Topic: God is not slack concerning his promises
We have access to the greatest treasure. The greatest treasure map is hiding in plain sight in the bible. Why are we playing the lottery hoping to win by chance and we have guaranteed pay out in Jesus! We are called to prosper and be in health (3 John 1:2).
God is not slack concerning his promises (2 Peter 3:9)!
If we believed God's word, oh what the peace we would have. We would have the peace of God that surpasses all understanding (Phi 4:7). Do you think God ever worries? Do you think God becomes anxious? We are to have God's Peace! Have you ever put together a chair you purchased from the store or any other item? In the box there are parts, directions, and possibly a tool. Do we open the box and murmur and complain that we don't have a chair or do we use the guide and put together the chair. Most of us are looking at the box of our lives, with all the parts spread out, and are not applying the instructions (God's word). We are not using the tool (Holy Spirit) to put our lives together and rest peaceably.
There is no lack in God, there is only lack in us. The enemy has tricked us into believing we can get it together ourselves, by convincing us we don't need to read the instructions and we don't need the tools.
Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the thoughts that I plans toward you, saith the Lord, plans of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
Peace comes From the Hebrew word shalom. Which means to be well, happy, to have prosperity, favour, great health. To have a mental calm and serenity.
If God's plan is for us to have peace and without God other side of that sentence is evil.
Evil comes from the Hebrew word ra from which means adversity, affliction, bad, calamity, displeasure, distress, exceedingly great grief, harm, heavy, hurt, ill-favoured, mischievous, sorrow, & wicked.
Why would we want to be outside of God? If we are experiencing anything other than peace we are outside of God's plan for our lives.
The end of the scripture tells us why he has a plan for peace.
**Before you read the rest take a deep breath. Receive why God has a plan for peace.**
"to give you an expected end"
To give means to add. An expected means should have an expectation, hope or longing.
End is from the Hebrew word ahariyt means prosperity or reward.
Which means God has a plan of peace for us to add prosperity and reward to us, of which we should have a longing and an expectation. This is a guaranteed pay-out. There are no gimmicks.
Are we expecting peace? Are we longing for peace or do we wake up every morning expecting grief, distress, or displeasure.
God wants us to have his peace so he can prosper us and reward us. Why do we want anything else?
God is not slack concerning his promises (2 Peter 3:9)!
Matthew 11:28
Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy- laden and overburdened, and I will cause you to rest. [I will ease and relieve and refresh your souls.]
These are God's promises. This is a guaranteed pay-out!
God is not slack concerning his promises (2 Peter 3:9)!
Isaiah 40:31
but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength;
they shall mount up with wings like eagles;
they shall run and not be weary;
they shall walk and not faint.
Mount up means to ascend, to exalt, to excel, to grow , to rise, to spring forth. Are we mounted? Are we soaring and excelling in everything we are doing?
Run means to quickly breakdown & divide. Never having both feet on the ground at the same time. When we juggling multiple tasks and our schedules are full, God said in him we will not grow weary.
Walk means to carry or bear. When we are carrying the issues, and demands from life, God said in him we will not faint.
Are we mounted up today? Are we running with full strength without weariness. We are carrying all the cares of this world with a upright back? Are we operating in God's peace? Are we prosperous?
In God's peace we won't have a care or worry. Let's receive the greatest treasure ever given. Let's read God's treasure map, and follow the path that leads to God's peace. Let's mount up, soar, and excel in all we do. Let's run and not grow weary. Let's walk and not faint.
Pray:
Almighty God, exalted on high. How majestic your name is in all the earth. You have displayed your splendor above the heavens. I repent for believing I could do this without you. I repent for not trusting you with my life. I receive your plans of peace to an expected end for my life. Open your word to me, that I might understand and apply it to my life. Fill me with your Holy Spirit that I may never grow weary or faint. In Jesus Name I pray. Amen.
God Bless you! Have a blessed weekend!
