Weather Report From Heaven: Sunny and bright, with an abundance of light and lots of singing and rejoicing.
Scripture- “Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.” – Hebrews 11:1
Thought of the Day- Are you confused about anything right now? I sure am! It is a very confusing time in the world, with so much information and mis-information being thrown at us everyday. If we don’t have a firm foundation in God and in the teachings of the Bible, it is easy to get tossed around like a battered dingy in the middle of a raging Ocean.I believe that God sometimes uses confusing circumstances to remove any of our ability to rely on ourselves and instead to rely totally on Him. Maybe, in fact, confusion is sometimes part of His plan to get us where He needs us to go. Maybe we would never choose to go if we saw the path first.
Think about all the stories in the Bible that had the people confused, which led to total surrender and absolute trust, which led to God achieving great things through them. From Abraham being asked to set out on a journey to a foreign land he didn’t know, to Moses being chosen to lead the Israelites in spite of his perceived lack of communication skills, to Gideon being chosen to save Israel from the hand of the Midianites. In fact, Gideon’s response in Judges 6:15 to God telling him he was the one to save Israel from the Midianite Army pretty much sums up this point perfectly when he replied “Pardon me, my lord,” Gideon replied, “but how can I save Israel? My clan is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my family.” Gideon was utterly confused, but for God’s purposes that was a very good thing. How about in our life? Are you confused about certain things that are going on in our world currently? Maybe this is a good thing. Maybe in fact it is a great thing, because it could be God is preparing you through confusion to fully surrendering your life to Him. Maybe He is about to take you on the faith based ride of your lifetime. Hang on and enjoy the ride. Confusion seems to lead to the wildest rides in God’s Kingdom.
