Psalms31 verse21 ‘Blessed be the LORD: for he hath shewed me his marvelous kindness in a strong city.’
You are welcome back to our discussion on experiencing his marvelous kindness. King David was a recipient of his marvelous kindness and he wants to do the same thing for you too. However you need to realize that you have a part to play in the entire process. Nothing just happens! Amo3v3. From experience, I have discovered that God is usually ready and willing but we are often not ready or prepared. So are you ready for an encounter with his marvelous kindness? If your answer is a definite yes, then let’s explore how you can position yourself for his marvelous kindness.
To experience his marvelous kindness:
1. You need to put your trust in Him. Your faith or confidence ought to be in God if you really want to experience his unusual kindness. Faith in God is what gives you and I access to his treasure house of uncommon mercies. So let your confidence be in God and not in people, things or yourself. Those who also put their confidence in him also wait on him. They don’t rush into things without his inputs and insights. This was what Elisha was doing during the time of famine in Samaria. (2Ki6v31-33). Because his trust was in God he refused to be moved and waited on him for directions. If you will not be moved in these seasons, you must learn to wait on God as you put your trust in God. I believe that as you do this, you will not be put to shame in Jesus name amen. Ps17v7
2. You need to be proactive. You must learn to take the initiative if you will experience his marvelous kindness. So make that move and stop being passive. Be sensitive to your environment and your spirit man. This is what the 4 lepers did in 2Kings chapter 7. They took steps in line with their convictions, beliefs and their hearts .You can’t just be idle or stationary and expect that things will be the same. I want you to know that if you don’t move, nothing will move. So stop procrastinating! Start taking action now! Do what you need to do so that God can do what you can’t do. Seize the moment! Follow your heart! As you do this, you will meet with his unimaginable favors and help. So what are you waiting for? Start making the move now! Jam2v26
I look forward to seeing you then in your land of manifestation of marvelous kindness.
