It’s a wonderful day to be a child of God. Have you ever found yourself surrounded by people who did not believe God the same way you did? While they were happy with things the way they were, you desired more from the Lord. While they grew comfortable with life, you became restless with the norm. While they stopped expecting mighty things, you always expected God to do something awesome. Have you ever experienced people who did not believe in the power of God’s Word? They read the Bible because it was the “right” thing to do, but they did not apply the Word to their daily life. They could quote scriptures but when it came time to walk out what they took in, they did not believe. They could quickly offer scriptures to you when you needed encouragement, but they were slow to recite the same scriptures when they experienced challenges in life.
This morning, I have been commissioned to come and minister to you. To know something and to believe something are two different things. To know of someone and to know someone are two different things. While it is good to read the Word of God (Bible), it will not help you if you refuse to believe in the Word of God and apply it to your life. God gave us His Word on purpose. It is not by accident that Paul says, “All scripture is given by inspiration of God – (2 Timothy 3:16).” My friend, While You Try To Figure It Out … God Already Worked it Out! The situation you currently face has been worked out already. The Bible declares in Romans 8:28 – And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose. Every circumstance we face in life has already been worked out from the end to the beginning. What do you think Jesus meant when He said, “It Is Finished? (John 19:30)” The matter is already handled.
My brother, my sister, what are you still trying to figure out? What are you still battling with today? What lie has the enemy spoken to you? While You Try To Figure It Out … God Already Worked it Out! Beloved, we are more than conquerors (Romans 8:37). We are over-comers in Christ Jesus our Lord. The Bible declares in Philippians 1:6 – Being confident of this very thing, that He which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ: God has not chosen you to leave you in the pit. He has not chosen you to turn His back on you. You are special to the Lord. The situation, or dilemma or circumstance that consumes your mind each day has already been worked out by the Blood of Jesus. Prayer for Today: Father, You have completed the work in me. I walk as the victor and not the victim. In Jesus’ name … Amen!
Scripture Reading for Today: John 17:4
