“No more deception!”

READ: Hos 10-12; Ps 73; Heb 4

Topic: Truth vs. lies

SCRIPTURE:
Hos 12:6b “Wait for God, and don’t give up on Him – ever!

OBSERVATION:
Many times as I am tired and in that I experience that it seems harder to connect with God. I know He’s not far away or even distant, it’s just that my emotions and soul are tired and I need rest. But why do I immediately relate that to my relationship with God. “Is there something wrong with me or is there something I need to pay attention to? Or did I do something wrong?” are the immediate questions that circle my mind. How narrow minded or even foolish. I cannot relate my present state to my relationship with an Almighty, Omnipotent Father – who cares for me and holds our relationship in the palms of His hands! He cares deeply for me! I need not worry, but rather trust in Him – wait for Him! In a state of rest – He’ll come to me! He always does!

APPLICATION:
Trust, wait and believe that He is!

PRAYER:
“Heavenly Father, thank You for teaching me a valuable truth today. Forgive me for not trusting – and for not waiting on You Lord. I pray Lord that You would take this truth You’ve shown me and help me to remember and understand it in these times. Instead of running away – wondering what’s wrong with me – I want to run to You! I love You Lord! In the Name of Jesus Christ, Amen.”
