Day 223 No Way!!-----Yes Way!!!!

Matthew 19:26  NIV

Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

When we look at a circumstance and say, “There is NO WAY,” God looks at that same circumstance and says, “YES WAY!”

We know that Jesus is THE WAY and He made A WAY for us by dying on the cross.  He came to destroy the works of the enemy.  So why do we look around and see all these “works” still going on??

It’s because God wants us to get on board with Him.  He says, “yes” and He wants us to agree with Him by saying the “amen.”

2 Corinthians 1:20   (NIV1984)

20 For no matter how many promises God has made, they are “Yes” in Christ. And so through him the “Amen” is spoken by us to the glory of God.

I think the problem lies in the fact that we don’t know what His promises are and then it’s difficult to say, “amen.”  We see more of the devil’s work going on and we might even catch ourselves saying,  “This must be the way God wants it.”

Again, I encourage you as God has encouraged me:  Go back to the Word of God.  The Bible is our plumb line.  Our lives are meant to be measured by God’s Word.

As you are reading the Word, if you come across something you don’t understand, ask God a question and write that question down in your journal.  Tomorrow when you wake up, if you don’t already have an answer, ask Him again.

(By the way, let me know when the answer comes!)

Begin to formulate a list of things that you know God has promised.  If you need help, you can go to:http://www.scripturepromises.com/

If the promise seems too good to be true, then write the reference down in your journal and beside it write:  “Did you really mean it, God?”

(I want some feedback on that, too!!!)

God is like a father who promises his child something….He wants his child to believe it and be happy about it—not to look around and forumulate doubt in his heart.

EnJOY your time with God today!
