Birth Only The Promise

Happy New Year!  I’m excited about what this year shall unfold.   People often have different thoughts going on in them as they come to a close of one year and approach the next.  Will I repeat some of the same dilemmas as last year?  Will I be more committed this year and more productive?  Will I make more money or will I find myself struggling like the last year?  So many thoughts, concerns and often times worry can drain us before we ever get started. 


Have no fear, Jesus said, He has prepared a place for us and knowing Him as the Way, Truth, Light and Door will cause our lives to be less of a struggle.  When we define the word “way”, it means a space of passing, a route, a course, a method of doing something or manner of living.  Jesus said He is our method and route for 2012.  What does that mean?  We do not have to keep struggling in an effort of striving.  Striving to do better, striving to succeed, striving to get ahead, or striving to make it.  God’s Word must become our route and course that we must follow so we can remain in a place of “rest”, knowing we are on course for ultimately what God has pre-ordained for us to walk in.  Remaining on His path, will cause us to walk into the suddenly moments that already have our name on it. 

Jesus is also referred to as the “door.”  A door is a moveable structure for opening and closing an entrance, a means of access.  Do you realize that as you remain in fellowship with the Lord, through prayer and sitting still before Him, God will cause you to walk through the doors that He already prepared for you?  He is your means of access into your destiny, your happiness, your wealth, your dreams and desires.  We do not have to exhaust ourselves in works of the flesh; but remain in a place of rest so you can walk out what God has instructed for you to do.  There is a grace that will enable you and carry you through every God-given endeavor.

Galatians 4:23,29 says, “But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise.  But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now.”
Abraham was promised a child from God, but when it seemed like time was getting away from him; he decided to help God out.  As a result of his human efforts, to birth his own child, that child became a thorn to the one that was promised by God.

Sometimes, we have a tendency to look around at what others are doing and try to follow suit.  Some people exhaust themselves trying to be like others and do what others are doing and never find out what God wants them to do.  As a result, people have unnecessary frustration and some things leave us drained and dry in different areas.  Do not allow the striving of fleshly works birth something that God never ordained.  Some things can come back to bite you later.
