In His time


The last portion of Genesis. 

7 years of famine is over. Joseph could very well take the initiative to take the Israelites back to Canaan, the promised land. It was in Joseph's mind always, to go back to the promised land, as promised by God to his forefathers. Jacob had told him about this vision when he blessed. But he knew it was not the time. He was willing to wait. 
Now he is 110 years old. He knew that he was about to die. But he still clings on to the promise of God. Promise to his fathers. He is sure God in His time, He will take. He need not do anything. Ultimately Joseph dies in Egypt without being able to go to the promised land. 

I need not do. He will take in His time. I just have to trust in the Almighty's hands that will take care of me with the best plan for me. 
May be you are tired of waiting - In His time. 
May be you are in a hopeless situation - In His time. 
In faith are you waiting for an alliance, but God has been continuing to tell to wait - In His time. 
Are you on the process of decision making for years and there seems to be a lack of clarity. - In His time. 
People may get angry or frustrated because you are slow to take a decision -In His time
The pressure might be too heavy on you, pushing you from every side - In His time. 

Waiting peacefully, trusting in Him, without being bent out of shape, without being on pins and needles, just resting on His bosom and believing that in His time He will do it and He will bring it to pass. 

Eccl:3:11 He makes everything beautiful, in His time. 

In His time, In His time
He makes all things beautiful
In His time
Lord please show me everyday
As you're teaching me your way
That you do just what you say
In His time. - Dianne Ball

Amazed - Poem

Matt:8:9 Does your faith amaze Him or disappoint Him?  I have never ever seen faith like this - Will He tell this about you?  I have never ever seen love like this?  I have never ever seen joy like this?  How do you amaze Him?  The All Knowing; The Creator God was amazed What is it that amazes Him in you; dear one?  Your rebellion? Your inconsistency? Your disobedience?  How much should I put up with you, bard?  Time to eat solid food. Time to provide too Whilst you are still drinking; still being fed.  What amazes Him in you dear one?  Your faithlessness or your unfaithfulness?  Your lack of love to Him?  Your lack of indignation to things which He hates?  Lord, Your grace; it amazes me.  Rebellious as I was. Enemy as I was.  Sinner as I am. You still love me.  What is there that you are mindful of me?  That i would be even considered.  Even more. You made me your child.  Grateful as I am. Kn...

Whom do you listen to?

Matt:11:18-19 John didn't spend his time eating and drinking.  Whilst the Son of man feasts and drinks. Both were found fault by the society and labelled.  Whatever you do, there would be people to criticise you and point fingers at you. But as long as you are I'm the center of God's plan and you are sure that you are pleasing God, then you need not bother.  People even from your own fellowship, your own family may blame you for those decisions. Forget about the world who doesn't know your Master. But if you do, after putting in much prayer and take decisions in accordance with what God tells you to do, then why bother about what others have to say. As long as you are sure that it is from God you listen.  John was bold enough to ask the society to repent not bothering about what they told about him. So was Jesus. He kept on doing what He had come to do.  You are affected by what people say about you. Then you are some one who tries to perform before ...

Balanced equation

Everyone who acknowledges me publicly, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven. But everyone who denies me here on earth, I will also deny before my Father in heaven.  Matt:10:32-33 The equation is very simple. If you acknowledge that you follow Jesus publicly here on earth; He will also acknowledged you before the Father in Heaven. The devil might lodge a claim that you are his. But the moment the Son of God acknowledges you, His righteousness, the Father sees in you and you are justified.  But if you have denied Him in this earth. He will also deny you. Whether you accept it or not. This is the truth.  Rom:10:9 If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.  Image credit:  https://www.wikihow.com/Balance-Chemical-Equations

Rest

Matt:11:28 Come to me all of you who are weak and carry heavy burdens, I will give you rest.  Like John Bunyan's pilgrim, we too grope around with heavy baggages on our back. He has come to take away that heavy load and ease our souls. Jesus has come to give us rest.  If only we would unleash the cords and give it over to Him. He will release us. For He has come to give us freedom. If only we would let Him.  Such a bold and freedom ensuring statement only Jesus can make. For all the helpless. For all the tired and weak and weary. For all those who feel they are done with this life. Jesus promises unending rest.  Image credit:  https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Sleeping_lion.jpg

Unconventional route

When Jesus does miracles and blessings in our lives, we need Him. But when He does it in a different way, when He does it in a way in which it costs us, do we still need Him?  Matt:8:34. The entire town came out to meet Jesus, but begged Him to go away and leave them alone.  Because they suffered financial loss. There, sitting before them were two men who have just been delivered from a legion of evil spirits. The hand of God is quiet obvious. But financial loss is what they blame Him with.  If God asks you to take unconventional routes, do you become uncomfortable? Routes which cost you, your time, your finances, your privacy, your reputation and name? What is more important to you determines what you do. What other things you forsake.  We are no less than the Gaderenes who closed their eyes to the miracle in front of their eyes, yet clinging on to the loss they suffered. Silly and pitiful.  Image credit:  https://beunsettled.co/blog/what-does-...

Jesus is risen - a prose

So will the Son of Man be in the heart of the earth for three days and three nights.  Matt:12:40 History proven With ample evidence Adequate eyewitness All ready foresaid in the past.  By prophets who didn't even know Him personally His own audacious claim.  Testified by His own common men disciples Transformation of lives, even now Seen by people in reality.  In fact many at one point.  Documented in ancient literature.  Proven by adequate research.  Beyond doubt.  Does it make sense to you? Or does it not?  But Jesus' resurrection - is true in my life.  I choose to believe. Your choice is your will.  He lives now in heaven.  Seated on the right hand side of the throne.  He dwells in my heart.  More than a friend, He is.  More than a soulmate He is.  Image credit: https://stock.adobe.com/search?k=risen+jesus

Bask

How would you feel if after all the heavy input that you have given and the hard work you have done, the credit goes to someone else. It would be hurting and demeaning right? You deserved the appreciation, but all went to someone else who wasn't even in the picture.  Even worse, Jesus would have felt, when He cast out demons, they were attributing it to satan instead of God's Spirit. A created being instead of the Creator Himself. The sworn in archenemy of God. A worthless being in comparison to the Almighty. How disappointing?  God is not willing to share His glory with anyone else or anything else. Not because He is selfish or possessive. But because He alone is worthy. If it is given to any created being, even man, even yourself, it is disappointing. Glory belongs to God alone. Doing things for your own pride is like taking God's glory.  How often have we done things and basked in the glory and appreciation that we would receive. We would say 'glory to Go...
