HIM

Of late all I have been doing is analyzing my life, fretting about it especially as I don’t like where I am now.
So with a lot of planning read as worrying taking over my life I had quickly forgotten that God has it in control and no amount of analyzing, fretting or so called planning can change what it is to be. I know so many self help gurus will disagree with me but since I believe in the Lord of lords ,there fore the master of the so called gurus I think will justify this statement by saying somehow whatever the situation it does work out for good as promised for those who love God and are called according to his purpose.(Romans 8:28)
I was reminded of the above beautiful fact today and I have never been so happy in the realisation that it isn’t about me but Him. Yes, there is me with all my shortcomings, dreams and desires but then there is Him the all knowing one, the great King eternal, the great I am, Jehovah Jireh my provider, Jehovah Rapha my healer forever faithful. And as if that is not enough His son is the greatest advocate, the bread of life, the chief cornerstone, the high priest ,the lamb of God, the Morning star.
He dutifully feeds the birds who do not sow or reap or store away barns and clothes the lilies of the valleys ever so beautifully so surely how much more will He be there for me.
After all is said and done I am human and I know in some moments the flesh is bound to get the better of me, get me on that wrong train of thoughts where things don’t seem to add up. The good news though is my weakness does not take away God’s strength. His ways are not our ways and are as the heavens are higher than the earth.
He is the only constant in life and we can’t be independent of Him. By His grace we live and by His grace still we know Him and by His grace yet still He lives on the inside of us and helps us live for His glory.
He is the master programmer, the only one who can add or subtract the days of our lives and knew us even before we were formed. Our lives are in His hand and the divine moment I had today is the invitation to yield to Him as opposed to taking matters in my own hands.
His hand changes circumstances and this same hand takes us places. It is this hand that gives us a new song and fulfills the number of our days. He is God in the heavens above and on the earth beneath.
It is He who dried the waters of the Jordan as he did to the Red sea until His people had passed over so that all the peoples of the earth may know that His hand is mighty and may fear Him the Lord our God forever.
Let not the world separate you from His love; the love of Christ. The Love of He, three in one, Father Son and Holy Spirit.

HOPE

New Year, new beginnings, February here already and yet somehow I feel like am in the same rut. The only thing that seems to have changed is am more alert of the situation.
I have already waited and believe God must be applauding me for waiting faithfully. And am eagerly awaiting for the reward, yes waiting actively especially as I learnt recently that waiting is a verb, a doing word uh.
Does everyone have to wait? Forget waiting for the birthdays and the dates like Christmas that come each year; I mean waiting for their dreams to get fulfilled.
Not locked up, not locked down, simply working so hard to get there and not seeming to get there. It comes out as mediocre not a bad place at all only it is lukewarm and shouting “barely making it” hence the pursuit for more.
Carrying on with the thought that waiting is a doing word, I continue doing right trying not to get consumed with what is going wrong and instead focus on what is right.
Good things come to those who wait and am holding on to that hope.
