Living in Confidence With God

For some days, i was in a tensed state of mind as i had to approach a strange situation in few days of time that is totally new to me. I had to face a new working firm in a foreign land that was encased with customs and formalities.

The mere thought of it roared in my head as a huge wave as how to approach them and convey the requirements. I prayed to God but my mind was with my thoughts hence the submission was less. The whole thing created a confused state around me which made me deaf,dump, blind and forgetful. This is the human world in us.' I' can only do this much.

The d-day arrived and i was completely blank and helpless, the ultimate limit of HUMANS, who alone, can never go further.

I sat idle closing my eyes, my thoughts started fading away, a vast ocean filled my eyes with a cool breeze whistling over it. I sensed that something is filling my thoughts- an unexplained peace- the wind hummed to me- THIS IS MY LOVE .This is how God wants to help us. Not when the 'I' is raging over but when the 'I' is humbly given to God. The Spirit of God showed me the words from OUR ALMIGHTY .

6 “Alas, Sovereign Lord,” I said, “I do not know how to speak; I am too young.”

7 But the Lord said to me, “Do not say, ‘I am too young.’ You must go to everyone I send you to and say whatever I command you. 8 Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you and will rescue you,” declares the Lord.

9 Then the Lord reached out his hand and touched my mouth and said to me, “I have put my words in your mouth. 10 See, today I appoint you over nations and kingdoms to uproot and tear down, to destroy and overthrow, to build and to plant.”    - JEREMIAH 1:6-9

This is the confidence that God can assure us. It is not like the limits of humans but beyond what human can ever expect. For the living word of God says;

"8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord.

9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts." - ISAIAH 58:8-9

yes! the Lords ways are marvelous, the confidence that God gives us is through our perfect helpless submission of our ways to His wish. We can experience this together.

We all can come into similar situations like this quiet frequently in life. Whenever we get exposed so, firstly realise that, "I" cannot do this alone there is a Saviour for us who bears us always through His love, let us hold tightly to Him and hear His voice. The PEACE of HIS LOVE will guide us.

Prayer

Almighty Living Father, help us to learn your ways, train us to release all our humanly ways  unto your hand so that we are guided in your peace.Amen.
