Week of 6/9/2017 entry from Bible Promises for You Men’s Group: Christ’s Return
Scripture: Luke 12:40
Jesus said, "You also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.”
Thought: This is a story of responsibility. we have to be prepared because we know and have sought God's will for us as his children. Luke 12:48 further add: …Jesus says “From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked.”
Application: Be aware of the blessings in your life and understand that they come with a responsibility in both worldly and kingdom “realms.”
Response: Lord, thank you for what you have provided to me in my life. thank you for coming to me so clearly on 1/29/2016 and taking my burdens from me.
Looking back Today (2025): It is great to look back and see an answered prayer and understand that blessing happen. In a difficult time, I asked for an personal burden to be lifted to save me from a lot of anger… and it happened immediately. I tested the Lord after asking for his help, and instead of being angry with me for testing him, he turned my brain to mush and sent me back to sleep. In days that followed, I clearly trusted Him and this GOD MOMENT likely placed me on a path of self awareness and desire to do better, to be a better man I am clearly not perfect, but I will persevere.

I found that it is important to trust God’s timing of everything. Even though something may not be ideal to us, it is in God’s timing. He wants what is best for us so there is a plan that we don’t know, so always remember that it is his plan in the works.
ReplyDeleteAgreed... you have to look back sometimes to see the prayers that were answered
