Through His Eyes

Some might say that you're too passive
You wait too long to act, the time is now!
But through His eye you've understood "be still, and know that I am God"
Some might say that at the end of the day
It looks like you haven't accomplished much!
But through His eyes He sees the hard work behind the scenes, when no one was around.
Some might say, "I don't see the results! Your plan looks like it's failed!"
But through His eyes He sees patience and the faith you've installed in Him.
Some might say you're looks aren't that great, or don't measure up to what they expect.
But through His eyes you are "fearfully and wonderfully made", whose price was paid!
So remember next time you hear words that seem to tear you down, God's vision is the clearest.
Hear His word's now!

Suppose


You've been called by God to do a great work for Him,
Maybe you've been running from it for a long time,
Perhaps you weren't paying attention or recognized His voice calling,
But you finally decided to stop running...
Finally decided to stop, listen, and realize it's His voice you've been ignoring all this time.
Excited and humbled by His assignment you accept the calling, though you may not have the big picture or all the details.

But suppose, for instance, you experience a time of illness,
and you lose your present employment,
Let's suppose your finances suffer,
Suppose the one person you thought you could lean on is not there for you,
Just suppose the people start criticizing the very work you've been called to do?

Or suppose.......

you simply trust?

"The Lord is my Shepard, I shall not be in want" Ps. 23:1

The minute we accept God's call ...Satan starts whispering into our ears things that fill us with fear and doubt until, if not careful, we are lead to a depressed state and simply give up!!! When you accept God's calling on your life, you must realize that you are about embark upon some fiery trials...

Trials that are the Devil's attempt to stop you from doing a great and mighty thing for God...
Trials that God allows to come so that we may be shaped, molded, and purified to what God wants us to be!!

So suppose you receive and act on God's word in childlike faith.
For God has said,'Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.'
So we can say with confidence, 'The Lord is my helper;I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?'(Heb.13:5-6)
