The Breakthrough - Part Two

Scripture:  Proverbs 3:5-6 – Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; 6In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.
Awaiting a “breakthrough” while in our mortal bodies — everything temporal must be seen in light of our eternal destination.  Ecclesiastes 9:10 reads:  â€œWhatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might, for there is no work or device or knowledge or wisdom in the grave where you are going.”

God gives abundant life now for us to love and enjoy Him.  There will be periods of faith with action (James 2:18.)  We must behave like children of God (Romans 12:9-2).  We serve as to the Lord without complaining, or resentment (Colossians 3:23-24).

There will be periods of listening & worshipping like Mary, the sister of Martha & Lazarus.  Mary sat at Jesus’ feet and listened (Luke 10:38-42).  Later on, Mary was thoughtful enough to worship Jesus with a sacrifice of costly perfume (John 12:1-8).

There will be periods of purpose with determined focus, “to live is Christ” like the apostle Paul.  We develop eternal values sharing the Gospel of Christ (Philippians 1:21-24).

There are periods like King David (Psalm 32).  When utilizing Ist John 1:9, we are assured that we never fall out of God’s grace.  God’s forgiveness brings us joy in Him.  God’s determined will and plan to keep His Word stands.  Proverbs 3:5-6 still apply since we get the chance to start all over again.  Our election from God also brings us favor from Him.  God said that David was a man after His own heart (1st Samuel 13:14 & Acts 13:22-23).

Prayer:  Dear Heavenly Father, as we wait on our “breakthrough”, please help us to trust in you always.  In Jesus’ name, Amen.
