He Leads Us
Your word is like a lamp for my feet and a light for my
path. Psalm 119:105
God isn’t going to let you see the distant scene. So you might as well quit looking for
it. He promises a lamp unto our feet,
not a crystal ball into the future. We
do not need to know what will happen tomorrow.
We only need to know He leads us and we will find grace to help us when
we need it.
Heaven
“Let us fix our eyes
on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him
endured the cross.” Hebrews 12:2 NIV
Remember, heaven was not foreign to Jesus. He is the only
person to live on earth after he had lived in heaven . . . he knew heaven
before he came to earth. He knew what awaited him upon his return. And knowing
what awaited him in heaven enabled him to bear the shame on earth.
God Never Gives Up
“He delights in mercy.
He will again have compassion on us.”
Micah 7:18-19, NKJV
When Joseph was dropped into a pit by his own brothers, God
didn’t give up.
When Moses said, “Here I am, send Aaron,” God didn’t give up
. . .
When Peter worshiped Him at the supper and cursed Him at the
fire, He didn’t give up.
God never gives up.
The Careful Gardener
“I gave you this work:
to go and produce fruit, fruit that will last.”
John 15:16
A good gardener will do what it takes to help a vine bear
fruit. What fruit does God want? Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness,
goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Galatians 5:22-23). These
are fruits of the Spirit. And this is what God longs to see in us. And like a
careful gardener, he will clip and cut away anything that interferes.
