God is so reliable

"In the morning, LORD, You hear my voice; in the morning I plead my case to You and watch expectantly"   Psalm 5:3   CSB

Mornings are normally the time when Christians have their 'Quiet time'; with the Lord. Mind you, not always, for some who work strange hours or have pressures with getting kids to school, it can be hit and miss. If you can, a quiet time with God is so important to how we will live through the day. It is a time to praise and worship God; read His word and pray to Him. Many times, we have concerns and we know that God is the only answer. As we call on Him and  share our concerns with Him, it is then the time when we should watch and wait, expectantly.

We should be expectant in all we do; we serve a God of miracles; a God who can change situations in the blink of an eye. And what's more, He is eager to do this. Smith Wigglesworth had a great faith statement, 'If God said it, I believe it and that, settles it. Nothing would change his mind about this and this is why he was so successful in his ministry. He totally lived on faith and waited expectantly for things to change, and mostly they did. Believing that what we ask for in prayer will happen, allows God to bring about great things on our behalf.

God gives us so many privileges, one being that we have His permission to walk into His 

house, holding our heads up high. Permission for this was offered through His death on the cross. Obviously, as we do this, we should bow before His throne of grace, where He tells us we are so welcome. Righteousness, together with love and protection are given us, free of charge as we continue to follow Him.

In this life, nothing can be relied on, we can be left out in the cold but, not by Jesus. He is 100% reliable in all He does and says. We can quite honestly confess that He will never let us down. How many times have people promised you something and then gone away and forgotten 

about it. Many times I am sure. Not with Jesus, when you place your trust in Him, He will in no way let you down. He is reliable and honest and so are His promises to us. You may have had people around you who have the ability to flatter with their lips v9. They may well flatter you 

with their supportive words and when they leave you, stab you in the back. Unfortunately, this is life. But Jesus sees all and we are allowed to take refuge under His wings. 

Let's just be grateful for the love and protection that He give us each day. With Jesus, we get a taste of Heaven and one day we will see this, every day.

If you don't know Jesus or, have fallen away, why not say this prayer right now:

Lord Jesus, I have sinned   

I ask you to forgive me and be my Lord and Saviour. Please come into my heart, fill me with Your Spirit and give me a brand new start today.

In Jesus' Name. Amen'
