Sunday Reflection

 

Believers,

 

       Have you ever been so caught up in your own way that you became the

very thing standing in the way of your divine intervention? As children of God,

we often overlook our own disobedience when it comes to following His plan. We see trouble coming, yet instead of moving when God instructs us to move, we freeze in the midst of it. Then, when we find ourselves in the midst of turmoil we question God about why he allowed us to end up there, failing to realize that sometimes we are standing in the way of the very intervention we’ve been praying for because we choose to fulfill our desires instead of trending to His will. 

 

        In most cases it hurts even more when you finally come to the realization that you’ve been your own stumbling block the entire time. Receiving the revelation that you can’t be the one to fix it and you truly don’t have all the answers is the greatest gift God could’ve ever gave His children. When you find yourself finally putting your trust in God rather than yourself or man and allowing Him to intervene on your behalf things that always found themselves out of order will finally start to fall into place. Christ has a way of bringing calmness to every storm in a way that we never could've provided. 

 

      As sons and daughters of the most high, we have to understand in order for him to step in on our behalf we have to be willing to lay down our own plans. We must allow God to meddle in our mess in order to turn it into a masterpiece. Don’t allow comfort and confusion to keep you in the center of your mess. In order for God to turn things around for you, He needs a willing vessel.  You must be prepared to turn in the same direction with him not away from him. Sometimes the greatest thing standing in the way of your intervention is your unwillingness to surrender your own will, so stop standing in the way of what God is trying to do.  Trust Him and move when He says move!

Fellow Believers,

 

Did you know that at some point God calls us to turn around? The phrase

‘He is turning it around for me’ is a phrase that shows hope and reminds

believers that no matter how hard your situation may be, God has the

authority to turn things around. It may look like the devil has been winning but God said He is getting ready to turn things around. He is going to turn it around but He will turn it in your favor. God is getting ready to step into things and He is turning it around for you. God is stepping into your situation and is going to change the whole situation. 

 

It may seem like the devil is taking full control and he likes to rub it in your face when he thinks he is winning, but God is going to change some things and the only one who will be able to take credit is God. So get ready for divine intervention, that’s when God turns the situation around and they will say “how in the world.”  The God that we serve can make the impossible, possible. God said the first shall be last and the last shall be first, so if you trust God you will move up and become higher in the line. 

 

Divine intervention is the encouragement that it is not the end but it is designed to lead to future blessings. What looks like the end is just an opportunity for God to show his power.  He will turn your worst time into your best time. In your deepest despair, God will pull you closer to him and turn the situation around in your favor, through divine intervention. 

 

Our response to divine intervention is to believe and receive and to simply trust in his divine timing. Understand that God operates on His own timing, and you must trust that God is handling the situation even when it doesn’t happen when you want it to. 

 

As a believer, you have to be okay with how God turns the things around.  It won’t look like it’s in your favor at first but God has to shift things so you can see clearer. 

​

Therefore, rely on God and trust His timing.  Ultimately, you have to let God turn it around while you keep your faith in Him.  Consider this, if you had the power to change the situation on your own, it would have been done, but you need to trust in God's divine intervention to do what only He can do.  

 

The question is, will you put your plans down and trust God and His timing, even before your turn around?

 

Respectfully, 

Sis. Tori Lundy
