GOD'S SAY-SO

GOD'S SAY-SO



"He hath said . . . so that we may boldly say . . ." Hebrews 13:5-6

My say-so is to be built on God's say-so. God says - "I will never leave thee," then I can with good courage say - "The Lord is my helper, I will not fear - " I will not be haunted by apprehension. This does not mean that I will not be tempted to fear, but I will remember God's say-so. I will be full of courage, like a child "bucking himself up" to reach the standard his father wants. Faith in many a one falters when the apprehensions come, they forget the meaning of God's say-so, forget to take a deep breath spiritually. The only way to get the dread taken out of us is to listen to God's say-so.

What are you dreading? You are not a coward about it, you are going to face it, but there is a feeling of dread. When there is nothing and no one to help you, say - "But the Lord is my Helper, this second, in my present outlook." Are you learning to say things after listening to God, or are you saying things and trying to make God's word fit in? Get hold of the Father's say-so, and then say with good courage - "I will not fear." It does not matter what evil or wrong may be in the way, He has said - "I will never leave thee."

Frailty is another thing that gets in between God's say-so and ours. When we realize how feeble we are in facing difficulties, the difficulties become like giants, we become like grasshoppers, and God becomes a nonentity. Remember God's say-so - "I will in no wise fail you." Have we learned to sing after hearing God's key-note? Are we always possessed with the courage to say - "The Lord is my helper," or are we succumbing?

That is a good one to make me think this mornng. this part is my favorite---

I often forget to take a deep breath spiritually and just run off at the mouth, sometimes I realize it before it is to late and sometimes I don't. But you are right, He promised He will never leave us and He won't. That has been proven to me time and time again. I can sit back today and think of the distructive things I did in my using years and see clearly today how He was there with me, protecting me, catching me when I fell. It is awesome!!!

Thank you for sharing that.

From now on when I take a deep breath to relax and release tension, I will think of it differently. I will think of it as breathing in sprituality.

God Bless.
