Be Hoopoe

There will be times in our life when the evils of this world and world system will be overwhelming and, in many situations, seem to have no restraint. These are the times we need to affirm our faith and understanding in the timing of God. Remember we were also in sin and disobedience and his Grace, Mercy, Patience, and Love was extended to us.  He gave us time and space to consider our evil ways and to stop and turn from our sinful ways.  Let the fruits of the Holy Ghost have its perfect work in your life and continue to do good.  Let your light shine before people so that your works and lifestyle will Glorify the Father and bring honor and recognition to the Son our Lord Jesus Crist. 

Praise is common to those who are upright in heart.  As we draw closer to the Lord, we start to notice all his goodness, mercy, love, kindness and faithfulness towards us.  We begin to appreciate who he is in our lives personally and that meditation and remembrance springs forth with honor and glory to who he is and will forever be in our life.  This is one of the many reasons we his people give him praise. 

Let us remember our God in all that he is to us personally and all that he has revealed to us in the Word of God for he is sovereign and perfect in all his ways.  As the heavens are far above the earth so is he ways far above our ways. Many things are not understandable to us concerning what he allows to take place based on our gift of choice both good and evil.  Rest assured that his laws shall not be destroyed even when It seems this world and world system has gotten the victory for a season.  Rest and be still and know that God the creator of all things is and will forever be GOD. 

It is good for us to remember the works of the hands of our God and to understand that all that is and will be created from nothing is the Lord our God.  He is our King of Glory now and forever for we have chosen the God of all creation to be our God. 

We all have times in our lives in which our faith in God will be tested to the length of our ability. These are the times we need to go back to our foundation of faith which is hidden in the scriptures. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. Eat of the spiritual food of the Saints which is the word of God to strengthen your faith and meditate on his promises. Man shall not live on earthly food alone but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God. Remember that Gods timing is not ours and let persistence have its perfect work in your life. 

In times of perplexity and distress remember the works of the Lord God in our own life. It is written they overcame by the word of their testimony and by the Blood of the Lamb. We build our personal faith and trust from the wealth of our own experiences and of those who testify of God goodness in their lives.  If we continue to strive for the maturity of the faith, we will always have cause to give praise and to shout for Joy even when our emotions are in opposition. 

Great is our God and Awesome is he.  We will never comprehend the fullness of his Greatness for he is God.  Let us reverence and give honor to his name and bring offerings of praise and thanksgiving for all that he is and for all that he has done in the lives of all his creations. 

We have entered the beginning of birth pains and the stating of those things that must come to pass as told in scripture.  Evil will continue to increase on the earth as told to us before the rapture and then those things that must come to pass during the tribulation.  It is easy to get cauth up in the prosperity of evil doers.  However, we must continue to strive for the perfection of our faith and relationship with Christ Jesus remembering we are not citizens of this present world and only here for a short season.  We are to love our Lord God, Others and learn to do his will in submission and obedience. We are to inter into greater depths of our relationship with Christ and prepare ourselves in holiness, righteousness, and consecration unto the Lord we serve. 

Let us not forget the lord our God and all of his benefits and mercies he continues to show to us by our love and obedience to his laws and in the building of our personal relationships in Christ Jesus. 

Often, we tend to forget the goodness of our God and his provisions. We often take these benefits for granted.  Let us not become complacent in our thanksgivings unto God and remember his blessings concerning us. It is easy to focus on the things going on around us and miss the good that is yet being done in our lives.  Let’s continue to stay in a mindset of thanksgiving for all that he has ordained in our lives.
