Who can know the Lord’s thoughts? Who knows enough to give Him advice? How impossible it is for us to understand the wisdom behind His decisions and His ways!
So don’t think highly of yourself, but fear what could happen if you stop trusting Him. Have we become tired of trusting Him, is that why we no longer ask for His help? Instead, give your bodies to Him, because of all that He has done for us. Remember, true worship of Him is living a holy life that He finds acceptable. Don’t copy the rituals and customs of other religions, but let Him transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.
Remember, God’s gifts and His call can never be withdrawn from you. So listen to the Lord who created you, “Do not be afraid, for I have ransomed you. I have called you by name; and you are Mine. When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up. Others have given up their lives so that you might have My book of truth! I allowed them to die, some were martyred and died horrible deaths so that you might have this book of truth. Remember that you are precious to Me, and I love you.”
When we become His witnesses, and His servants, we can bless those who persecute us; we can pray that God will capture their heart and bless them with His salvation. We will not pay back evil with more evil. We will do things in such a way that everyone can see we are honorable. Then evil will not conquer us, but we will conquer evil by doing good. So let us all wait quietly before God to hear Him and obey Him. Because your hope is in Him pour out your heart to Him, and understand that He is God. There is no other God- there never has been, and there never will be. From eternity to eternity He is God. Therefore, no one can snatch you out of His hand, and no one can undo what He has done.
Thank You Lord!
