The Way God Works :)

Last night as I was about to go to bed, I was very tired.  I had just gotten done with prayer and as I prayed, I realized that my wife was still up.  It was late and I didn't want to have to tell her to come to bed.  Instead I prayed that God would help her come to bed, and He did!  No sooner did I say Amen and get into bed then the door to the bedroom came open and my wife came to bed.  Why am I saying this?  Because it only when we give up on our own resources that God can truly Work!  He does time and again.  There is as text that comes to mind as I type this:   
"2 I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron:"
-Isaiah 45:2

Jesus goes in front of us!  This is a principle that plays itself out again and again.  He goes before us to the promised land.  If you are feeling discouraged this morning, I want you to know that Jesus goes before you.  Are you concerned about a job lost?  Jesus goes before you!  Are you wondering how you are going to live the Christian life today?  Jesus goes before you!  Don't be discouraged!  Jesus goes before us!  He is in charge of our life and planning out our days!  Give Him Your Heart this morning, and He will go before you!  He will lead the way each and everyday if you will ask Him.  Follow Him!  He will lead the way!  

Today I want to see Him work!  I want to watch Him do what I never could or will be able to do.  I want to see the Master work and use me in His service.  There is a song that is playing that says "Come and follow Me!" Each and everyday Jesus will lead the way!  Today as you go through your day, remember that He is leading.  

For those who are interested here is a link to a sermons on getting to know Jesus:

My prayer for you is that you will be blessed by these sermons.  I really enjoy them.


He goes before us!   In closing, remember this story:  The children of Israel had been led to the red sea.  There was no where to go but into the sea.  This looked like a difficult place to be in.  There was no where they could go with the Egyptian army behind them.  Are you in one of those positions today?  Are you confused on where you should go?   Know that He goes before you.


" And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever.*n1  14 The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.  15 ¶And the LORD said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward: 16 But lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thine hand over the sea, and divide it: and the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea.  "
-Exodus 14:13-16
