When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. Isaiah 43:2 NIV
When we truly sell out to God and give Him what is His, asking Him to take our whole life and use it for His glory, then and only then, can he perform the work through us that He has planned for our lives.
There are so many excuses we can make as to why we want to hang on to this part of our lives or to that part. We don't fully release every part to Christ Jesus, so that He can do a wonderful work through us.
I was reading the lyrics in an old Baptist Hymnal earlier this evening, the words to the song, "Trust and Obey," struck home to me. trust and obey, for there's no other way to happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.
Being obedient is not very popular in today's society. We want to do as we please. No limits, no rules, no boundaries. Whatever feels good, is convenient, is fastest to get to what we want, that is the way we like it. Unfortunately, when there are no limits, no boundaries no rules or consequences, then there is chaos. We are starting, to experience the consequences of our selfish lifestyles now in our society.
Children are rulers over their own parents. Parents are at wit's end, because they don't know what to do with little Johnny and Suzy. They don't understand because they gave them everything they wanted and never let them feel what it was like to loose. Now, they are ungrateful, lazy and disrespectful.
We are to be obedient to Our Lord Jesus Christ and to His Holy Word, The Bible. There are so many promises that he has for those who keep His commandments. The Bible has plenty to say about how to raise our children. If we follow God's outline in His Holy Word, He is faithful to bless His children. But, it doesn't have to be hard. God will give us the strength we need to follow Him and obey Him if we are faithful to pray and read our Bible everyday.
There is an enemy that is real, Satan. He wants to steal from us and kill us. We need to be mindful that he would like nothing better than to destroy our families, keep us upset and from doing the will of God. Let the Holy Spirit guide your heart and trust The King of Kings. He said he would never leave us nor forsake us. I love My Lord and Savior and can never thank Him enough for paying my debt at Calvary.
If you have never accepted Him as your Lord and Savior, please don't wait. Ask Him to forgive you of your sins, believe that He is the son of God and commit your life to Him right now before it is too late.
There is a real place called Hell. If we don't ask Jesus to forgive our sins and come into our hearts, then that is where we will spend all of eternity. How long is eternity? It never ends. There is nothing more important in this life that is worth spending all of eternity in a devil's hell burning forever.
God loves you right where you are and there is nothing he will not forgive you for. Ask Him, trust Him and get in a Bible believing Church.
