This is something that I wrote back in May 2011 and I just wanted to share it here. I would like to have your feed back on it.
If HIS faithfulness endures forever, why is it that OUR faithfulness toward him is temporary?
Why is it dependent on how our funds are flowing or how much it’s showing outwardly.
GOD loves us even when we are not at our best.
When things are not going as we as “Christians” expect, we begin to blend with the rest of the world.
We are not supposed to blend but to stand out as a light of hope.
We are supposed to lead people to Jesus who is our light.
But yet when our days look gray and our nights begin to get longer and harder, we forget of HIS grace and HIS blood that covers all.
HIS blood that saved us from the gates of hell.
Though our faith in him constantly fades and reappears, he still gave up HIS life for us.
He showed the he had faith that we could be the people who would be worthy of his return.
He was tortured and beaten in order that we might have faith in what HIS Father has in store for us.
And yet he was denied by those that followed him when the going got a little rough.
He was betrayed when someone felt his pockets could use a little filling up.
And still HIS life he gave up!!!!
“LORD, YOU ARE AWESOME, AND WORTHY OF ALL THE PRAISE!!!!”
This is what we cry out when things are going our way.
But let that day start going shaky!!
Just let our car or our kids act up, Or let a love one pass away.
Then that phrase may go another way!!
“LORD WHY ME?” Wait…..why you??
You…because you are the chosen few!!
The ones chosen to tell of his wonders and HIS works.
You…..because he wants to you to show that you have faith in him.
Because it is you that cries out “LORD ALL TO YOU I GIVE!!!”
But you don’t want to give up your home, your car, your kids, and Lord forbid your MONEY!!!
That selfishness kicks in real fast and faithfulness falls off.
We should all be like Job who passed HIS test.
He was stricken from all that he had and but he praised God still.
He praised God through his storm.
We have to mean what we say. Don’t just say it to fit in.
God needs to see in our heart that we have true faith in him.
We need to have the same faith in Him that he has in us!!!
“The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is thy faithfulness.” Lamentations 3:22-23
