After the other days post.
I went to church, I haven't been going to church for a long time.
So I prayed, what I should do, and I'm still praying, because I believe that I'm on a journey.
The other day I spoke about being overwhelmed, and we can get that feeling into so much of our lives, that we can and have the tendency to believe the trap of it, and letting it take over us, in the way that we get ruled by it.
So I went to a different church because I was wanting to go somewhere that will help my belief again.
If I was totally honest with you, I have struggled this year to believe in God.
I was thinking, if i was just good at my job and I pray and read the bible, why then do I need to go to church?
I got into this, I was praying, that God will just be enough, for me just that one day.
And my friend if that's all that you have, God will come through, because that is where you are at this moment.
But what about your visions?
Your wonderful aspirations, and goals?
At what point in life do they fit in?
Are they on the benches, just watching you just take another day full of things?
One of those rainy day projects?
Perhaps you don't have that strength to get them going again.
Give God the glory my friend when you're in that space, when you're in that time of your life when you just don't know what to do or go or turn to.
It says in Joshua, Chapter 1, that we learn that Moses has died, so God rises up another leader for the Israelites, that means, the mantel is passed onto Joshua, now I imagine that Moses was writing down things, for Joshua to learn, and to study, so when his time came, he was more than able to lead them into the promise land, this was a land that was going to be there's, a land where you didn't have to pack up everything, and settle down for a few days, this was a land where they could build houses, plant vineyards and other plantations, and set up a temple, for God.
Because even the Tabernacle was able to be fully packed down and set up again.
God saw the big picture, and he wanted Joshua to see it too.
This was a big thing, a really big thing, that was going on, this was fulfilling the promise that God made to Moses.
And what time frame did God give Joshua to get ready?
3 days, this wasn't years this wasn't weeks, this wasn't months, it wasn't ''Oh it will happen one day, this wasn't a good intentional day.'' this was THE day.
And you know what?
Joshua had to do it, and he did, they packed everything up, and Joshua explained what God was doing so that the new generation of Israelites came to the promise land.
My friend are you in this place?
Where you can't stay, and you have some decisions to make?
You might have heard it once, that if you go shopping on an empty stomach you always buy more.
But today, go after God if that is the promise he made you, and he will carry it through to completion.
If you're in that place where you are on the line as it were, and you are being watched, reported about, written down and tested, know that you'll come through.
God isn't a unpromising God, he always works for your ability.
If you're wondering where, or how, or why?
Go to God, keep him in mind, because after all he did make you, and he knows what you can do and what you can't do, in your own strength.
God is always there, always.
He told Peter in the new testament to go out fishing and the first fish that you will catch will be the right amount of money in the fishes mouth, to pay for your depts.
The first fish, that he caught.
What's so amazing about that is, it's not the 2nd fish, it's not the 3rd fish, its not the hundredth fish, it's the first fish, and in that first fish, was the right amount of money.
God is good, and he knows what you need.
He knows that you need a place to stay in, food in the cupboard, fees to pay for the study, the right church at the right time in your life.
Amen?
Amen.
Well my friends, embrace a bigger vision, go after it, not because I told you to, but see what inspirations you get, some old ones will burst into new life.
