God gives us promises not plans. We can't determine who, what, when, where, or how! You have release control unless you want to live frustrated. When you released control, you can enjoy life.
For only we who believe can enter his rest. As for the others, God said, "In my anger I took an oath: 'They will never enter my place of rest,'" even though this rest has been ready since he made the world.
Hebrews 4:3 NLT
When you're in rest, you're in faith.
For as long, then, as that promise of resting in him pulls us on to God's goal for us, we need to be careful that we're not disqualified. We received the same promises as those people in the wilderness, but the promises didn't do them a bit of good because they didn't receive the promises with faith. If we believe, though, we'll experience that state of resting. But not if we don't have faith. Remember that God said, Exasperated, I vowed, "They'll never get where they're going, never be able to sit down and rest." God made that vow, even though he'd finished his part before the foundation of the world. Somewhere it's written, "God rested the seventh day, having completed his work," but in this other text he says, "They'll never be able to sit down and rest." So this promise has not yet been fulfilled. Those earlier ones never did get to the place of rest because they were disobedient. God keeps renewing the promise and setting the date as today , just as he did in David's psalm, centuries later than the original invitation: Today, please listen, don't turn a deaf ear . . .
Hebrews 4:1-3 MSG
Lisa struggled with fertility even though God gave her the promise of motherhood. Her concern led her toward an unhealthy focus on forcing this dream to come to pass. She ended up being contacted about adopting two babies.
But You, O Lord , shall endure forever, And the remembrance of Your name to all generations. You will arise and have mercy on Zion; For the time to favor her, Yes, the set time, has come.
Psalms 102:12-13 NKJV
If there's a set time, then there's a wrong time.
Embrace where you are.
Joseph
In the biblical narrative, Joseph was sold into slavery by his jealous brothers, and rose to become vizier, the second most powerful man in Egypt next to Pharaoh, where his presence and office caused Israel to leave Canaan and settle in Egypt.
God can use friends or enemies, open doors or closed doors, shortcuts or detours, a set back or a set up, etc!
A man's steps are of the Lord ; How then can a man understand his own way?
Proverbs 20:24 NKJV
If you try to figure everything out, then you'll just get confused.
The kiss of Judas, also known as the Betrayal of Christ, is the act with which Judas identified Jesus to the multitude with swords and clubs who had come from the chief priests and elders of the people to arrest him, according to the Synoptic Gospels
Jesus said, "Let them be. Even in this." Then, touching the servant's ear, he healed him.
Luke 22:51 MSG
On the other side of that crucifixion is a resurrection, we just can't see it.
The opposition is not in control, they are pawns in the hands of almighty God.
You're not supposed to fight every battle.
On the journey to Rome, a major storm occurs which takes the ship that Paul and other prisoners were on off its course. The sailors gave up on trying to direct the ship and they let it go where the winds took it. ... They even threw some gear into the sea to lighten the ship's load.
Give your burdens to the Lord , and he will take care of you. He will not permit the godly to slip and fall.
Psalms 55:22 NLT
Stop resisting and start resting.
-Jeniro on the go!
