As you all know my life as well as the life of my family and my church family is going thru a rough time. With the struggle of the soon approach of us losing our Pastor it is to say the least an overwhelming time. There is all the what ifs going through my mind. I know they are going through other people's mind too. I must say that I am resolved to keep my eyes of the Lord.
I will not fear what may come. I will not doubt the work of the Lord. I will not let my mind wander into the dangerous depths of the possibilities that may come. I will not look at others and question their motives. I will not fear!
I know the Lord is in control. I know He has all power and wisdom. I know He has not failed me ever. I know He will not fail His church. I know He is in control of His church. I know He is moving in the hearts of men to establish His will. I know He will eventually in His time bring the right man into Cenral Baptist Church. I know God's almighty, gracious, loving, powerful, and guiding hand is upon His Church!
With Easter soon approaching I am reminded of the Lord's power to accomplish the Father's will. Christ rose from the dead and not only that but it was after 3 days! What an almighty powerful Saviour we have!!! Yet we still doubt, fear, and even question. How this must sadden our Saviour! Where is our faith church? Is it in what man can do whether that be good or bad. It shouldn't be: look at the following scripture.
II Timothy 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
God could not be more clear about this that we are to not worry or fear. We are to claim the power and love of God. This will give us a sound mind so we will have a peace that passes all understanding.
If you are struggling with peace remember who peace comes from and trust. Romans 8:28 God works all things together for good to them that loveth the Lord. Trust Jesus He won't disappoint you. If you keep your eyes on Jesus not saying everything will be perfect but the disappointment of life will be much easier to handle. Stay in the word of God.
Hebrews 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of God. You want your faith to be strengthened get in the Bible. For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Hebrews 4:12 Oh how powerful the word of God is do not neglect it! Christian let the Lord lead you. Let the word of God divide your soul and spirit. Let your heart be led of God. Oh please hear me christian get your eyes on Jesus.
Your faith will never grow if you never pick up the Word of God....
