God Has the Final Say |
THE SCRIPTURE: |
“But none of these things move me; nor do I count my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my race with joy, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.” |
(Acts 20:24, NKJV) |
THE WORD: |
God is a faithful God! You may be praying for things
that haven’t happened yet, but just because things aren’t happening on
your timetable doesn’t mean they aren’t going to happen. Don’t give up
on that promise; God has the final say. Don’t let discouragement or
negative thoughts talk you out of it. Get your fire back! Get your
passion back. If God said it, He will do it. If God spoke it, He will
bring it to pass.
This is what the apostle Paul did in scripture. He
said, “None of these things move me.” What were “these things?”
Circumstances that looked impossible. Persecution. People trying to talk
him out of it. Negative, discouraging thoughts. His attitude was, “That
doesn’t change my mind. I’m not moved by what I see. I’m moved by what I
know, and I know if God be for me, who dare be against me? I know all
of God’s promises are yes and amen. I know God has the final say!”
