THE HORNETS’ NEST

Post date: Mar 15, 2012 1:21:14 PM

“The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, saith the LORD of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, saith the LORD of hosts”. Haggai 2:9

God employs various ways to open the eyes of His children to his treasures.  Most of these ways are not pleasant to the eyes and to the body, but one thing is certain, He will never leave us nor forsake us in every circumstance we find ourselves.   With or without a personal promise to anyone, God will always do that which pleases Him in the lives of all human beings.

When God stirs the hornets’ nest from under your feet, know that He is about to institute something new, something great, some lasting and something worthy of praise.  God has no intent to bring you to shame, spiritually, physically or materially.  He has no intent to keep you unmarried forever, keep you jobless forever, lonely, hungry, and fruitless, and Keep you sick or make you dependent on others for your basic needs the rest of your life.  All He intends for you are His absolute peace in everything you do, in every condition you face and to be fulfilled and joyful in His presence. He can make that happen.

The pains, cruelties and lacks we do experience sometimes in life are never a sign of God’s weakness or inability to prove Himself.  When God allows it, He has a better purpose in place just like He did with Job. 

Irrespective of what we may be seeing, hearing, experiencing and feeling, God is quite able, not by compulsion or show of strength, but by a display of His unconditional love and mercies to do all that He promised to do.  God always shows His power in His love, while the devil shows his power in his hatred.

One thing with God is that He is not obliged to give answers to every question we ask, but when God is silent on you, He is definitely not absent.  Never take God’s silence to mean His absence or hatred or weakness.  God do not often answer the why question we ask, but He often answer the how questions.  How did I get here, and how do I get out. “But He answered her not a word, and His disciples came and urged Him, saying; send her away, for she cries out after us”  Matthew 15:23

When God delays giving you answers, do not leave His presence and do not allow anyone or any condition to take you out of Him.  He will surely give you answer despite the silence. Your persistence is needed; just wait at His feet and the answer will come.  He cannot be silent forever.     

When God stirs the hornets’ nest from under our feet, He does that with a reason that is best known to Him.  Though the process will hurt, the result will surely amaze you and will overcome the pains you went through in the process. “He taketh away the first that he may establish the second”. Hebrews 10:9

God is not bound to disclose any of the reasons of His actions to us, but despite the reasons under which the nest is taken away, God is able to deliver us from our pains and difficulties. 

God will never take away something from us without replacing it with another far greater and better. You might be experiencing the shaking of your nest today, but remember;

He takes away the first that he may establish the second and the glory of the latter shall be greater than the former.
