I have often wondered why even the small plans I make are not successful. God could have given me that job. He could have helped me if he really loved me. We often think along these lines, don’t we? We have a lot of questions that we want God to answer much like Job had when he went through a crisis until. He suffered a lot and when his patience ran out, he began to turn to the Lord of the universe asking for understanding of his ways and understanding of why he had allowed the events that had plunged his life into darkness.
Not knowing can be very disturbing. So I thought I’d share what little I understand from the Bible about the heart of God that God wants to reveal to all who are repentant and humble enough to listen. We are always before a righteous Savior and God who had perfect wisdom and understanding. Job also confessed that his understanding was poor and that he had asked questions whose answers were elevated for his understanding. Job concluded by confessing that he was too weak to behold a mighty God and repented in dust and ashes.
God wants to free us from the slavery of postponement. He wants us to be clear about the path and direction that he is taking us. We have all the freedom to ask and receive an answer. Nevertheless we must ask in spirit and in truth. If our hearts are too burdened or entangled in many worries, we too will be like the seed that fell among the thorns and could not produce. none Fruit.
God expects us to listen knowing that he is good and that he really cares. Yes it is true, we do not always understand and we need God to clarify things for us. But God expects us to have a fertile heart so that the seed of the Word that speaks takes root and stands firm for God to raise up.
For certainly the Words that He utters never return empty and they could not bear fruit if He spoke regardless of the condition of our hearts. It is imperative for us prepared our hearts prior to we present our questions to God so that He can speak clearly Y audibly everybody. Suffering and trials often prepare us and we feel able to listen when we are in a difficult place. We desperately want to listen to God so that he can light our paths. The amazing truth is that He can show us what we are doing wrong and point us in the right direction..
His ways are truly beyond discovering unless we humble ourselves and let Him keep us close to His heart. We are unlucky because we serve a loving God who wants us to listen to his heartbeat. His plans are too grandiose and he just does his best.
I have a daughter and I won’t let her eat ice cream from a street vendor. I want her to have the best ice cream possible. So I take her to an air-conditioned room with great seats, a musical environment and fresh air for her to enjoy her gift.
So it is with God. We want to choose something that is easy on the side of the road. But He says, “Wait, I’ll take you to the living room.” Often the living room is a bit remote. We may have to walk a bit and it is often under construction. The people who were supposed to build the hall were facing some problems, so we also waited outside until the hall opened and then we can go inside.
See, how easy life can be if we just understand that our Father is too big for us to easily figure out. He always makes grandiose and elaborate plans for each of His children. But, we His children are often slow to understand. We want things, even the tiniest crumbs in a hurry. We are not willing to wait on God or God for the best and this is the unfortunate reason why many Christians are offended and bitter towards God. They are not willing to praise him with all their hearts. It’s hard for them to ask, that’s why they don’t receive. They don’t even have a ride with Him because they think it’s useless and He won’t do them a dime.
we see it objectively through the lens of ‘What can He do for me?’ Well, he couldn’t even save himself from the cross? This is not a way of thinking because it indicates that your heart has become bitter towards God and you are not willing to give God a second chance to work in your heart, your feelings and your life. Trust Me, He deserves your love and affection. He waits and longs for your prayer. He wants to brighten your path. He is worried about his eternal future. He doesn’t want your life to be worth living, rather he wants you to be an overcomer and receive the best rewards in Heaven.
God only calls not qualified. You know that too much grading is an impediment to progress. To progress with God, many times we need to empty ourselves of all our achievements and our knowledge and approach Him like a little child willing to learn from Him and trust Him with all our hearts. He wants us to go the distance with Him because He has so much to teach and share. He truly is a loving and caring Father who loves us deeply. He wants the best and he will be by your side all the days of your life, to take care of you and give you the desires of your heart.
Constant love is what makes us victorious in Him. His Presence removes all the thorns and thistles that choke His word. He wants to celebrate you. He wants to smile with you and he wants to enjoy your love. He wants you to turn to Him every moment of your life. he truly understands everything you go through He really waits for your love. But we are often caught up in worldly concerns.
We simply fail to understand His idiom everybody. His language is very clear and evident in the Bible. His language is one of perfection, kindness, sweetness of soul and fidelity. It is a symbol of supreme love, perfection and greatness. He is truly a wonderful Father to get to know. We want to walk with him, towards his glory, because there is no one like him. He alone is perfect. While we were sinners, He still loved us and gave His own Son for us. How great is his love for us! In fact, He is worthy of our praises and our complete love. He just do his Word and when you fail he comes back and ask him to give you the strength and grace to do his Will.
Don’t think He loves you less because you failed Him. His love is immutable. His love never ends. There is no length or depth or height in the love of him who knows NO LIMITS. This is the wonderful God we serve. He is the Alpha and the Omega. God of all creation and master planner of the Universe, He truly is wisdom personified. He is always thinking of you and planning everything to your advantage.
The fact is that we are too simple to understand His huge and gigantic plans for our life and we settle for the smallest thing we can receive. We do not understand that God does not want us to settle for the latter. His love is so vast and so great that he wants to lavish on us the best things. We must also receive the great gifts and not get stuck in receiving the smallest gift because God wants us to work toward the best plan he has for us..
So don’t set your sights low. You will not have what you want because God will give you something that is you can’t think about. In fact, this is the secret that Joseph discovered. Abraham also understood that God would only give him his first child when he had the mind of God, desiring countless children like the stars in the sky. We think he waited too long. But it wasn’t so much about the time. final score. It was about giving Abraham a title that would be his until eternity. it was about the glory that would encompass him in the sky. The position and rank to which Abraham was entitled as a result of his diligent perseverance was not something that he could pay a penny for. price for the purpose God is His wisdom saw Abraham rise like a star and shine brightly for the rest of eternity. Amen.
