I have some good news for you today! God isn’t participating in the recession! And He won’t need a stimulus package or bailout, either!
These tumultuous days may be the greatest season of our lives… the most fruitful that we have ever known! It will all depend on how we perceive them. It’s been said that “The circumstances of life don’t make me who I am; they reveal whose I am.”
Light always shines brightest in darkness. This is our time! Brothers and sisters, we were created for this day!
What does all this mean to you and me in these turbulent times? Like Queen Esther, you and I have been “born for such a time as this.” We have been chosen by our God to be here… now. Further, if we walk with God and trust Him, we will always have all we need to fulfill His purpose, and God is not limited by an economic recession!
A Refreshing Rundown of the Irrefutable Facts:
√ God is sovereign. Nothing is beyond His span of control! (Jer 23:24, Mt 10:29-31)
√ God has a plan for our lives (Eph 2:10) and that plan deals with the here and now!
√ God will judge our performance (2Cor 5:10)
√ Since He judges us based on whether we do what He asks of us, according to His will, such judgment would be unjust if we don’t have what we need to do it.
√ God is just (Ps 111:7, 2Th 1:6, Rev 15:3)
√ If God is sovereign and just, then He will always give you and I all we need to do all
God called us and put us here on purpose. He did this not so that we can experience the fleeting pleasures of this world, but as His Ambassadors and containers of His Spirit to bring His light to this dark world. Fear not! for the battle is the Lord’s and He will always be ready, willing, and able – to give us all we need to do all He asks! Press on in faith and in His strength!
