WE MUST TRUST AND HAVE CONFIDENCE IN GOD’S WORD(JESUS) IN TODAY’S WICKED WORLD. So that we will understand what is really going on in today’s world of unrest. And how, with our heavenly Father’s guidance, we will be able to stand.
As we move into our day, we must realize how relevant to submit the total being, of our life’s significance that finding the frequency and listening for and to God’s voice (in every moment and aspect of our life) is. It is one of the most important things we can pursue. The other is to follow after His example. Even in today’s wicked, sordid, and idol worshipping world, YHWH, God, is still using, His Word, Jesus, to create and communicate with man and all living things; constantly changing and rearranging as He sees the need to do so, to get our attention and gain our trust in Him, while enlarging our faith and preparing us for His second coming.
With a command, for His purpose, of His voice He will allow some to rise and others to fall. Majestically and powerfully does His voice move throughout the land and over the waters speaking to those who will hear and about those who won’t. We witness His eminence, as He speaks to us, through the powerful forces of nature and in the silence of the midnight hour. And if we choose to listen, no matter the situation, (even if it is not our doing) we will see and hear His awe-inspiring voice tell us to stop, start, come, or be still; loving us through it all. God’s voice will cause man and that which is of nature (all creation) to bow to His will or understand His won’t. God’s Word is so great that we can see from the 3 boys Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, in the fiery furnace, that when He stepped in, (I like to think that with His Word, Jesus, the voice of God) He took the heat out of the fire and made the flames behave. Book of Daniel (chapter 3).
You know that the majority of people (even those professing to be a child of God) develop an attitude toward God when troubles, trials, and tribulations come their way. They either draw nearer to Him, totally turning over to Him or they turn off their hearing which decerns God’s voice from the devil’s. They refuse to stand still long enough to hear Him so that He can command our waves (crisis, chaos, and confusion) to behave, and the wind (anyone or anything contrary to His will) to stop blowing; to stop causing destruction and devastation. This bring us to the fact that the last thing any of us should do is to harden our heart when God is speaking to us through the work He is doing, but stand fast, as children of the Most High, and have faith that all will be worked, in Jesus’ name, by The One Who is in control. Because when it comes to us trying to control our life’s situations, (test, trials, troubles and the tribulations that are inevitable) we make even a bigger mess. (1 Peter 5:7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. Psalm 55:22 Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved. Philippians 4:6-7 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. 1 Corinthians 10:13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it).
Our Father instructed us to seek Him first, in all that we do; to give no worried or fearful thought (notice I said worried or fearful; we will think about them but don’t allow them to be your concentration) to life’s problems, such as the ones we are experiencing today. But to put our faith in Him, think on Him, hang on to every word of His promises He made to us to never leave nor forsake us and He will protect, guide, and provide. He gave example of His commitment to us, His creation, through the life of the lilies of the field; how beautiful they are and how they don’t worry nor work, they just grow; straight and tall and beautiful; all because they don’t worry but know that God takes care of them. (Matthew 6:28-29 28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: 29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these).
Much joy, peace, comfort, clarity, and most of all love, comes with God’s Word. And when problems that we, (instead of giving them to Christ), have toiled with, which need to be solved, are given to the Father, in the name of the Son are relinquished they become more tolerant and easier to bear. It is so good when we listen to hear Yashuah, Jesus’ voice, saying come. Because it is then that the power and majesty of God’s voice, like that of rolling thunder, calming waters, whispering wind or the sound of nature, is revealed. And through His speaking, His voice shakes the trees of retribution, the situations of Satan, and rid all that is contrary to His Word (Jesus) from the land of our being. (Psalm 29:3-9 3 The voice of the Lord is upon the waters: the God of glory thundereth: the Lord is upon many waters. 4 The voice of the Lord is powerful; the voice of the Lord is full of majesty. 5 The voice of the Lord breaketh the cedars; yea, the Lord breaketh the cedars of Lebanon. 6 He maketh them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young unicorn. 7 The voice of the Lord divideth the flames of fire. 8 The voice of the Lord shaketh the wilderness; the Lord shaketh the wilderness of Kadesh. 9 The voice of the Lord maketh the hinds to calve, and discovereth the forests: and in his temple doth every one speak of his glory). GOD’S GOT IT, NO WORRY, NO FEAR. GOD IS IN CONTROL; GOD IS STILL IN CHARGE
