God's Appropriation, God's Timing

God’s Will is perfect!!! We do not have to just read it, preach it, and teach it, but we also have to believe it. We see God as omnipotent, yet flawed. We get so frustrated when he delays in our request for this or that. God is a loving Father who did not have to adopt us in the first place or give up His only begotten Son. God does not fear nor will he be mocked. There are so many times we want to tempt His love, and He is so gracious that He gently corrects us after a while and allows us to grow to understand that His timing in appropriation is for our blessing. His timing ultimately is what is used to continue to build our faith and trust in Him. Our confidence in an unchanging and faithful God comes when we realize that even if our prayers are not answered and we stay in a storm way longer than we wish to, His love will never fade. Job put it this way, “Yet He slay me, still will I trust Him”. How many of us today have this attitude? All these things that we go through, the trials and tribulations which Jesus said, “You will go through”, the tests, and the allowed temptations from the enemy are all allowed to appropriate the wisdom of God’s word in order for us to grow and mature into Agape Love. Worry not about the time Dad takes to do His will, just be thankful that you are in it!!! Enjoy the process, that is what this life is all about!!! Have a wonderful life of appropriation on purpose!!!!!

Matthew 6

Do Not Worry

25"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? 26Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life[b]?
28"And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? 31So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' 32For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
