During this time of raising fund's for Jamaica, I have had a very hard time and it was really easy for me to feel as if I was never going to make it, the feeling of defeat was heavy on my mind, but because of the word's of my Pastor and the people of my church, their encouragement helped change my attitude and it's made me realize that I wasn't going to get there when I want to, but when God wants me to get there.
Even Moses felt defeat before he went to Pharaoh, in Exodus 3: 11-12 "But Moses said to God, Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh, and that I should bring the Children out of Egypt"? So He (God) said, "I shall certainly be with you and this shall be a sign to you: When you have brought the people out of Egypt, you shall serve God on this Mountain." God Knows us better than we do, He made us.
We cannot allow our lives to be dictated by our feelings. Our feeling are fickle and deceptive. God will never do His deepest work in the shallowest part of our being. People who live by there feeling often live defeated lives. We cannot wait until we feel like trusting and obeying God, and we can't wait until a crisis hits to work up a strong belief system. Feeling and circumstances will change constantly, but God's word is SURE and He will never Change.
When we think of the hero's of the Bible, we think of people who were called by God to make a major impact in their day. That wasn't always the case, however;
In the Old Testament, for example, many of the prophets preached for years with little or no response. The nation of Israel ignored, and even mocked their warning. These prophets often saw little change in attitudes and actions, yet they continued to preach in obedience to the Lord. They didn't let their feeling stop them, can you imagine if they had? Wow, where this world would be now, if they had stopped.
I have learned a lot in the past few years, I have also spent more time in God's Word, I'll end today's Blog with this scripture:
1Cor. 15:58 So, my dear brother and sisters, be strong and immovable. Always work enthusiastically for the Lord, for you know that nothing you do for the Lord is ever useless.
