HOW TO DO ANYTHING

1 Corinthians 1:30 God has united you with Christ Jesus. For our benefit God made him to be wisdom itself. ...

We were listening to Joseph Prince preaching on the fact that Jesus is our wisdom, that if we need wisdom for anything He is the one to go to and call on.

Later in the day we received a text to say our new fridge freezer was going to be delivered next day so we had to move the old freezer out to make room for the new one. Now if you have vinyl flooring you know it can rip so whatever you move across it has to be done gently and carefully! (I speak from past ripping experiences!)

The old fridge freezer is a big thing and we were struggling to move it, trying to work out how to slide it on bits of cardboard etc. to protect the floor. It was proving really difficult but the preaching about Jesus being our wisdom came to mind so we prayed and asked Jesus for His wisdom in this situation for the best solution. Within a few moments the Holy Spirit gave us the answer just like that, it just popped into my head, and we'd been trying to move it for quite a while! We moved it easily and everything was all right. 

The reason I told you all that is because God wants to encourage us to make our Christian walk practical, to help each one of us to remember to not only commit what we do to the Lord first but also to ask for His wisdom and insight even in the most everyday affairs of life. 

God is interested in all areas of our lives and He can make things so much easier for us if we'll just ask and believe for the answer to be given.

So what have you got to do today? Need some help? Why not have a chat with God about it first and ask Him for the best way to go about it? He can tell us how to do anything because He made Jesus to be wisdom for us. I'm sure you wont regret it.😊

WHERE TO FIND NEW STRENGTH

Isaiah 40:29 He gives power to the weak and strength to the powerless. v.31 But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint.

Some days we are stronger than others and it's on the 'other' days that we need to know this verse! It's good to remember that when we go to the Lord in faith and ask Him to renew our strength He will do just that, both spiritually and physically. So often we just struggle on in our own efforts!

The Apostle Paul knew extreme weakness and he'd learned to call on the grace of God to be everything he needed to recover and be strengthened. (2 Corinthians 12:9) God's grace does cover everything, every circumstance, every weakness and He's already given it to us.

God doesn't want us to be anxious when we seem to have run out of steam, when we're worn out by doing too much, when our emotions have drained us, when we feel like fainting, when we don't even have the energy to put one foot in front of the other, because today's verse and others tell us what to do.

So next time you feel like any of the above just go to the Lord, stand on His promises, call on His grace and declare by faith: 

"Lord I'm trusting You, relying on You and asking You for Your strength and energy to flow into me again. Thank You Lord You're helping me to walk and not faint, to run and not be weary. Thank You Lord You're helping me mount up with wings like an eagle above the weariness and weakness and I 'see' by faith your energy pouring into me all through the day. Every day, in every way by faith, I'm getting stronger and stronger and healthier, because Your grace is more than enough for me. Thank You Lord Amen."

Be strong in Him today.😊
