Say WORD: When the Nations Tremble

I try to be deep in my “Say WORD” and “Thought of the Day” segments. Whenever I write, I always look for ways to make reading a bit more involved. This morning, though, I’ve got nothing. After last night’s prayer meeting, a passage was set in my heart. When it comes to the Lord, one doesn’t have to dress up his word and make it any more than it already is. Yes, the Lord deserves the best of our abilities, but we shouldn’t limit ourselves to what we are comfortable with. People do their things in different ways, but God does it better–the best way, in fact.

So, consider this a simple word of encouragement from the Lord. This is in my “About Me,” as well.

Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said,
“Never will I leave you;
never will I forsake you.”

So we say with confidence,

“The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid.
What can man do to me?”

– Hebrews 13:5-6 (NIV)

A lot of stuff is going on in the world, especially during this time. Families are drowning in debt. People are suffocating in financial worry. Pockets are being sown shorter. For those who are suffering–I’m not just talking about financial, but in every other way–it is so hard to get past what you see. Kids are going hungry. Arguments get bigger. Futures are taken away. But, even through it all, God is still God.

That is a great assurance we have as his children. If we truly believe God’s very own word, then we ought to live it. Our faith is an action word, not just a moral belief that we live passively. God does provide–financially, physically, and in every other way. Jobs, spouses, friendships–nothing is beyond his scope. Because God can, we ought to live like He can, not just say it and passively watch. The faith begins in you.
