Let us trust in the Lord with each other can be more ... ㄚ are
your future completely to God by David Wilkerson | May 22, 2006 One day, God appeared to Abraham, gave him a the incredible command: Suddenly, God chose a man, told him: These incredible God of Abraham, then react? What? Why is he looking for the nations from a person, then, did not give him the map, or the direction of predestinated to abandon all call him, leave him to leave? Think of the requirements of God to Abraham. He never told him how to support the family; did not tell him how far to go, or what time to get to their destinations. He only started to tell him:
God's commands, how incredible. He is told Abraham: I give the promise of their lives will be entrusted to me. If you aspire to so, and then I will bless you, guide you, and you receive one you will never imagined place. br> God to Abraham's experience, it is his hope that every one can experience of Christ. Yes, Abraham is the biblical scholars as a Abraham's example is more obvious to us, we shall we do to please God.
Remember, when God called Abraham to commit themselves to Him, he is not young anymore. He was Lot's uncle, probably has his own family, set a plan. So, when he discretionary call from God, he must have a lot of concerns. Because this is about to leave his family and friends, totally rely on God's supply. However, All in all, but a number of our trust in Him, to discuss the joy of His people. The same as Abraham, as we also listen to this call, will make their future in the Lord's hands completely, as the Lord our righteousness.
Lord also calls us to live this: Do not worry about tomorrow, our future is entrusted to him. righteousness; these things shall be added unto you So do not worry about tomorrow; worried about tomorrow because tomorrow its own; the difficulties of day When the day is enough. not mean that we do not have to plan for the future, or do not have his future plans. Instead, he only said: We continue by the words
If I get sick, to stay in the hospital, we bad. Or, if I face difficulties, faith is weak, how do I do? We are so worried about the main block, tells us: heavenly Father knows that, He will never forsake you. you are faithful, who will feed you, give you clothes, you need to supply to you. The birds do not sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and your heavenly Father feeds them; you not much more valuable? ... why worry about clothes? lilies of the field you want, how long up, it does not toil nor spin; yet I say unto you, that Solomon in glory, he dressed, not as one of these? ye of little faith, that which grass of the field today, , and tomorrow is cast into the oven, shall he not an ornament, not to mention you? sin to the Lord. We believe that He will forgive us our trespasses, doubt, and fear. Why are we not to their own future, he also entrusted? In fact, most of us have control over their own future, stick to their dreams. We do not rely on God, self-made plans, after they ask Him to bless, I hope his success is our hope and desire.
Today, the church is facing an unprecedented era. Faith reason, confusing; secular materialism, infiltration church. God's people learn to have big dreams, big plans, aggressively ambition, Many parents feel the pressure of believers, the arrangements for their children to vocational, or to worry about their future. Very sad, this kind of environment to produce a new generation of young people, who in their pursuit of success, so stressful, extremely distressed, physically and mentally exhausted.
these children are affected, so that its never enough. Result, some people go to extremes, drinking binge, as if tomorrow everything should collapse. Many people become preoccupied with more success; when they are unable to meet certain standards, they will be using drugs, calm your nerves. Some children just simple ordinary dreams, they will feel better than others. They are subject to the influence of secular, their future, fear.
Why this way? Why do older generation experienced faithful followers of God, will this affect the next generation? These older believers know that God has always favored them; why they do not look after their children faithful?
In this competition, confusion, heart empty, the pursuit of material, and the arrogance of the environment by blood, God in His command to Abraham, called on us: go, let me in charge of your future. Let me Plan your footsteps, so the Holy Spirit to guide you. Services to prepare for making you totally artificial to me, and I seek refuge. All of the plans, hopes, dreams,UGG boots cheap, and all for their own future and the concerns of family members, are shelved. He did so, not easy. He must put aside fear and anxiety, their future, and that in any case, God will bless him and keep him. However, the Father of His people today, the requirement is not less than that. When Paul wrote to the Philippians church, he was in prison in Rome.
When Paul in Rome awaiting trial, he was in terrible condition, was locked up. Day and night, he had been the soldiers of the palace, guards; a chain and his feet were tied together next to two soldiers. Hardness of these people rude, mouths a curse, and ruthless. For them, each of the prisoners, all deserve to prisoners, including Paul included.
Imagine, Paul, in the circumstances, suffered abuse. He did not own alone time, there is no freedom. Friend to visit him every time, they are being watched, the soldiers, most of them because of their conversation, and laughed at them. This pious people are vulnerable to this and other treatment, and dignity.
Think: Paul has always had very active, like the mountains, across the ocean to meet with the intersection of God's people. Paul, the greatest joy is to visit the church that he had built. But then, he was locked up, indeed with the most rigid and most profane man of God, be tied together.
even some understanding of Paul's followers are beginning to complain that his situation to make the gospel into disrepute; they said: What does not release him? Paul, the power of prayer where to go? other preachers are blessed, why did he not so? Apollos sermon, a great effect; the young preacher Timothy and Titus, but also so. Paul is simply no longer serve to speak of. Our case, you can overnight, or several hours, completely upside down. Our future can be completely out of control; our plans and dreams, you can also quickly pass.
I believe that every reader knew who had this experience. A tragedy came less than expected, change everything. Overnight, they are a result of some of the situations in life, and trouble. Our ministry received boxes of letters, the contents are related to these difficulties and the suffering of the parties.
long ago, I wait for my wife in the waiting room, an elderly widow, the changes experienced by her to tell me. They live a happy couple; But one day, her husband in the wind. She took care of her husband, so two people are trapped in the home. She loves her husband, faithful to take care of him, but a total of five years, they can not plan their own
time goes by, he became depressed mood; One day, he called her to the bedroom, poured out his grievances to her. He said he lost because of hopes and dreams of a stroke, said she was bad at the line for him, without understanding, he said: life, useless, on the previous day, lost hope. I was never happy, but misery outside,UGG shoes, nothing. here. suffering, not only is it to you. I have hope and dreams. so many years, I have dedicated to take care of day four hours carefully serve you. I have also lost their future. br> Soon after, he died; She may miss him, but she seemed to myself,
suffering sooner or later come upon us; Today, many saints are a result of adversity, and being too trapped. They suffered because of his, and lose the joy, feel both helpless and useless. Many people are in pain, asked: not He can be bitter in his state of mind of a sick, constantly spinning, self-centered question repeatedly asked: think: return to the Lord? test of how my good result out? arranged. So, when I was seriously in chains, I have to respect the Lord, as the witness of the world. 20)
revealed the attitude of Paul, we worried about from the abyss of grief, the only way to be liberated. You have to understand that we may anxiously waiting to be released from suffering, and neglect their own future. If this becomes our focus, we will miss the liberation of Mongolia from the trials of miracles and joy.
Consider Philippians believers Paul's words: Poor me, or thought I was depressed because of his future. Please do not say my work is done. Yes, I was suffering tied to the lock, however, has therefore spread the gospel. Imagine Paul said: In fact, the palace, people chatter, talking about my gospel. You may think that my hands were locked, and my ministry to be lost, without hope, can not serve the Lord. backfire, these chains have told me to never bold preaching.
Do not misunderstand, Paul is by no means resigned, or, on his own situation, without warning meaning. He totally feel the pain tied to the lock. his attitude is not so: God allowed adversity, so I try to adapt. I will not complain, just smile. No one will know my pain. This mentality is not the future themselves completely to God.
Please note that Paul Philippi believers closing: ; I was jailed for suffering and happy heart. patient.
However, because of our problems God Paul write: meaning to their testimony in response to trouble in the truth. I do not have standing efforts toward the gospel into disrepute, or so it seems a lack of capacity.
In fact, the reason I'm calm in trouble, completely rest in peace, Christ was spread. Everyone I know saw that my gospel can help me through. This proves that the Lord is able to keep any person through any situation, through fire and water; the gospel shall live by my experiences have been spread. As long as we trust in Him. Our duty is to save his life to God and believe He will look after us. No matter what our situation, we only do so if the Gospel was spread. The Lord appeared to us, especially when we face difficult times.
Samuel elders of the church once told me: but a road of his life. He endure the pain, so every night, so I slept a few hours. Although he endured pain all day, but he faithfully serve the Lord, as the crowd of witnesses. Samuel may not have a very visible ministry,cheap UGG boots, however, his life was like Paul's Road, in general, great in power, to spread Christ.
Christ Is it because of your current test, which is preached? Your family have not seen the work of the gospel to you? Or, they only see you panic,UGGs, depression, sorrow, doubt God's faithfulness? Your own troubles, what reaction? Paul said, one day he will stand before the Lord.
Paul write: will stand before the Lord, the Redeemer of the Austrian secret to manifest.
according to the Bible, that day, God will open our spiritual eyes, we behold the glory, free from blame. When he opened all the mysteries of the universe will be his ability to lift up all things, revealed to us, our hearts will be lit up. Suddenly, we will see the ground because of all the trials themselves, but can be a real blessing, that is, the ability of the resources of heaven to protect our angel, and the Holy Spirit into our presence.
When we see these great and terrible fact that the Lord will say to us: . You see, Satan can never hurt you; you must have no reason to fear for tomorrow. When we look up to the majesty of the Father, we will fully understand how his love us, will suddenly reveal the truth of the following: true God. In that great day of glory, he does not want to stand before the Lord, ask ourselves: hard work, no doubt. I hope know, through adversity in his response that has been out of the way of life, and fought the good fight to prove that the Lord is faithful. Paul concluded: to entrust their future master. We can not be full of regret, all day long look at your sin and failure, often after thinking it over, repent.
as Paul, I know now looking forward to tomorrow, God the Father loves me ... He knows what it preaches ... He was with me, never forsake me ... he looked after me, unto my thoughts are all good ... his promises, and never in vain.
I would urge you, service completely entrusted their future to the Lord, let your current trials as a channel, that Lord unswerving faithfulness.
