Word of Encouragement for Every New Day ~ 2 Dec 2007

Word of Encouragement for Every New Day ~ 2 Dec 2007

Psalm 107:11-12 11 for they had rebelled against the words of God and despised the counsel of the Most High. 12 So he subjected them to bitter labor; they stumbled, and there was no one to help.

Today’s word of encouragement is about our rebellious nature. When things don’t happen OUR way it seems like we respond in a childish manner, and rebel. We’d be surprised that even adults respond childishly sometimes.

But today’s word is more than just rebellion, but rebellion towards our father, His word, and the people God puts in authority. If we continue our rebellious ways, it is clear that God will make us pay for our consequences, and no one will come to our rescue. Though, this may seem so harsh, so cold, but in all honesty this is love!

Our Father loves us UNCOMDITIONALLY! This means that God will do everything to teach us discipline if we need it; He will allow us to go through trials, obstacles, face persecution, and fight temptation.

God is for us! Nothing can be against us! He is our rock, our refuge, our strong tower! Do not be afraid, give everything to Him, and seek His forgiveness.
