I have often felt that numbers do not lie, and yet this is not true in all cases. Numbers can be brought forward that are deceptive in nature, so consequently their motive is to give you wrong information. We know that it is the individual that will be held accountable for this deception, not the numbers themselves, but perhaps that is for another day.
I have of late been eating a lot of salads, and I will admit that I am loving them! For some time I have felt the need to shift from what I was eating, things that were really outside of my normal diet, to more what I will call digestible food. Greens have been my friends for all my life, and whereas others may crave sugar, I crave salad.
The other day when I stepped on the scale and did not see the number, that I had hoped to see, I felt a twinge of disappointment. As I walked to the other side of my bathroom, in my spirit, I knew that the Holy Spirit was speaking to that number.
I heard a simple question. Are you about to pull away when the scale is about to change? We all have been in this place. Discouragement begins to weigh on us and we begin to justify why we should give up. There are tapes that run through are minds that are so familiar. This is too hard, this really doesn’t matter, this will not bring about change in my life, I am not the right person to be used by God.
Of course, by now you realize that the message Holy Spirit was after was not about my weight, but something much more significant. When the Lord has called us to an assignment, and we don’t see everything fall in place immediately, we can begin an argument with ourselves.
This argument is meant to get us to give up and change lanes! Consequently, we begin looking for answers within our soul when it is the Holy Spirit that wants to being the solution.
The Spirit of God says in Luke 21:19, Stand firm with patient endurance and you will find your souls deliverance. Holy Spirit brings the solution and we bring the action.
When God calls us He equips us with everything we need. We truly are anointed and appointed!
When the spirit of fear enters into what God is doing you take a stand, and remind yourself that you are fully equipped to run the race that God has called you to with no lack! Don’t quit when things are just beginning to happen. God is never late and His promises are absolutely true!
Joshua 1:9 Amplified Have not I commanded you? Be strong, vigorous, and very courageous. Be not afraid, neither be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.
