I was so touched by today's reading.
Many of us are sitting by our personal pools of DESPAIR,
W A I T I N G
for the moving of water.
In the midst of brokenness, I want you to know that I'm thinking and praying for you today. Your heartbreak is felt by God.
However...God has a SPECIAL word for you today.
Please read John chapter 5:1-24 and then return and read today's Devotional. You can click on the date above for a quick reference...
This man in scripture was Sitting for 38 years lame and WAITING for the moving of water.
Many of us are sitting bound by circumstances. We feel blind, lame and paralyzed. We are STUCK in one place for a long time and PARALYZED from the situations in life.
WE WAIT for something.
There are those who go to church WAITING for a great emotion to engulf them so they can be sure they're in Gods presence.
There are those who are waiting and have eyes on the business for something to happen and they cannot make it happen quick enough.
There are those who are WAITING for something that has happened to an individual they know to happen to them also.
There are those who have not truly given their lives to Christ and yet WAITING for a great movement of God.
To many of us are not making any PROGRESS in life because we are
WAITING WAITING WAITING
we need to MOVE out in FAITH and TRUST only on the one who has called us and has the "plan" for our lives.
What are you WAITING for?
Who are you WAITING for?
Remember...WAITING around will not solve this mans issues, He as been WAITING 38 years!
Do you really want to get out of poverty?
Do you really want to see the BIGGER and BETTER things in life?
Jesus is asking today because He knows that many of us have not fully considered these questions in light of our "GOD" potential.
Jesus is wondering why you are waiting in despair for Him to solve the problems when He already solved it 2,000 years ago.
He went to the CROSS to give you SOLID GROUND living in life!
Lets decide today to stop sitting by our pool of DESPAIR.
A question I had to ask myself was... DO I WANT TO BE MADE WHOLE?
I desired to begin to live my potential and not below, waiting for others to bail me out.
RISE AND TAKE UP YOUR BED,(situation) AND WALK!
John 5:8 "Jesus said to him, "Rise take up your bed and walk."
Remember, God will send the Angel down into your situation so start walking and be ready to RECEIVE!
The Angel is stirring your waters friend....look at verse John 5:4
BE BLESSED TODAY
