Looking back you kiss your past goodbye leaving it behind where it should be. Putting the past to rest so that you can be free. You are not R Kelly you cannot turn back the hands of time, unfortunately. So now that you’ve released yourself from the chains and shackles, where do we go from here?
When life takes on twists and turns you can find yourself asking, like Margaret in the book, where is God in this situation? It’s also funny how in such times we sometimes feel we need to remind God of who we are, like it might just somehow slip His mind. Speaking from personal experience, it can almost seem like you’re standing at the back of the queue whilst God pours out His blessings and you’re jumping up and down like a ping pong ball, waving your hands in the air, trying to get His attention.
We’ve mourned, cried our tears, there are no more set backs and no more excuses. Your complaining does not make a change it just wastes time. Your fear has only one purpose, to get in the way. Romans 8 28And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. Every trial and tribulation will end in triumph, and every storm has a blessing, so now that the storm is over, now that we have grown stronger and closer to God no more time can be wasted. Every trial and tribulation will end in triumph, and every storm has a blessing, so now that the storm is over, now that we have grown stronger and closer to God no more time can be wasted.
Time is precious and our time is short don’t let JME tell you again…YOU’RE NOT SERIOUS! Ecclesiastes 3 (NIV) 1There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven. It’s time to get serious. It’s frustrating to see people playing with their lives and their destiny, there is so much that God has put in them if only they knew, if only they were serious. Both my feet are in, are you still sitting on the fence? God has a plan for YOU just make yourself available and be obedient. Just like Queen Esther, who knows if perhaps you were called for a time such as this? There are so many people out there who need to hear the good news Romans 10 (NIV) 14How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? 15And how can they preach unless they are sent? As it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!"
Try to look at the big picture our lives are but a breath; James 4 (NIV) 14Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. Life is precious so value it, only a fool idles away time. You have no excuse you’ve seen the advertisements; trainers £60, mobile £90, life…priceless, TIME PRECIOUS!
