Words of Grace-Do not trust in fleshy arms

Jeremiah 17:5-8.

Cursed is he who trusts in man, who draws strength from mere flesh, and whose heart turns away from the Lord. He is a like a bush in the wastelands; when success comes , they see it not. They live in drylands where almost no one dwells.

But blessed is the one who finds trust in the Lord. They blossom like a tree planted by the riverside with its root connected right with the stream. Its leaves remains  evergreen amidst heat and bears fruit even in a drought year. Halleluyah!!!.

When we put our hope solely in Christ, this is what we become in the day of  recession, turmoil and pestilence. The going may appear difficult, causing the future to appear  so bleak, but we will fear no evil because our resources come from above, with no reliance on man. As you put your trust in God, you will obtain what you need to sail through to the end fruitfully. Shalom.

Word of Grace-It pays to wait for the promise Pt2

Isa 30:18, Heb 6:13-14, Ps 27:14

What God promised has already been fulfilled, according to the finished work of Christ.  Now we have Christ, who has accomplished everything in himself. As a result, we must wait on God. But let us do so, knowing that Christ is everything that was promised.

We don't necessarily wait for the promise to come to us; rather, we get ready spiritually to receive it. So don't haste and don't rely on your own efforts, because Ismael was Abraham's best, but Isaac was God's finest. Hallelujah!!! God always accomplishes far more than we grasp.

Know that you are waiting in the promise as you wait.  This way you won't  term your time of wait a delay. And while you're waiting, don't question God, because doing so could lead to self-blame, because  there's nothing wrong with God. Then you start pointing at yourself. When this happens, the devil's allegation begins to take hold, thus preventing us from believing God. But, no matter what your position is, you can still trust  God for answering prayers.
