Jes:Us

In any relationship, tough decisions need to be made sometimes, luckily for us, we do not have to be the one to make the tough decision. God in the relationship helps us to make the tough decisions. God is the one who battles in this relationship. God is the one who will fight on behalf of this relationship. 

As we learned on Monday that God will speak as it says in job 33:14 just that, For God speaks in one way, and in two, though man does not perceive it. So, we know that God speaks, and we are to listen, and that both of that requires action. The action we are to do is just shut up and listen, to quiet our minds and listen, to empty our minds and listen, however, you want to think of it, it is just that action then listen for God.

But I don't hear God, I do see Him battle, Tough decisions are not being taken care of. As I have said no response may be a response sometimes God doesn't respond to us and that is His answer. The next two things are more important than that. 

The first is you have to have faith in those times when you don't see God Fighting, the battle, taking care of things. Do you remember our series on Matthew 6:33, But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. If you hold to that promise God will take care of things. That promise is we need to have faith in times we do not see God in our lives. Faith isn't what we can see but what we cannot see. I could on and on in that area but will move on to the second one.

The second one is to have patience everything God does is in His timing, not ours and I know that be frustrating sometimes. I will tell you right now I am just like you, not perfect, and have fallen short of God's glory like the verse says in Romans 3:23, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. We need to sometimes wait for God to respond. It's hard to do I know. We are a now generation, but God is sometimes on what I like to call Uganda timing. This means there is no hurry or stress to do it right now. The thinking, it's ok if you are late just call and it will be ok. Show up late It's ok. An example of this is you can be late for church and there be only one minute but if you leave in that one minute you are there you are considered a sinner. so in Uganda, they see time differently just like God does. We all want it now but that is not always the best thing for us. For there is a time and a way for everything, although man's trouble lies heavy on him. Ecclesiastes 8:6. 

I will continue on this tomorrow.
