From Facebook friend Nick John Schneider Greetings: There are the days that its difficult to understand Gods plan. Many times instead of standing and waiting for clear direction from God, we get anxious, our patience wears thin and we want to step out and do what we think God is telling us to do. We go ahead and do our own thing. How many of you know that usually leads to trouble, disappointment and unnecessary detours? There is a Rock we can turn to when storm clouds fill our lives. I know it sounds simplistic and hard to understand, but those are the days, weeks, months and sometimes years when we have to pray without ceasing. In Jeremiah 29:11 we read, For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord. They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and hope. In John 14:27 we read, I am leaving you with a gift - peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give as a gift the world cannot give. So dont be troubled or afraid. Proverbs 1:33 states, But all who listen to me will live in peace, untroubled by fear of harm. If we listen, God will speak. When he speaks there will be a peace that passes all human understanding. You will know that you know that you know. There are days that you want to move forward, but you can not. But know that you dont have to move backward either. Many times in the Bible we read about people who were simply commanded to stand. Go to the link below and listen to Country recording artist Alan Jackson sing about standing firm in the old hymn, “Standing on the Promises”. He sings: “Standing on the promises I cannot fall, Listening every moment to the Spirit’s call Resting in my Savior as my all in all, Standing on the promises of God.” youtu.be/PJ9ZJPIDkis Are you standing on the promises in the midst of your life storm or challenge? Are you standing on the promises in the good days and the bad? Blessings will follow, if we just stand. Be blessed.
