MY FRIENDS, IS YOUR HEAD UNDER WATER? IF SO, JUST KEEP BREATHING!!!
That is a title of a song by John Legend I have paraphrased to fit what I am trying to say, so today we will refocus our attention in another direction than that of Mr. Legend who seems to be dealing with a relationship with someone of the opposite sex.
But today my friends, we will depict those words as they relate to our relationship with God and the direction He is trying to take His chosen right here before He closes the history books above and returns to get his faithful.
Consistent with this, all who during this time in our life understands that when the storms of this life are a constant interference on our Journey to the promise land, Christ is only allowing these trials brought on by Satan to exist in our life so that we will be prepared for a time that is soon to come that we are not quite ready to handle.
So as we witness prophecy being fulfilled and look at the world we live in, a world that seems it is all under water with little hope of survival, as we remain focused, what Matt 24 tells us in regards to a “great tribulation, such has not occurred since the beginning of the world until now, nor ever will.
And Unless those days will be cut short, no life [will be] saved; but for the sake of the elect those days will be cut short,” seems to be closer than ever.
But my friends while at the same time that Christ prepares us for such a time, we must be able to survive with our head under water, and the storms and torrential rains, with Christ still the Master of our life.
In addition, we must be able at the same time to reach out to the world with the good news of the gospel that says, keep breathing there is a guiding force in God’s word and Spirit that will never stop supplying spiritual oxygen for His children that will allow you to continue to breath under all situations and circumstances if you will believe and endure till the end.
And as they begin to see the light of Christ through us, they will also begin to “Cast their cares on the Lord [as He] sustains them; and then they will also know that He will never let the righteous be shaken.”
But today my friends How far must your Faith be stretched before you realize that our God is an infinite God who has no limits in what He will do in guiding us to the promise land if we will only believe and endure.
For He tells us in Jeremiah 23:23-24 (KJV) Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? [my friends even when our heads are under water]….Do not I fill heaven and earth?
My friends today, maybe the storms seems to never cease and you are wondering how can I continue to breathe through it all. But If your desire is to finish this journey and walk those streets of gold in God’s pure and holy kingdom, than let what is going on in your life not be about what you are feeling at this point.
But let it only be about what you understand about the promises in God’s word and that He is “the resurrection and the life; and he, or she who believes in Christ will live even if he or she dies, and everyone who lives and believes in God will never die.” John 11;25-26 (NASB)
So friends stay focused, remain faithful, love one another and endure till the end and never forget to STUDY&PRAY
