Do you know that It is impossible for God to lie? He keeps His word. His word is a VOW or PROMISE to us. What He says and what He does are all the same.
He is the same yesterday, today and forever. We are the ones that need to change into His likeness. Our heavenly Father does not change. For this very reason we have a refuge and hope in Him that is an anchor for our lives. (Heb. 6:18-19)
His Word that has been spoken will not return without a harvest in our lives - if we walk in obedience to it. It is also the same with what we say with our mouths. There will be a harvest. We need to renew our minds by knowing the Word of God and hearing the voice of Spirit.
If we walk according to the Flesh, there be a harvest of the Flesh.
If we walk according to the Spirit, (think and act upon those things which are pure, lovely, praise worthy, and virtuous), our harvest will be according to the Spirit.
Today the question is; do I keep my word and am I speaking and walking according to the Flesh or the Spirit?
God is transforming us into His image every day as we surrender our lives to Him. Our Father is good and always keeps His word. Let us be people who keep our Word also. Maybe we should not be so quick to say YES to something we will not be able to follow through with. Let your Yes be Yes, and your No be No. Do not be swayed to say Yes, because of fearing what man may think. I know how this works. I have been plagued by this myself. God has helped me to be able to say No - even to good things. Priorities in our lives are so important. Everyone will not always like you. STAND UP AND BE WHO GOD MADE YOU TO BE-BUT MAKE SURE IT IS WITH GENTLENESS AND RESPECT TO ALL.
We can stand in confidence and know the God we serve always does what is best even when we do not understand it.
Ps. 13
5But I have trusted, leaned on, and been confident in Your mercy and loving-kindness; my heart shall rejoice and be in high spirits in Your salvation.
6I will sing to the Lord, because He has dealt bountifully with me.
“Before I formed you in your mother’s womb I chose you.Before you were born I set you apart.I appointed you to be a prophet to the nations.”
Psalms 22
| 2. My God, my God, why have You forsaken me? [You are] far from my salvation [and] from the words of my moaning. | ב. אֵלִי אֵלִי לָמָה עֲזַבְתָּנִי רָחוֹק מִישׁוּעָתִי דִּבְרֵי שַׁאֲגָתִי: | |
| 3. My God, I call out by day and You do not reply, and at night I do not keep silent. | ג. אֱלֹהַי אֶקְרָא יוֹמָם וְלֹא תַעֲנֶה וְלַיְלָה וְלֹא דוּמִיָּה לִי: | |
| 7. But I am a worm and not a man; a reproach of man, despised by peoples. | ז. וְאָנֹכִי תוֹלַעַת וְלֹא אִישׁ חֶרְפַּת אָדָם וּבְזוּי עָם: | |
| 8. All who see me will mock me; they will open their lips, they will shake their head. | ח. כָּל רֹאַי יַלְעִגוּ לִי יַפְטִירוּ בְשָׂפָה יָנִיעוּ רֹאשׁ: | |
| 9. One should cast his trust upon the Lord, and He will rescue him; He will save him because He delights in him. | ט. גֹּל אֶל יְהֹוָה יְפַלְּטֵהוּ יַצִּילֵהוּ כִּי חָפֵץ בּוֹ: | |
| 10. For You drew me from the womb; You made me secure on my mother's breasts. | י. כִּי אַתָּה גֹחִי מִבָּטֶן מַבְטִיחִי עַל שְׁדֵי אִמִּי: | |
| 11. Upon You, I was cast from birth; from my mother's womb You are my God. | יא. עָלֶיךָ הָשְׁלַכְתִּי מֵרָחֶם מִבֶּטֶן אִמִּי אֵלִי אָתָּה: | |
| 12. Do not distance Yourself from me, for distress is near; for there is none to help. | יב. אַל תִּרְחַק מִמֶּנִּי כִּי צָרָה קְרוֹבָה כִּי אֵין עוֹזֵר: | |
| 13. Great bulls have surrounded me; the mighty ones of Bashan encompassed me. | יג. סְבָבוּנִי פָּרִים רַבִּים אַבִּירֵי בָשָׁן כִּתְּרוּנִי: | |
| 14. They opened their mouth against me [like] a tearing, roaring lion. | יד. פָּצוּ עָלַי פִּיהֶם אַרְיֵה טֹרֵף וְשֹׁאֵג: | |
| 15. I was spilled like water, and all my bones were separated; my heart was like wax, melting within my innards. | טו. כַּמַּיִם נִשְׁפַּכְתִּי וְהִתְפָּרְדוּ כָּל עַצְמוֹתָי הָיָה לִבִּי כַּדּוֹנָג נָמֵס בְּתוֹךְ מֵעָי: | |
| 16. My strength became dried out like a potsherd, and my tongue cleaves to my palate; and You set me down in the dust of death. | טז. יָבֵשׁ כַּחֶרֶשׂ | כֹּחִי וּלְשׁוֹנִי מֻדְבָּק מַלְקוֹחָי וְלַעֲפַר מָוֶת תִּשְׁפְּתֵנִי: | |
| 17. For dogs have surrounded me; a band of evildoers has encompassed me, like a lion, my hands and feet. | יז. כִּי סְבָבוּנִי כְּלָבִים עֲדַת מְרֵעִים הִקִּיפוּנִי כָּאֲרִי יָדַי וְרַגְלָי: | |
| 18. I tell about all my bones. They look and gloat over me. | יח. אֲסַפֵּר כָּל עַצְמוֹתָי הֵמָּה יַבִּיטוּ יִרְאוּ בִי: | |
| 19. They share my garments among themselves and cast lots for my raiment. | יט. יְחַלְּקוּ בְגָדַי לָהֶם וְעַל לְבוּשִׁי יַפִּילוּ גוֹרָל: | |
| 20. But You, O Lord, do not distance Yourself; my strength, hasten to my assistance. | כ. וְאַתָּה יְהֹוָה אַל תִּרְחָק אֱיָלוּתִי לְעֶזְרָתִי חוּשָׁה: | |
| 23. I will tell Your name to my brothers; in the midst of the congregation I will praise You. | כג. אֲסַפְּרָה שִׁמְךָ לְאֶחָי בְּתוֹךְ קָהָל אֲהַלְלֶךָּ: | |
| 24. You who fear the Lord, praise Him; all the seed of Jacob, honor Him, and fear Him, all the seed of Israel. | כד. יִרְאֵי יְהֹוָה | הַלְלוּהוּ כָּל זֶרַע יַעֲקֹב כַּבְּדוּהוּ וְגוּרוּ מִמֶּנוּ כָּל זֶרַע יִשְׂרָאֵל: | |
