The Plan of the Enemy

I can't help but wonder....

When God spoke to Job, you know that the devil had to be taking notes. God asked Job many questions that started with, "do you know...?" Well, I think that on this day that God spoke to Job that the enemy was there taking notes and thinking, "If only these humans can have the knowledge and understand these things, then they will not need God..."

So, I think it was on that day that the enemy decided that people needed to become smarter than God. Of course, this isn't possible, but how deceived the world is these days. In the world today, God has become a boring entity.

How do we get others to see that our God lives and that He still heals and delivers? I think we've got to be ready to let go of our selves and we have to allow God to have our hurts and pains. We have to start seeing ourselves as a changed people...as aliens who do not belong in this world. We do not have the cares and worries. We have complete faith in Him who says, "Never will I leave you, never will I forsake you." We also have to believe in our hearts that because we serve Him and because we are called by His name, that He WILL supply all of our needs according to His riches in glory.

So yes, I am preaching to myself, but I need it. I desparately hunger for God and long to be filled with Him. I'm tired of wondering what I could do differently. I want to leave my empty hopes behind and I long for the prize that He has set before me. Use me, Lord...I'm all yours.

Take out what you want
Refine the things that stay
Have Your own way
Have Your own way
