Soo I finally started my journey into the book of John, the disciple who became a son to Mary once Jesus gave His life at the cross. I notice he write very plainly but with passion, demonstrating Jesus compassion and the truth about Him very clearly. I've just paused at the conversation in Ch. 3 with Nicodemus.
Jesus as usual talking plainly, and Nicodemus like most of us existing in "clueless land". And I pray that God will not just bless me with revelations but also understanding and wisdom too. What use is a good word if it is not understood??...
I'll focus on John 3:14-16, which took me back to Numbers 21:4-9. I realize, just like the Israelites I do grumble or get frustrated at times when I dont have my way. My past life was going in circles, though I'm grateful it does not compare to their 40 yrs of circling. Moses gave all who looked at the snake life...whereas Jesus gave us eternal life at the cross. This repetitiveness shows me the consistency of God. The way He operates is nothing new and He is always faithful in His ways.
Heavenly Father, I thank You for Your faithfulnes and patience with me. I thank You that even when I do not act my best, You still love me. I promise to receive Your instructions, to wait patiently for You, and to not doubt Your Grace being in operation whatever the situation. I recognize that You are always working even when I do not see the fruits of the goodwork in me made manifest as quickly as I would have it. Help me Holy Spirit keep this promise as best as I can. In Jesus Name. Amen
I believe in my heart that every setback Lord is an opportunity to learn, to grow, and to praise You. I believe all You're asking me to do is simple = trust You...
