“I HAVE GIVEN UNTO THINE HAND”!!!
God has always had A plan for His faithful Children “From In the beginning God created the Heavens and the earth” Gen 1:1
TO “It is finished: and He bowed His Head and gave up the ghost.” John 19:30
TO “There was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it.Matt.28:2
TO “For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord.” 1 Thess 4:16-18
TO “He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”Rev:21-4
TO “Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.” Revelation 20:6,
TO “And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.” Revelation 21:2
Yes my friends God has always had A plan for His faithful Children starting with IN THE BEGINNING. And His promise, and plan for us is “Be confident of this, that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. Plil 1:6
His plan for our life should always give us A reason to praise His name. The great controversy between good and evil is now going on for our Salvation or destruction, but if our desire is Salvation, there are times the HIGH WALLS OF OUR LIFE will seem impossible to get over.
But in the midst of our trials we should say “praise God from whom all blessings flow” For our life has already been planed “The Lord will keep your going out and your coming in from this time forth and forevermore.” Ps. 121:8 and also
The Lord directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives.” Ps 37:23 I go back to the Israelite’s when getting to the threshold of the promise land for the second time,
the only thing that stood between the multitude and their final destination of God’s promises was the High walls of Jericho. But God’s plan even forty years earlier was to fight this battle for them.
All they had to do was “trust and obey” “And the Lord said unto Joshua, See, I HAVE GIVEN UNTO THINE HAND Jericho.” Did you notice God did not say I will give you Jericho. He told Joshua I HAVE GIVEN UNTO THINE HAND a victory that will lead you into the promise land.
My friends God’s plan or promises did not change after forty years only there faith changed. Six days they marched around the walls once A day and on the seventh day they march around seven times and the walls fell.
FORTY YEARS TO REALIZED “THAT THE BATTLE ALL ALONG, WAS NOT THERE’S IT WAS THE LORD’S” Yes the battle is the Lords but it must be all about Him, and that can only happen when we make the decision to die to self and give it all to the Lord.
And then He can tell us I HAVE GIVEN UNTO THINE HAND not I will, or I will think about it, or maybe when you get old enough. No my friends the plan for our life was established on Calvary when He said it is finish.
So that tells me that crossing over the step walls of our life should never stop our praising God’s Name for God has already GIVEN UNTO THINE HAND. But first “ The desires of our heart must be the desires of the Good Shepherd’s heart, and that can only happen when Christ lives in us, and has full control.
And then “I will be with thee. I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee. Be strong and of a good courage.” Yes my friends shout God’s praises now In the midst of that High wall for we are in the final season of this life’s history the warning has gone out.
“And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one ACCORDING TO HIS WORK. Rev 22:12 If I read that text correctly it said ACCORDING TO HIS WORK . But You must Trust Gods plan for 1 cor. 1:9 says God is faithful, who has called you into fellowship with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
So now my friends go in and possess the land, which the Lord your God has GIVEN UNTO THINE HAND.”
So my friends today. Stay focused, remain faithful, love one another and endure till the end and never forget to STUDY&PRAY
