TUESDAY APRIL 1
“[He] will be proved
right in what [he] says.” Ro 3:3 NLT
WHAT HAS GOD SAID ABOUT
YOU? (1)
Paul
writes, “What’s the advantage of being a Jew? Yes, there are great benefits!
First of all, the Jews were entrusted with the whole revelation of God. True,
some of them were unfaithful; but just because they were unfaithful, does that
mean God will be unfaithful? Of course not!...[He] will be proved right in what
[he]says” (vv.1-3 NLT). God has spoken specific things concerning you. Those
things are His will for your life. You must believe them, carry them within
you, and speak them over your life. Get over the notion that everybody has to
accept what God said about you. Your vision should be independent of outside
support. That’s a difficult concept to grasp, especially in a democracy where
others vote and the majority rules. God’s kingdom is a theocracy: only one
voice and one vote counts--His! Refuse to put your vision on hold waiting for
everybody to come into agreement with you. Not only do they not have to support
you, they don't even have to believe what God told you! You can't afford to
wait for them to get comfortable with your vision before you pursue it. When
people misunderstand you or refuse to help you, you can still get there without
them. God is a covenant-making, covenant-keeping God, and what He has spoken
over your life will surely come to pass. If you doubt that, read this: “My
word...will not return to my empty, but will accomplish what I desire and
achieve the purpose for which I sent it” (Isa 55:11 NIV). That’s all the
validation you need!
