The Hand of God at Work
When you call upon the Lord, he will hear you. The hard part is waiting. Many variables in this life can make us impatient, such as fast-food services or selecting express delivery when we order online. We must understand that God does not move when we snap our fingers.
David expressed a plethora of times how much he depended on the Lord through the joy and sadness of his words in his psalms. He showed that being vulnerable to God is what made his relationship so meaningful. But what’s most important is the honor and praise that he gave before submitting his request to him.
Thanking God should never leave our tongue. He’s the reason that our lives continue to move on. Even though we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. This important piece in our history gives us the chance to be born again by giving our lives to God. While we were lost, the devil tried his best to take us down by drowning us in sin, but God’s hand reached down and pulled us up to breathe the new life he had waiting for us. This should give us hope that even in the midst of hard times such as death, we should still give him honor and praise. It is only in him that we can get the full value of life on earth and in heaven.
So never fear, the hand of God will always deliver your blessing on time.
Prayer:
Father God, we are forever grateful for the many opportunities that you give us to change our life around. We must continue to tell the devil and the sin that he offers us no and pick up our cross daily. Continue to give us grace by showing us that we can’t do it alone, but with you it’s already done. In the powerful and matchless name, we do pray, Amen.
