CONFIDENCE IN THE GOD YOU KNOW

Post date: May 23, 2012 7:03:10 AM

What God did for, and with others, He can do it also for you. When your level of success is not in harmony with your everyday efforts and determinations in life, the next thing that crops up in your mind is the feeling of disappointment. These feelings when allowed to linger longer will start searching where to lay the blame. Blame kills dreams and visions, weakens the hands and discourages the heart, while continuous determination elevates enthusiasm, and this is where I want you to be. Where faith and prayer fails to deliver you, your confidence in the God you know will deliver you. God cannot disappoint you in all things every day.    

I want you to remember that though you have the gift of prayers and can really pray, life is not an all win scenario. It is not subject to our effectiveness and active maneuvering in life, though these are sometimes needed. Life and success all depend on your God and on your daily relationship with Him.

Confidence in the God you know can make a great difference in your life right now despite your weakness, delays, denials and continuous disappointments. Confidence in the God you know gives hope and assurance of an expected change and help in all things irrespective of their magnitude and level of opposition. Confidence in your prayers gives you the assurance to continue in faith, and faith in your God makes all things to become possible. By faith in your God you can overcome all adverse situations in life. The wheels of progress begin with the practical exercise of your faith in the positive direction because of the God you know.

Men will disappoint you but your God will not. Your very best might not be yielding its expected fruit yet, but keep doing that good thing you are doing, God will step in one day to help you.  Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego did their very best when they were in trouble, their best was not good enough to deliver them, but their continuous confidence in the God they knew despite what they heard and saw did deliver them at the end. That same God is your God   

You might be feeling lonely in your situation, remember, the fourth man (Jesus Christ) did join this three men of confidence and faith at the peak of their adversity, that fourth man will also join you as He did for, and with others. You might have been given another name to suite their purpose, but He knows your original name and your actual location.

“--Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, and to cast them into the burning fiery furnace. ------Therefore because the king's commandment was urgent, and the furnace exceeding hot, the flame of the fire slew those men that took up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, fell down bound into the midst of the burning fiery furnace. Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonied, and rose up in haste, and spake, and said unto his counsellors, did not we cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered and said unto the king, True, O king. He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God. Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the mouth of the burning fiery furnace, and spake, and said, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, ye servants of the most high God, come forth, and come hither. Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, came forth of the midst of the fire. And the princes, governors, and captains, and the king's counsellors, being gathered together, saw these men, upon whose bodies the fire had no power, nor was an hair of their head singed, neither were their coats changed, nor the smell of fire had passed on them” Daniel 3:20-27

That is what the God you know will do for you from now on.
