YHWH, God because our arms are too short to attempt to box with God. His arms on the other hand, are long and stretches wide as is His lane, which is wide enough to encompass every living thing on earth and in heaven. Which means we do not have what it takes, love, strength, knowledge, to be everywhere at all times; that which only the Creator of it all possesses these abilities. But we can stay in our lane and do what God instruct us to do. (Numbers 11:23 And the Lord said unto Moses, Is the Lord’S hand waxed short? thou shalt see now whether my word shall come to pass unto thee or not). (Isaiah 59:1-4 59 Behold, the Lord’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear: 2 But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear. 3 For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue hath muttered perverseness. 4 None calleth for justice, nor any pleadeth for truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity).

 We do not know what awaits us on our lane in this race called life. And for those who think that they are running in the same lane as our Father or want to run in everyone else’s lane, they should get the idea that they know, out of their head immediately and concentrate running in their own lane at their own pace. Our lanes may become a bit crooked, hard, and uncertain at time, due to self or some unforeseen circumstances; just stay focus on God’s word, will, and way and it will be straight again; eventually. Because when we stay in it and stop trying to get ahead of God, we will be able to run a race of love, respect, compassion, faith; one of truth as Christ Jesus. We stay steady, in our own lane, so that we will not cause chaos, confusion, mayhem, or harm. Therefore, whatever is required of us in Christ Jesus, that is what we must do. (2 Corinthians 12:10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ’s sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong). Numbers 23:18-20 18 And he took up his parable, and said, Rise up, Balak, and hear; hearken unto me, thou son of Zippor: 19 God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good? 20 Behold, I have received commandment to bless: and he hath blessed; and I cannot reverse it).

Don’t worry about the lane of others because YHWH, God has designated your lane specifically for you (in your line you may have to step out to help others but that’s okay, moments like that are in God’s plan for you). Each one is meant to serve a purposed purpose for the ushering in of His eternal kingdom on earth and in heaven. And for the children of the Most High to obtain their incorruptible crown. But for the ones that refuse to run an honest and godly race, staying in their ow lane, they do it for a corruptible crown. Studying your Word will help you to understand this better and use moderation in all things or to exercise self-control and self-restraint. (1 Corinthians 9:23-25 23 And this I do for the gospel’s sake, that I might be partaker thereof with you. 24 Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. 25 And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible).

Understand this. In our effort to maneuver through all the hindrances, obstacles, and hurdles YHWH, God, through Yashuah, Jesus, (Who never leaves us, unless you choose to leave Him) is always right with us, rearranging, re-directing, picking up, sheltering, the list goes on, all that is required to get us to the finish line; eternity with Him. So, during this race of life, we are endowed with blessings, privileges, and benefits (which are given to us by Adonai), to help us successfully go round our mountains, maintain us in our valleys, and keep us from sinking in our raging sea. (Psalm 46:9-11 9 He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; he burneth the chariot in the fire. 10 Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. 11 The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah).

He knows all of our weaknesses, strengths, and even when we get too big for our britches, He is prepared to step in. Therefore, while on this journey called life, as we tend to stop and or get sidetracked from our godly purpose, know that the spirit might be willing to press toward the mark of the high calling, but the flesh is for self-enjoyment; it has to be subjected to God’s grace and mercy before it will be still. Most response to life’s offers and suggestions is to go by any which way the wind blow; new doctrine, new movement, unsubstantiated rhetoric, fads, and anything the majority see and proclaim as good and natural. It does not matter as long as you fit in and are in the same lane as the progenitor. Remember that that lane can and usually does (The wide road) get very crowded. Also, when we are experiencing our rainbow and sunshine days God’s mercy, and grace (It, Holy Spirit) enable us to respond to His goodness without becoming high and mighty, headstrong, and haughty but humble and gentle. A haughty and high-minded position, (someone not working in the will of God) is a place in one’s mind where they try and run others race by getting in their lane. This is dangerous and can and often do, lead those who are weak-minded and indecisive, to a path of ill repute for their ill-gotten gain; things that someone has obtained in a dishonest or illegal way. Because no matter how much earthly, worldly gain man obtain, he is still not equal to God nor is he classified, in YHWH, God’s eyes as a god. (Isaiah 59:1-4 59 Behold, the Lord’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear: 2 But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear. 3 For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue hath muttered perverseness. 4 None calleth for justice, nor any pleadeth for truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity). (2 Corinthians 12:8-9 8 For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me.  And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Numbers 23:18-20 18 And he took up his parable, and said, Rise up, Balak, and hear; hearken unto me, thou son of Zippor: 19 God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good? 20 Behold, I have received commandment to bless: and he hath blessed; and I cannot reverse it).

Just like in any race, we are running toward the finish line, but this is not an ordinary one, it is the race for eternal life. And yes, there are times when we may need to pull away from the crowd (stop running neck to neck or venture in another runner’s lane), to accomplish certain goals in our life which God has set for us. But there should never be a time when we pull away from God to try and run alone nor try to get in His lane; one because He has all power, He is in charge. And there is no way one can contend with or is capable of doing what our LORD can do; God’s knowledge, wisdom, endurance, nor are your legs capable of hitting the strides Yashuah made in His every day journey loving, preaching, and teaching but we can come close, with God’s strength, through Him. We must continue to try and stay in our lane. (Hebrews 12:1-2 12 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, 2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God).

Yes, we were, through our Lord and Saviour Jesus’ death and resurrection, given God’s spirit, we are made in His image, and given power over our enemies, but we are still not God’s equal. And only He knows what awaits us around every turn. So, we must stay in our own lane and allow Him to do what He does best, take care of us. And as we serve and honor Him, we are to do the work God has for us (in our individual lane), while loving and caring for our brothers and sisters. (John 6:28-29 28 Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? 29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent). (Philippians 2:13 13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure). GOD’S GOT IT NO WORRY NO FEAR.
