I'm so glad that God didn't call me to be original. He has called me to be faithful. I ran across this devotional out of "Streams in the Desert" by L.B. Cowman and feel compelled to share it with you. Enjoy!
"Commit your way to the LORD; trust in Him and He will do this." Psalm 37:5
The literal meaning of this verse is: "Roll your way onto Jehovah and trust upon Him, and He works." This brings to our attention the immediacy of God's action once we commit, or "roll," burdens of any kind from our hands into His. Whether our burden is sorrow, difficulty, physical need, or concern over the salvation of a loved one, "He works."
When does He work? "He works" now. We act as if God does not immediately accept our trust in Him and thereby delays accomplishing what we ask Him to do. We fail to understand that "He works" as we commit. "He works" now! Praise Him for the fact that this is true.
Our expectation that He will work is the very thing enabling the Holy Spirit to accomplish what we have "rolled" onto Him. At that point it is out of our grasp, and we are not to try to do it ourselves. "He works!" Take comfort from this and do not try to pick it up again. What a relief there is in knowing He really is at work on our difficulty!
And when someone says, "But I don't see any results," pay him no attention.
"He works" if you have "rolled" your burdens onto Him and are "looking unto Jesus" (Heb. 12:2) to do it. Your faith may be tested, but "He works." His Word is true!"
With That In Mind Please Pray:
Our church is hosting our 4th Annual Community Day Spring Fest. This event provides us an opportunity to minister in our community. Last year we fed over 600 people and witnessed several folks come to faith in Christ. Do I believe that God can do that and more this year? The answer is "HE WORKS!"
Have a wonderful weekend.
