Wondering & Not Sure Of What Step To Take Next?
God is saying to you in James 1:5 – If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.
Proverbs 2:6-7 also says – For the Lord gives wisdom; From His mouth come knowledge and understanding; He stores up sound wisdom for the upright; He is a shield to those who walk uprightly.
We and our children shall grow in the wisdom of God
Isaiah 8:18 says:
Behold, I and the children whom the Lord hath given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the Lord of hosts, who dwelleth in Mount Zion.
Therefore the plan of God over my children as it’s written in Jeremiah 29:11 stands in Jesus name!
No weapon formed against us shall stand and every tongue that raises against us in judgement is condemned in the name of Yeshua HaMashiach amen.
Psalms 34:17 says; 17 The righteous cry, and the Lord heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles.
No one of the promises over me and my children will fall in the name of Jesus
We shall not fear because God has not given us the spirit of fear but of boldness, love and a sound mind.
The Lord will break the teeth of our enemies as He did for Gildoen
Psalms 3:5-8
5 I lie down and sleep; I wake again, because the LORD sustains me.
6 I will not fear though tens of thousands assail me on every side.
7 Arise, LORD! Deliver me, my God! Strike all my enemies on the jaw; break the teeth of the wicked.
8 From the LORD comes deliverance. May your blessing be on your people.
When we read Judges 6, we see Gideon having a low moment. We find this youngest son from the weakest tribe crouching in the winepress trying to thresh wheat in secret, so the mighty Midianite army won’t get a whiff of his harvest and swoop down to steal it. All of Israel was feeling abandoned by God and their hearts were confused and resentful. Every time they tried to get back up, they were gleefully knocked down by some neighboring pagan army. God’s chosen people wondered if He had given up on them and chosen someone else to love, protect, and set apart for Himself.
But Israel wasn’t down because God had forgotten them. They were hiding in caves because they had stubbornly and persistently chased after evil for many years. They had established traditions and patterns that avoided God altogether. The paths they walked in their homes and in their towns led them in the ways of wickedness. They were in a rut, and it’s hard to look up and figure your way out of habitual sin.
It takes something dramatic to turn our hearts back toward God.
Gideon was trudging his sweaty rut like the rest of Israel when an angel of the Lord appeared to him. Why would an angel appear to him? It wasn’t because Gideon was the one honorable man among thousands; it was because God’s time was right to raise up a leader in Israel. It is God who marks the seasons, who raises up leaders, and who brings down empires. “Unless the Lord builds the house, its builders labor over it in vain” (Psalm 127:1). All other planning and plotting is futile.
I’ve never had to hide from an army, but I have had some low moments. I’m sure many of us can remember feeling confused and resentful at some point. In spite of our doubts and ruts—and the habitual trails that lead us to wickedness—
God can lift us up to victory with Him. Gideon didn’t just decide to grit his teeth and pitch his military plan to the leaders. God chose him, called him, and promised him victory to “strike Midian down as if it were one man” (Judges 6:16).
Whatever your circumstances may be today, don’t let them scare you. Don’t let the worn pathways of sin lure you into hopelessness. Don’t be deceived by the voices that tell you that your sin is too great, that your habits can never be broken. Our God can rescue and redeem even the most lost. He is light in the deepest night. Run to the One who controls the sea and the stars, and trust Him with your darkest secrets.
Fear not Declares the Lord:
Isaiah 65:21-24
They will build houses and dwell in them; they will plant vineyards and eat their fruit.
22
No longer will they build houses and others live in them, or plant and others eat. For as the days of a tree, so will be the days of my people; my chosen ones will long enjoy the work of their hands.
23
They will not labor in vain, nor will they bear children doomed to misfortune, for they will be a people blessed by the Lord, they and their descendants with them.
24
Before they call I will answer; while they are still speaking I will hear.
AMEN
Peace To You
