Oh...duh. Now I know why I couldnt sleep. I didnt get out our daily prayer from yesterday. Reading this made me think about so many things in my life right now, but this pain and health issue in particular. I have faith that God is going to do a Miracle, but sometimes in the moment, it can be a bit rough. We just have to hang in there. Surely I can go to sleep now...right. lol. If you need prayer, please dont hesitate to ask if you are awake right now, because it never fails. Once I pray for someone that God puts on my heart, I can finally go to sleep. Time to cast my cares on the Lord too. Good night all...hopefully... Todays Prayer Dear God of peace, make me perfect in every good work to do your will. Work in me that which is well-pleasing in your sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever (based on Hebrews 13:20-21). You are worthy of all praise, honor, and glory. Please see my worth through the blood of Jesus Christ, my Redeemer. Please forgive me of my shortcomings, and help me to live a holy life unto you, oh my God of peace. In Jesus name, amen. Gods Double-Talk TGIF Today God Is First Volume 1, by Os Hillman 10-22-2014 The Lord said to Moses, When you return to Egypt, see that you perform before Pharaoh all the wonders I have given you the power to do. But I will harden his heart so that he will not let the people go. Exodus 4:21 Have you ever had a boss tell you to do something only to have him sabotage your ability to complete the task? Nothing is more frustrating than to begin to carry out a task and have your superior thwart your effort to do what he asked you to do. Moses must have felt this way after God told him to go to Pharaoh and tell him to release the people of Israel. He said, I am going to give you the power to release the children of Israel by the miracles I will do through you. Yet at the same time, He told Moses they would not be released because He was going to put a hard heart in Pharaoh. How do we reconcile this? In my own life, I knew God called me to certain endeavors. Yet every time I turned around, a roadblock stood in my way. It took years of plodding along before the light came on as to why there was such a distance between what God called me to do and the manifestation of that calling. When David was anointed king of Israel, it was years before he realized the manifestation of that calling. There were a number of reasons for these delays. In the case of Moses and Israel, God wanted to demonstrate His power in such a way that generations would be able to hear the story of their deliverance from their ancestors. God wanted greater glory from the situation. God also wanted to deal with Egypt by sending specific plagues. Finally, the very process built character in Moses and tested Moses to see if he would stay the course. There is a time for everything. If God has called you to some endeavor and you are frustrated that it has not manifested, know that times of preparation and simmering are required before the vision can be achieved. Seldom does God call and manifest something at the same time. There is preparation. There is testing. There is relationship building between you and God that must take place. Once this is complete, you will see the vision materialize. Today God Is First (TGIF) devotional message, Copyright by Os Hillman, Marketplace Leaders.
