Triumphantly Sharp

Triumphantly Sharp 

Psalm 41:10-11- "But You, O Lord, be merciful to me, and raise me up,That I may repay them. By this I know that You are well pleased with me,Because my enemy does not triumph over me." 

  

Yesterday we examined the importance of remaining "sharp" for God's service. Today's scripture reminds us to stay humble and allow God's purpose and providence to move forward.  When we trust God and allow him to move; in even the must superfluous situations we will witness how his love, grace, and peace will triumph in ways we could hardly imagine.  When we allow God to raise us up, to put us into position, to grant us access, the outcome will not only glorify God but the outcome will always be for our greater good.  Instead of always rushing in and proclaiming our right to exist, our right to be heard, our right to be in control or even our right to be "right"; when we wait on God with humility and patience, God will reward us with victory over our enemies and our own self doubt. 

     To remain "sharp" for service requires that we honestly examine ourselves and seek correction;  stay in relationship with fellow believers; and we must realize that we are God's workmanship and must humbly walk before our Creator.  Think about an area in your life where you might feel a bit "stuck" or defeated- release it - stop trying to figure it out and give it to the Master. Allow God to raise you up in the position of power to overcome whatever it is instead of scrambling and trying to reconcile it yourself, 

   Every day is a good day; it is up to us to make it a victoriously GREAT day. Be blessed! Dr. JoAnn.
