Joyce Meyer – God’s Timing

Except the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain who build it; except the Lord keeps the city, the watchman wakes but in vain.—Psalm 127:1

During the three years of Jesus’ earthly ministry, people thought He was crazy. His own brothers were embarrassed by Him, and in an effort to save their reputation they told Him He needed to go somewhere else and do His works. If He was unwilling to do that, they told Him to take action and stop doing His works in secret. They tried to convince Him it was time to show Himself and His works to the world. They wanted Jesus to impress the people with what He could do.

He responded to them by saying, “My time (opportunity) has not come yet” (John 7:6).

How many of us could show that type of self-control? If you could do the miracles that He could do and were being made fun of and challenged to show your stuff, what would you do? Would you wait until you absolutely knew that it was the right time sanctioned by God?

It is good to have plans, and I believe we should plan boldly and aggressively, but we must be wise enough to know that our plans will ultimately fail without God. We must learn to wait for God’s plans to develop. True boldness moves in God’s timing.

Lord, I want to have a plan for my life

A reminder about America – Bro Bo in Hawaii

– a small history lesson
Talk about the United States today and bring up Christianity and the first thing that pops up is The Separation of Church and State. Do you believe this is truly what was intended by the people that wrote the Constitution?  Maybe, only for the Fact that they did not want a powerful “Church of England” in charge of the New Country.  Their plan was to leave the idea of churches for the people, with the people. The people of each State would decide what church is best for them. The federal government would have no control in this area.

That was the plan, but plans can change and The State Governments today all dance from the money strings attached to the Federal Government rules. It is not for me to call out or say what is right or wrong in the Government today. I am just one person, all I can do is ask you to think for yourself and trust God, not government.

You can make up your own mind as to what the Government is doing and not doing, how much control they have over your life. Then think about how much, if any; is God part of what the Government is doing. You can decide to follow what God teaches you in the Bible and grow and learn to be the Person God hopes you will be.

Take the time to ask questions and seek answers. Start with…Who do you trust with your Life?

Proverbs 1:7 KJ21 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction.

Psalm 127:1 KJ21 Except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it. Except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.

Proverbs 8:10 KJ21 Receive my instruction and not silver, and knowledge rather than choice gold;

2 Corinthians 4:6 KJ21 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

Philippians 3:7 KJ21 But what things were gain to me, those I counted as loss for Christ. 8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things and count them but dung, that I may win Christ

Remember to be Wise men who know the times and to know where the Wisdom comes from…God.

Peace be to you all from Bro Bo in Hawaii

– Life is a long journey but we all end up before the same God in Heaven, What will He say to you?

Saturday, November 17 — Psalm 127

1 Kings 11:1-25; John 15:18-16:4

 

God, you know my folly; the wrongs I have done are not hidden from you. Psalm 69:5

 

God forgave us all our trespasses, erasing the record that stood against us with its legal demands. He set this aside, nailing it to the cross. Colossians 2:13-14

 

Redemptive Savior, forgive us this day our sins as we try so hard to forgive those who have hurt and wronged us. Remind us that we are not perfect. Just as you show us grace and understanding, so should we do the same to others. Amen.
