Remember the word to Your servant,
\nIn which You have made me hope.
\nThis is my comfort in my affliction,
\nThat Your word has revived me.
\nPsalms 119:49-50<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

David is reminding God of a promise to make David’s line to have a continuation on the throne. \u00a0God does not need reminding, but\u00a0sometimes we need<\/strong> the reassurance that God had not forgotten\u00a0us.<\/em>\u00a0 Doubt and sin creeps in trying to steal our promise. \u00a0We have to be ever so diligent to not allow those thoughts. \u00a0God wants us to know joy and to remember the promises He continues to fulfill today.<\/p>\n

Abraham was promised a son.<\/p>\n

On that day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying,
\n\u201cTo your offspring I give this land, from the river of Egypt
\nto the great river, the river Euphrates,\u201d
\nGenesis 15:18<\/p>\n

Isaac who was not born to Abraham and his wife Sarah until they \u00a0were very old. God wanted to provide a miracle and show \u00a0Abraham that God could be trusted. God also told Abraham that his children would be in captivity and brought out after four hundred years of that bondage.<\/p>\n

“It was by faith that Moses’ parents hid him for three months when he was born.
\nThey saw that God had given them an unusual child,
\nand they were not afraid to disobey the king’s command.”
\nHebrews 11:23<\/p>\n

When Moses was born God had a plan that he would lead the people of Israel out of captivity to the promised land. Moses was raised in a life of luxury. But he also was reminded of his heritage and had to flee from Egypt because of his desire to protect his people. It was not his time to begin the deliverance. God had plans to grow Moses into a shepherd. He needed to become patient and humble.<\/p>\n

Ever feel like God puts you through a time of patience building? \u00a0I know I have had my share of those. \u00a0Because I am headstrong, rebellious, and stubborn. \u00a0I am sure God just shakes His head at me. I try it on my own. Then I realize I need to turn back to Him and let Him handle the heavy lifting. \u00a0I just have to be willing to follow His word.<\/p>\n

* \u00a0 ~ \u00a0 \u2665 \u00a0 ~ \u00a0 \u271e \u00a0 ~ \u00a0 \u2665 \u00a0 ~ \u00a0 * <\/span><\/p>\n

Father, help me follow Your direction. \u00a0Forgive me for doing my will and not seeking Yours. \u00a0Help me discern Your will for my life. \u00a0Give me the courage to follow what You lay on my heart. \u00a0I want to be a vessel You use to further Your kingdom here on earth. \u00a0Thank You for allowing me to call You Father<\/em>. \u00a0In Jesus’ name, amen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
