Sunday Smash (On His Terms) S3E31

State Of Mind With Jb

We can do not control our lives but God is the only one in control. As the book of Proverbs chapter 19 verse 21 says that, " You can make many plans, but the Lord's purpose will prevail." Life is not all about you! I am talking about your faith. Remember that God does not work for you but you are serving God. So even if you pray every day that does not give God instructions concerning what He ought to do for you and others. Many people walk around sulking about God, apparently he did not help them when He was supposed to. Well, that happens because many of us have the idea in our heads that the Lord really owes us something. We serve Him, and therefore He has to do something for us in return. Listen, the only reason why we serve God is because He is God. He is mercifully redeemed us when we were lost. He loved us while we were still His enemies. He made us His own while we were so far away from Him. That's why we serve Him. It's all about Him. We serve Him on His terms. As the book of Hebrews chapter 12 verse 1 says, "Let us run with endurance the race God has set before us." God is not in our service; He does not work for us. We do not determine the conditions of the relationship. We should get to know God and serve Him as He reveals Himself to us in the Bible. The Lord is our oxygen, our breath, our entire lives. The Lord is with us in every storm. He walks with us through every dark valley and every straight road. He remains at our side until well past the finishing post.
