1Samuel 2:30 "..I will give honour to those by whom I am honoured.."
|
Honour Me says the Lord and I will honour you.
|
Trust Me about this matter that I have your best interests at hand, I want the best for you, I want to bless you, I want to show my power to you through your weakness of wanting to worry.
|
|
Isaiah 43:19 Watch for the new thing I am going to do. It is happening already---you can see it now! I will make a road through the wilderness and give you streams of water there.
|
Trust in Me and I will go beyond what you hope for, I will flatten the hills and mountains that get in the way and make you want to worry.
|
|
I will honour if you honour Me, I will protect your heart and your mind from harm when the time comes for you to face that challenge you have tempted to worry about.
|
I will work things out for others in your worry circumstance and protect them to as you trust in Me.
|
|
Prove Me now says the Lord:
|
Malachi 3:10 " …Put me to the test by doing so, says the Lord of Hosts, and see if I do not make the windows of heaven open and send down such a blessing on you that there is no room for it"
|
|
God says come on now then test Me and Prove Me see if I can be trusted! Go on give Me a chance, let me have a go at showing to you how good I am to those to who put their hope and trust in Me even though there seems to be no way out! Go on let Me have a go at showing My power to you, and see how great things I will do for you if you will only allow Me to take over, and fix your mind on me instead of those waves.

Matthew 14:29 "Come!" answered Jesus. So Peter got out of the boat and started walking on the water to Jesus.
|
Matthew 14:30 "But when he noticed the strong wind, he was afraid and started to sink down in the water. "Save me, Lord!" he cried"
|
When we focus on God and not on our potential worry we will keep walking on the water!
|
When we trust in Him to bring a good outcome, that is one of peace and joy and His full presence then we will walk on the water of impossibility.
|
|
Psalm 84:11 "The Lord God is our sun and our strength: the Lord will give grace and glory: he will not keep back any good thing from those whose ways are upright"
|
We desire a happy outcome from our potential worry and this is a good thing that we seek from God, so we will have this because God has promised it.
|
|
Psalm 107:28-31 v28 "Then they send up their cry to the Lord in their sorrow, and he gives them salvation out of all their troubles"
|
v29 "He makes the storm into a calm, so that the waves are at peace"
|
"Then they are glad, because the sea is quiet, and he takes them to the harbour of their desire"
|
Let men give praise to the Lord for his mercy, and for the wonders which he does for the children of men!"
|
|
Worry has the potential to hit us many times in our lives. At first we will usually be feeling, heavy, weighed down, robbed of joy. As soon as we feel like this we must "send up our cry" to God about our worries. As we do so and focus on Him and begin to talk through with Him the problem His peace will fill us. He will lift the cloud of worry, and replace it with "peace and calm".
|
The harbour of our desire firstly is peace and calm, but after that it may the desired end to the potential worry problem that we are wanting in this desire.
|
Lastly when we have been filled with His peace we should praise God, and also when the day or hour comes of the worry that wanted to rob us of Gods joy, we should give thanks for the good end that He made happen for us.
