It’s a wonderful day to be a child of God. Has this week seemed longer than normal? Has this week brought more challenges than you can remember? Has this week left you feeling overwhelmed and overworked? Has this week made you question past decisions you made? Has this week caused you to contemplate walking away from every thing and everyone? Has this week been the best week of your life? Has this week brought continuous joy and blessings? Do you hate to see this week end? Has this week positioned you for better weeks to come? So often in our lives we are faced with more questions than we have answers to. Some times we desire to ignore as many questions as possible. Above you noticed many personal questions. Questions that no one else can answer but you. Isn’t it amazing how the same week that brought you pain and heartache, can be the same week that brought joy and overflow for someone else?
This morning, I have been commissioned to come and minister to you. When was the last time you asked the Lord to stop the rain? Or when was the last time you asked Him to stop something that brought you discomfort and grief? Do you realize somewhere, someone is praying just the opposite. What you are asking the Lord to stop, someone is asking God to start. The rain that prevents you from enjoying a day at the park, is the same rain that allows the crops to grow for someone else. So, who should God answer to? Your prayer or the other person? My friend, He Will Do What He Wants To Do! This is one of things that makes God so awesome. No dilemma hinders the power of God. The Bible declares in Psalms 62:11 – God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God. It is not that God does not hear your prayers. It is not that God is ignoring you. Truthfully, God operates according to Himself. Man must answer to someone but God answers to Himself. Therefore He can never go against Himself.
My brother, my sister, as much as you try to persuade the Father, He cannot nor will not be manipulated by us. He Will Do What He Wants To Do! Before God ever conforms to our will, we will always surrender and submit to His. The Bible declares in Psalms 73:28 – But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord GOD, that I may declare all Thy works. Beloved, we must always remember God knows what is best. He knows when to do it and when to wait. He knows when to intervene and when to leave it alone. He knows when you are ready for the overflow. He knows when you are prepared for the next step or phase. He knows when we have fulfilled the assignment given to us. In stead of trying to deceive the Master into accepting your will, why not trust His will for you? No matter how strong you feel about it, He Will Do What He Wants To Do! Prayer for Today: Father, help me to obey Your will for my life. You know what is best for me and my family. Help me to realize You are always in control. In Jesus’ name … Amen.
