Stay On Target
5 Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite.
6 The Lord lifteth up the meek: he casteth the wicked down to the ground.
7 Sing unto the Lord with thanksgiving; sing praise upon the harp unto our God:
8 Who covereth the heaven with clouds, who prepareth rain for the earth, who maketh grass to grow upon the mountains.
9 He giveth to the beast his food, and to the young ravens which cry.
10 He delighteth not in the strength of the horse: he taketh not pleasure in the legs of a man.
11 The Lord taketh pleasure in them that fear him, in those that hope in his mercy.
12 Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem; praise thy God, O Zion. Psalm 147:5-12 (KJV)
The Morning Exhortation
Dare to believe you have faith and brace yourself for the blessings that will follow. Faith is a military-like laser pointer able to guide the grace of God on target. Fight the good fight of faith with this God given target designator built on belief in the Word of Truth. Faith lights up “what is now” so that God can get it out of the way, and bring in “what is not.” It is so easy a child can do it. Just keep faith on target and wait for God to do what only God can do. The problem with us grown-ups is that we have to get our adult scientific reasoning out of the way. We have to get our own best laid plans out of the way. We have to stop relying on other things and giving glory to “lumps of figs” rather than to God. Call on the Lord, keep faith locked on target, and grace will follow. It must be so because God has said it is so. Stay on target and wait for the Lord.
