"His
divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness
through our knowledge of Him who called us by his own glory and
goodness. Through these he has given us his very great and precious
promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature
and escape the corruption in the world caused by evil desires."
I
recently feasted on 2 Peter 1:3 - 4. Now, whenever I find myself slipping
and getting frustrated about not having this or that for which I have
been believing, I can almost hear an Angel asking me,
"What do you think the
Lord Jesus would say directly to you
on this matter if you could
have a face-to-face conference with Him?"
wwWHOAaaaa!!!
That's my
wake up call!!! Reality sets in, and my mind starts to race through all
of the confirmation scriptures that I know that I know that ...
...I KNOW!!!
Get the
point? By the time I am done with that, I have nearly forgotten what I
was revving up to complain about! Amazing. It's like a
mind-washing -- washing away the frustration, the doubt, the wondering and the
anxiety. All that's left to do is PRAISE!!! (Thank you, Angels, for
such a strategic question!!)
In this
manner, I am continually reminding myself to PRAISE rather than:
BLAZE my hope upon which my faith is founded
CRAZE my mind pondering the situations I am swimming in
DAZE my eyes, mesmerized by situations not aligned with my faith
FAZE myself as I wonder what could God be waiting
for?!
GAZE into the scriptures wondering what I have
seriously missed!
HAZE my vision so I cannot clearly distinguish
the Truth from the lie
LAZE around and forfeit my faith, rather than
digging in deeper!
MAZE and stupefy myself on "ok, what do to now?"
RAZE the preliminary fruits of my faith
Get the
point?
