Holy Spirit, thank You for convicting me everyday of God's righteousness given to me as a gift.
Last night I was feeling lousy as I looked at my undesirable financial history. The way I handled money that resulted in my current financial situation. I was looking at the life I was brought up in - abused as a child, abused as a wife. So broken, helpless, hopeless.
Who am I to deserve the status I have today? People trusting in me with their issues and money. And miraculously, God helping them through me as I see each and everyone leaving the office feeling calm and smiling.
This morning, after a long weekend of full-day training, I was catching up with my reading of "Destined to Reign Devotional". I felt God heard me and was telling me to have no doubt of His choice and His blessings especially when I came to 29 Feb and 1 Mar.
Don't Give Up At Thirtyfold!
Mark 4:8
"But other seed fell on good ground and yielded a crop that sprang up, increased and produced: some thirtyfold, some sixty and some a hundred."
"If you have seen only a thrityfold increase in your situation, don't give up. The sixtyfold, then hundredfold increases are on their way to you!" Ah huh! Indeed I have seen the thirtyfold in my business for the past 2 months. Now, as it slows down a little and I was reminded of my past, I am at the verge of giving up. But no! The Lord knows and He reminded me. Thank you!
God Can Use Those Whom The World Rejects
1 Corinthians 1:26
"For you see your calling, brethren, that not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called."
"God chooses the weak, the small, the forgotten and the losers to confound those mighty in the world." I hear you Lord. I asked that God shows me His presence in ways I can understand and know He is by my side and He did.
Could I still chance upon these two verses when I read the book some other time? Oh yes, definitely. It's in print! But could I have read it timely to sooth my heart and mind? No if without God's intervention. I was supposed to have 2 straight appointments in the morning. They were both rescheduled soI had the time to sit down and catch up with my reading that I have placed aside for 4 days straight.
Thank you Jesus!
