Good day
Psalm 27:13-14
I would have despaired had I not believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for and confidently expect the Lord; Be strong and let your heart take courage; Yes, wait for and confidently expect the Lord.
Recently after time spent in worship, the Holy Spirit led me to share the following encouragement:
God wants us to know that His love is CONSISTENT towards us. His love isn't moved by our standards, ideals, performances or good works, for He loves us UNCONDITIONALLY!
He want us to know that because His love, goodness and faithfulness is so consistent; that that same love that was there for us a year ago is the same love that's there for us today ... tomorrow ... 10,20 years from now ... things may have changed in the natural - BUT His love towards us remains consistent!!!!!!
Because of this: we can enter our future with hope and joy (Jeremiah 29:11); we can be confident about our future's - because His love towards us will always be there. He will always be there. We don't have to be moved by what we see around us, what others say about us, what family or friends say about us - even what we may be thinking or saying about ourselves - Because - His opinion or thoughts towards us never change - it's still the same! - it's ALWAYS the same! His Love never fails!
We can be excited about our future; we should see ourselves filled with joy; we should be bold and confident about our future - God is still the same! - His love is still the same - He never changes - therefore His love never changes - He is LOVE! (1 John 4:8)
We can have faith for a better tomorrow because circumstances are subject to change and even while in the midst of them we must believe in His goodness towards us. Your future is not what you see right now - it's what God sees in you! - it's about what He says about you! - it's about His plan and agenda for your life! ... and His word has the highest authority - it's the highest truth! (Matthew 24:35, John 16:23), higher than what you may be feeling right now!
So cast aside those doubts, anxieties, fears or worries and know that God is consistent! Don't allow your circumstances to dictate your faith in God! Your faith must be rooted in the love of God towards you! And because His love is consistent, it means His goodness, faithfulness, mercy, patience, power, etc. - is consistently available and consistently active, towards you and for you!
Therefore my friend,
Be Bold
Be Brave
Be Courageous
Be Confident in YOUR God!
For His love towards you is consistent! ... always has been, and always will be ... Bless His Holy name, Amen.
