"Look among the nations and watch - Be utterly astounded! For I will work a work in your days which you would not believe, though it were told you" Habakkuk 1:5 NKJV
Just think, you may have been sitting on the subs-bench for a long time, with no hope of joining the game. And then suddenly, you are chosen to join the game. You may have been waiting for that 'Special person' to come into your life and are tempted to give up. And then, he or she are there and happiness gives birth in your life.
The sleepless nights you have endured with the fear that things will never change for the better. All around you, all you see is pain and heartache and you long to be able to do something to help - but what? Frustration; you've tried applying for that decent job, only to be pipped at the post by someone else.
'What can I do?' you cry out. You feel a little like Moses when God told Him to go to Pharaoh and rescue the Israelites. And you remember that Moses said to God, 'Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh and that I should bring the children of Israel out of Egypt.' Ex 3:11. And then you hear a still, small voice saying 'I AM, WHO I AM' Ex 3:14. And then God tells you 'I AM He who: Feeds you, Heals you, looks after you. Whatever you need I AM able.' Built around Matt 6:28-34
'That couldn't happen' you may say. Oh yes it could and may to some of you. You see, God looks for the faithful heart. He looks for the one who may moan a lot but is faithful enough to get the job done. Planet Earth has not given up on you yet, not at all. But God may be preparing you for something very special and only you are able to do it’ 'I can't do anything' Oh yes you can, God will train you and give you the confidence to do the work. Study Moses in Exodus Ch 3+4. He came up with every excuse under the sun but, God matched him on every one. 'Be utterly astounded! For I will work a work in your days which you would not believe, Hab 1:5. You can do all that God says you can do; because you are handpicked by Him to do some special task for Him.
'Ok then, what should I do?' God has the answer for you, right here: 'Also I heard the voice of the LORD saying: Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?' Then I said, 'Here am I. Send me'
Isaiah 6:8
So that is your answer, are you willing to say that to the Lord?
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'
