The Bible is full of promises (over 7,000). It is God’s operating system. He commands us to do something, promising a great reward when we obey. If you think clearly about this and know something about the nature of God, you will understand that this is all for our good. God is not trying to rule over us to merely show His power … He’s seeking to help those He’s created find the best path for their lives.

It took my several years. I tried living on my own power and wisdom for most of my teenage years. It was a complete disaster. I was miserable. I made dumb mistakes and I had no power to overcome even the smallest sins.

You can ignore Gods Word and resist God’s Spirit control in your life. But be assured of this: you have chosen a deadly path and you will find yourself established on that road. But you can choose to follow Christ. You can love His Word and gladly yield to His Spirit. The result over time is a life established on the right path. And soon you will find yourself running with the wind at your back, for you will be free!

There is nothing that wakes me up spiritually any quicker than when it seems that God is not communicating with me. The reason? I know that my life can bear no fruit if God is not leading me. In fact, it does just the opposite. Jesus said to His disciples in
John 15:5, “Apart from Me you can do nothing.”

Everything has changed.
If we fail to look up and ask God what He is saying during this moment, we are the most foolish. God always has an agenda. He has slowed us down and shut us up to Himself. There are no real answers or explanations anywhere else.

It is the common, national pastime to laugh at and ridicule our leaders. To castigate anyone who disagrees with us and seek to destroy them. To exalt their sins and weakness instead of praying for them (as Paul instructed in 1 Timothy 2). Not so with David.
Because David honored others, others honored him, and, most importantly, God honored him also. It would raise the spiritual and emotional temperature of our nation if we would follow the example of this great king and the ultimate King who “when reviled, reviled not again.”

Ruth was faced with multiple choices where she could have chosen an easier path, a more selfish decision. But her continued submission to the will of God led her to be a great woman in God’s redemptive plan. She had no idea in the moment of the legacy that she would leave or the part she would play. She just decided to take the next steps in obedience to the Lord and service to her family. And God used her to save the world.

God is waiting on us to come to our senses and cry out to Him. If we will turn in humble repentance, He will hear our cry and send the deliverance we need. If we continue to look to ourselves with prideful self-sufficiency, He will let us go on in our feeble self-help program to bring us to the end of ourselves. We are made to live on God and in His perfect love for us, He will use whatever means necessary to remind us.

You may not be handling tent pegs, but God has a part in His kingdom for you to play, regardless of who you are. But, like Deborah, Barak, and Jael, you must rise up and fulfill your role by following Him explicitly. Never underestimate how greatly God can use YOU, when you are humbly following HIM.

It has always been our great dilemma. From the beginning of time right up to this hour we have wrestled between which gods we will serve. We have been tempted since the Garden to find any alternative other than the Lord God Himself. And we have bitten hard and fast at the Enemies bait. He is unconcerned about which god we follow, just as long as we do not follow the Lord God Jehovah.

Everybody wants to be successful. Some achieve success in the eyes of the world. But how can we be a success in the eyes of God? How can we so live that eternity counts our lives as successful?
