GOD WILL NOT DISAPPOINT US
Today’s Text: But I will hope continually, and will yet praise thee more and more.(Psalm 71:14)Today’s Thoughts: When we place our hope in God’s intervention He will not disappoint us. We will finally be praising Him. The context of this text is referring to problems with the psalmist’s enemies, but it is the same for any problem we may face. If you ever feel that God has disappointed your hope, know that He has done what was truly best. He cares about you. We need to praise Him no matter what the end result of our problem may be. God is good –always good and only good!
Today’s Testimony: A few months after I presented my revival seminar, my twin sister and I went to book for our learner’s licenses. I’d always thought that I would only go to book once I had been through the entire learner’s book at least once. When we went to book I hadn’t gotten too far into going through the book. We booked on a Thursday, and we could choose a date any time from Friday the following week. Without thinking we chose the Tuesday after that. That meant that we were writing our learner’s test just over a week after we’d booked. I only really thought about it when we came out from booking and my step-dad asked what date we got. He said, “You’ll have to study very hard.” Only then I realized that I had not been thinking clearly while choosing the date to write.
The date couldn’t be changed, so there was only one thing to do – I prayed. I studied too, but there is power in prayer. I placed my Hope in the Lord’s intervention.
During that week between booking and writing something happened that I’ll share in detail tomorrow that made me decide that I was going to, if possible, give the rest of the money that I received the following month, after paying my tithe and offering, to Praise Corner and start getting out of debt at all costs.
Firstly, if I didn’t pass my learner’s test I didn’t have the money at that stage to rebook. And secondly, if I had to rebook I wouldn’t be able to give money to Praise Corner the next month. I needed a miracle, and I prayed for one.
My test turned out to be so easy. Some of the tests that the other candidates got were really difficult, but I passed mine. God is so good!!!
I had asked the Lord to intervene and placed my hope in Him, and He did not disappoint me. I praise Him for His intervention. God cares about us so much.
Today’s Task: Have you got any problems in your life? If not, you are one in a very few. We all have things that are bothering us. Take your problems to the Lord. Place your hope in Him. He will not disappoint you. He loves You. Trust Him. And then when He intervenes – don’t forget to thank and praise Him.
Today’s Thanks: Lord I thank You that You care about our every need and problem. I thank You that if we place our hope in You, You will intervene. Lord I praise You for Your intervention in the past, and I praise You in advance for Your intervention in the future. Help us to trust You. Help us to praise You. Help us to remember that You know all things and do what is best for us in every situation. I thank You for Your great love. Amen.
