Through the LORD’s mercies we are not consumed, Because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness. “ The LORD is my portion,” says my soul,“ Therefore I hope in Him!”
Lamentations 3:22-24 (NKJV)
The vicissitudes of life can be overwhelming. In a constantly changing and challenging world, believers must contend with realities and legitimate concerns of life yet with the mandate to uphold the presence of Him in us. A hostile world wants a blended world and will throw anything at God's children to make them blend. The unrelenting and uncompromising souls are attacked, frustrated and marked for destruction. In these does God's mercies manifest wholly in us, else we would have been swallowed up by the schemes of the adversary. At work, home, society and just everywhere we confront a relentless foe with a willing ally in our flesh, but we must continually arrest the arrester in our vessels and keep it where it belongs. The idea of free speech and rights of the flesh in the tripartite is invalid. Give the flesh free speech and a right and it will soon consume the entire body. Hence we must learn to contain our flesh while we wait patiently and quietly for the salvation of the Lord.
The LORD is good to those who wait for Him, To the soul who seeks Him. It is good that one should hope and wait quietly for the salvation of the LORD.
Lamentations 3:25-26 (NKJV)
Waiting on the Lord gives us clearer insight, vision, direction and perspective. There are no misses, strays, wastes, or near-misses. With the Lord, you are always on time and on target.
Be encouraged,
Afolabi
