“How Do You Feel?”
GREETINGS FROM THE TEMPLE …
“How Do You Feel?”
How do you feel? Don’t answer just yet. This question can cover a multitude of situations however, for this writing, I will be referring to your feelings while waiting on an answer from God. We have learned to pray expecting an answer from God. But, when God tells us to wait, or even when He tells us no, what is your reaction? Do you take matters into your own hands? If you have done so in the past, how did that work out for you?
Life is definitely a learning process. Hopefully, we will all learn from our mistakes and stop trying to do God’s Business – stop trying to help God with His Decisions. God is the only One who knows what’s up ahead – what’s around the corner – and He definitely knows what’s behind you. If you trust Him enough to ask – trust Him enough to Heed – trust Him enough to Believe!
“You can’t always see God’s Hand in the heat of the battle.” – Pastor Victor S. Brice
God fights our battles, seen and unseen – physical and emotional. We can easily lose sight of our emotional battles until they are over and won. Therefore, we let go and let God take control of our lives. God will see us through all our battles. However, to win it we must keep God in it. (Can you say we serve an Awesome God?) This is reason to wake up in the morning praising Him and reason to praise Him before going to bed at night. Oh, and don’t forget during the noon-time – during the day-time – and during the evening-time.
“Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.” – Hebrews 13:5 (NIV).
We must rely on God’s Timing – God’s Tactics – God’s Touch. Pastor Brice spoke on this during our Wednesday night Word Connection. This must be our daily process. God has promised to never leave nor forsake us. Believe! To believe is to know in your heart that God will keep His Promise.
Do you realize that while you are praising Him – calling out to Him – at that moment and time, nothing else matters? Try it! Praise Him – call on Him – focus on Him! All your worries – anxieties – troubles – and pain will be gone. Why? Because you have given them over to God. You have let God take control.
“I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.” – Philippians 4:13 (KJV).
Again, I ask: How do you feel after you’ve given all your troubles over to God? Your answer …. “I feel like going on…”
