Scripture

Luke 1:20
And now, since you didn’t believe what I said, you won’t be able to speak until the child is born. For my words will certainly come true at the proper time.

This scripture, made me think of how I was serving for God’s kingdom. Each week of having fear or insecure of what lies ahead with work, uni and Life*TV. Fear of time, fear of what resources I have, fear of whether life*TV will be up on Sunday & the fear of being alone. There are always questions or discouragements that I face – of why I am doing this? Let someone else do it? But being the person that I am, I try to hide it all back within myself without facing the real problem.

Luke 1:37
For nothing is impossible for God.

And as reading I find that, there is a something much bigger then fear! Something so strong that overcomes the meaning of the word fear. As there is a God who we believe in that states that nothing is impossible of his glory. Knowing that fact, stirs a bigger picture in my heart and what he has planned for me through uni, through work & through Life*TV where there is nothing to fear.

Luke 1: 74-75
We have been rescued from our enemies so we can serve God without fear, in holiness and righteousness forever.



Isaiah 1:19 – 20
If you will only obey me and let me help you, then you will have plenty to eat. But if you keep turning away and refusing to listen, you will be destroyed by your enemies.
I, the Lord have spoken.

This passage spoke to me of my relationship with God. Of how and when I get fed through weekly - Tuesday LDP, Sunday sermons & even devotions. I feel that God is trying to use me and obey every command he gives me. I guess when your caught up with work, activities, uni, etc you don’t want to obey anyone and feel frustrated in yourself. So for me, I feel that I need to open my life, my mind, my heart & my life more to my God, so that he can use me fully in his kingdom.


Isaiah 2:19
When the LORD rises to shake the earth, his enemies will crawl with fear into holes in the ground. They will hide in caves in the rocks from the terror of the Lord and the glory of his majesty.

To know a God that shows mercy but also power. It makes me feel that God is not just nice & that relates of how I want to represent my life. I don’t want to just be known as a nice Christian that does nice things for people but to see that there is something there inside me more powerful then anything else.

Pray

Father lord, I seek you tonight lord to help me open more to you. As I follow this new beginning of this week I pray that you will be with me, giving me strength & living a powerful life without fear. Let me not hold back or turn away but to run to face what you have installed for me. Let this week be a opportunity of your work in me & to seek the bigger picture that nothing is impossible in your kingdom. I also pray for these glorious friends that you have placed around me Lord, may you bless each of them as we continue to seek your kingdom come true. Amen
