DARKEST BEFORE DAWN


Ever notice how,when you are on the brink of a breakthrough,that everything goes crazy?
Ever notice how just when you think things are getting better,they somehow get worse?
And then, instead of us clinging to God, we doubt,we "throw our toys" and then say "Why me ,Lord?"
I read somewhere once that we can only say " Why me .Lord?" if we also say "Why me Lord?' when God blesses us out our socks.

Because,somehow the nature of man, is that we want victory without the battle.
We want to get to the throne, but don't want to go to the Cross(which is where our journey to the throne must begin).
We want Canaan,but don't want to go through the desert.
We want to be built up , to be better people,but we don't want to go through the fire.

James1says: 2Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. 4Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.

and also...
v 12Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.

Do yourself a favour,and read the entire first chapter of James,I,m sure it will change some perceptions you may have or for some, it may confirm to you,that you are exactly where HE wants you to be,and please,don't judge yourself,by where someone else might be in life.
You must run YOUR race and you must run it with PATIENCE(smile),but that's a topic for another day.

So,P.U.S.H.(Pray Until Something Happens) and don't doubt for.....
".....he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. 7That man should not think he will receive anything from the Lord; 8he is a double-minded man, unstable in all he does.

I pray that this blog blesses you all as much as it blesses Dazz and I on the daily,as God builds us up for the work He has prepared for us.

Have a FANTASTIC,BLESSED day.

Your B.I.C.
