Are you busy?
Read the verses above. Numbers 9
What is the practical application for you today?
Are you busy and stressed out? Do you know the reason? It is an indication of onething within you.
We are going to read few more scriptures.
Numbers 9:22-23. The Israelites did not move unless the cloud lifted.
If the cloud lifted they journey , if it stayed, they stayed days, months or years.
Think for a moment. We do things on our own accord. We start projects and pray to God to bless what we are doing.
We find partner and pray God to bless our marriage.
Is it the right way?
John 5:19, John 8:28, John 12:49
Jesus being the Son of God, says He won’t do anything or say anything unless His Father tell HIM.
If Jesus Himself depended and waited on GOD, how arrogant of us to make decisions on our own and then we have odacity to ask God to bless it.
Do you think God is your servant, that you demand Him.
You do not have to pray for blessing. Why?
What is the right way then?
If you tarry (wait) to know the will of God. And when you hear God say move and only then you make the move. Then since you acted on His Word, the thing that you do is already blessed. (for HIS Word is empowered with HIS blessings.)
If Jesus being Son of God did not do anything on His own accord, why should you? How could you?
The reason you do not wait for the LORD to tell you. The reason you rely on your own accord, is the source of all stress and busyness.
The one who relies on God is in HIS rest (sabbath, Hebrews 4).
Oh my soul rest in Him.
Proverbs 3:5 English Standard Version (ESV)
5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
and do not lean on your own understanding.
Oh I pray my Father, help me listen to YOU and do only that YOU want me to do. I know YOUR voice, for I am YOUR sheep. I know YOU. What a precious gift I have. I know YOU. My LORD my God. Jesus my beloved. Jesus I love you. You are GOD my savior.
