Don’t give up…

Inspired from Exodus 2:3-25.  We all sometimes feel frustrated by how little we can do about the evil we see going on around us.   Kids being hurt by adults, families broken by murders, lies ruining relationships, injustice on our jobs, and unfair treatment because of the color of your skin or your religious preference.  What can we do to act against these things? Sometimes it is an activist for the rights of children or minority groups, sometimes it is a tough choice we might have to make to end a relationship, always it is to pray!  No matter what we do, big or small, we must do our part then trust God to use our effort to fight against evil.

God does not need much from us to accomplish his plan for our lives. If we focus too much on how impossible it may seem to us to get out of our mess, we will find ourselves in a mess for a long time!  However, we should concentrate on God, and His power to help us see the way out. Right now you may be unable to see through your troubles…focus instead on God and trust Him for the way out.  This is all He needs to begin his work in you and for you!

Don’t worry about the wrong others have done and why it feels like their getting away with it.  Sooner or later, doing wrong will catch up to them.  Even if they are not caught in this life, they will still have to face God and give an account for their actions.

We may feel abandoned or isolated because of something we have done.  Though we feel afraid and separated, we should not give up!  Moses did not give up when he trusted God to deliver the Hebrews from Pharaoh, and we cannot either.  NO MATTER HOW DARK OUR PAST OR BLEAK OUR FUTURE…TRUST GOD TO DELIVER YOU!

God’s rescue does not always come when we want it.  God knows the best time to act.  When you feel that God has forgotten you in your troubles, remember that God has a time schedule we cannot see.  Only trust God and not what we hear, see or feel.

Lord, help us to trust Your plan for our lives.  Your Word says, in Jeremiah 29:11,  that You have a good plan for us that won’t harm us, but will prosper us. Your plan will give us hope and a future.  Help us to do our part of Your plan and then help us to trust You to do Your part.  You know the way out O Lord; help us follow You each day.  No matter what things seem like, help us to remember Romans 8:28; for all things work together for good to them that love God and are called according to His purpose.  We have read in Your Word Lord, where many Christians fell short of Your plan.  Moses, for example, killed an Egyptian guard for oppressing, the Hebrews. You did not condone his actions, but You were able to be glorified in his life despite his actions.  Be glorified in our lives Lord, despite our past failures.  We thank You in advance for your mercy and help.  We thank You for hearing our prayers.  So we thank You for our deliverance and restoration.  In Jesus name, we pray.  Amen.
