He Commands It All

 

"The Lord will command His lovingkindness in the daytime, and in the night His song shall be with me— A prayer to the God of my life. The Lord will command his lovingkindness." ~ Psalm 42:8

What a powerful statement. That no only does God command tangible things like the wind and the waves. He doesn't just have the power to turn hearts of stones to hearts of flesh. He doesn't just have power to move mountains. But He commands His lovingkindness. Which tells us that no matter what we're going through, God can change it just like that. 

God commands it all. Which means we don't have to. Let go today and let God's command take over.

God bless,

Follow The Leader (Part 8)

"The Lord had said to Abram, 'Go from your country, your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you. I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing... So Abram went, as the Lord had told him." ~ Genesis 12:1-4

Often times, following God's calling requires us to leave that which is familiar or comfortable to us.

In Genesis 12, God told Abram to leave the land, people, and household with which Abram was most familiar and to go to a new, foreign, unfamiliar land.

While that command may have been a tough pill for Abram to swallow, after the command was a promise. God promised that if Abram obeyed, He would bless Abram and make his name great (in fact, he would change Abram's name entirely).

But in order to receive the promise of God, Abraham had to obey the command of God - that is, the command to leave the familiar and enter the unfamiliar.

So, the question is, how uncomfortable are you willing to be? And if the answer is not very, then are you really ready to follow God's calling on your life? You can't complain about how slow things might be moving if you're not ready, willing, and able to step out on faith when He tells you to.

God bless,

Spreading The Gospel (Part II)

Before Jesus ascended into Heaven after His resurrection, He gave His disciples this command: "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature." (Mark 16:15)

While we may not be preachers, we can all take part in spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ in our own way. Whether it be through writing plays or blogs like me, or some other means, God has called us to spread his message throughout the world.

So, what are you doing to take part in this great command of God?

God bless,
J.W.
