Do Not Despair, But Trust Into The Lord Because He Controls The Course Of World Events

Read and hear this with your hart:

21 God controls the course of world events;
He removes kings and sets up other kings.
He gives wisdom to the wise
and knowledge to the scholars.

22 He reveals deep and mysterious things
and knows what lies hidden in darkness,
though he is surrounded by light.

Daniel 2:21-22

Did you get it? God is in control. Yes He is. He knows your current situation. He knows what you are struggling with. So WHAT if He knows and in the same time He does not change it. Why God does not change the things so I would feel better, so all those problems and frustration would disappear?

We are assured and know that
[God being a partner in their labor
or/and God works all things with them]
all things work together
and are [fitting into a plan] for good to and for those who love God
and are called according to [His] design and purpose.

Romans 8:28

See… all things work together for good and for those who love God, and God does it so. Also please read the next line. We see it’s a matter of love. So, do you love God? Do you really do? What means to love God?

Jesus answered,
If a person [really] loves Me,
he will keep My word [obey My teaching];
and My Father will love him,
and We will come to him
and make Our home (abode, special dwelling place) with him.

John 14:23

So now, from the course of world events and the things that happen daily in our life we found out that we have to keep God’s word, to obey Him.

Maybe you will say… I’ve been faithful to God, I obeyed Him, and now look what terrible things are happening to me. Yes that is true. You have a holly life. So God loves you. This means that what is happening now it is for your own good. We don’t see what’s around the corner. We don’t understand God’s mighty plan in all it’s beauty. Maybe you are discouraged and frustrated. Yes, it’s OK in the first time. But now your eyes have the opportunity to be opened and understand that God is in control. This is an eye opener. So what should we do then?

Do not fret or have any anxiety about anything,
but in every circumstance and in everything [even when it is hard],
by prayer and petition (definite requests), with thanksgiving,
continue to make your wants known to God.

Philippians 4:6

What we learn is to bring our worries and thoughts to Jesus. Tell them to Him directly by prayer. Have some time just with Him and tell Him what’s on your mind and what is troubling you. In the same time fight the good fight loving Him. This means to do your best to obey God. And if it happens to fail sometimes, watch this…

Have I any pleasure in the death of the wicked? says the Lord,
and not rather that he should turn from his evil way and return [to his God] and live?

Ezekiel 18:23

My little children,
I write you these things
so that you may not violate God’s law and sin.
But if anyone should sin,
we have an Advocate (One Who will intercede for us) with the Father
–[it is] Jesus Christ
[the all] righteous [upright, just,
Who conforms to the Father’s will in every purpose, thought, and action].

1 John 2:1

So do not desperate, trust into the Lord because He controls the course of world events.

Genuine Peace

29 Thus says the king:
Let not Hezekiah deceive you.
For he will not be able to deliver you out of my hand.

30 Nor let Hezekiah make you trust in and rely on the Lord,
saying, The Lord will surely deliver us,
and this city will not be given into the hand of Assyria’s king.

31 Hearken not to Hezekiah,
for thus says the king of Assyria:
Make your peace with me and come out to me,
and eat every man from his own vine
and fig tree and drink every man the waters of his own cistern,

32 Until I come and take you away
to a land like your own,
a land of grain and vintage fruit,
of bread and vineyards,
of olive trees and honey,
that you may live and not die.
Do not listen to Hezekiah when he urges you,
saying, The Lord will deliver us.

2 Kings 18:29-32

This passage is part of a larger one that describes Assyria’s army siege over Jerusalem. Here, Rabshakeh, one of the  leaders of the Assyrian army, talks to the people of Jerusalem, trying to discourage them.

This ancient event resembles with something very contemporary. In the same way the Devil’s servants come to us trying to discourage us. We might have a good new pastor, one that really fears and obeys God. So the Devil sends a greater army to deceive us, to destroy us. In the same way we are promised earthly rewards. We are promised wealth and peace. But only the peace that comes from God is the real peace. The one that is not only exterior but the one that is also in our hearts and the most important will last for ever.

Devil wants to surrender to him. See in verse 31 the process that we are called to subscribed to, by the Devil. We have to stop listening to God and to any of His people. We have to make peace with the Devil, the lord of this world. We are called to subdue to him. And by doing us we are promised great wealth and the so called peace. In the same way the Anti-Christ will charm the whole word.

We have to be strong. To know in Whom we trust, to know our identity in Christ . So we have not to be charmed and fooled by this word that offers us the illusion of happiness and peace.

Peace I leave with you;
My [own] peace I now give and bequeath to you.
Not as the world gives do I give to you.
Do not let your hearts be troubled,
neither let them be afraid.
[Stop allowing yourselves to be agitated and disturbed;
and do not permit yourselves to be fearful
and intimidated and cowardly and unsettled.]

John 14:27

The only genuine peace and happiness we find in God. So, please, do not get fooled by the lord of this world.

God Guide me on the Road of Eternal Life

Daniel Condurachi Blog byCodDot Photo Image of Ohrid lake Macedonia God Guide me on the Road of Eternal Life IMG_1651-mod-01_.jpg

Investigate my life, O God,
find out everything about me;
Cross-examine and test me,
get a clear picture of what I’m about;
See for yourself whether I’ve done anything wrong—
then guide me on the road to eternal life.

Psalm 139:23-24

1-2 God, come close.
Come quickly!
Open your ears—it’s my voice you’re hearing!
Treat my prayer as sweet incense rising;
my raised hands are my evening prayers.

3-6 Post a guard at my mouth, God,
set a watch at the door of my lips and eyes.
Don’t let me so much as dream of evil
or thoughtlessly fall into bad company.
And these people who only do wrong—
don’t let them lure me with their sweet talk!
May the Just One set me straight,
may the Kind One correct me,
Don’t let sin anoint my head.
I’m praying hard against their evil ways.

Psalm 141:1-6

What to do When You Betrayed Others

When anyone sins by betraying trust with God
by deceiving his neighbor regarding something entrusted to him,
or by robbing or cheating or threatening him;
or if he has found something lost and lies about it
and swears falsely regarding any of these sins that people commonly commit
—when he sins and is found guilty,
he must return what he stole or extorted,
restore what was entrusted to him,
return the lost thing he found,
or anything else about which he swore falsely.
He must make full compensation, add twenty percent to it,
and hand it over to the owner on the same day he brings his Compensation-Offering.
He must present to God as his Compensation-Offering
a ram without any defect from the flock,
assessed at the value of a Compensation-Offering.

Thus the priest will make atonement for him before God and he’s forgiven of any of the things that one does that bring guilt.

Levitic 6:1-7

Wise Pieces of Advice for Your Life – Christian Perspective – Proverbs 13:13-25

The wise pieces of advice for your life for today, based on the Christian perspective, are from Proverbs 13:13-25:

  • obey God’s Word, because you will surely be rewarded;
  • listen to what the wise man tells you, because it is a river of life that saves you from death for foolishness;
  • gain as much wisdom, because this is what will ease your path;
  • always work with data, know all the circumstances and research first before taking a decision;
  • if you do not appreciate when someone tells that you made a mistake then shame and poverty is your future;
  • walk with the wise and you will become one of them;
  • depart from sin and you will be rewarded with happiness;
  • if you love your children discipline them when needed;
  • wishing to do good things and actually doing them brings a lot of satisfaction;

13 Ignore the Word and suffer;
honor God’s commands and grow rich.

14 The teaching of the wise is a fountain of life,
so, no more drinking from death-tainted wells!

15 Sound thinking makes for gracious living,
but liars walk a rough road.

16 A commonsense person lives good sense;
fools litter the country with silliness.

17 Irresponsible talk makes a real mess of things,
but a reliable reporter is a healing presence.

18 Refuse discipline and end up homeless;
embrace correction and live an honored life.

19 Souls who follow their hearts thrive;
fools bent on evil despise matters of soul.

20 Become wise by walking with the wise;
hang out with fools and watch your life fall to pieces.

21 Disaster entraps sinners,
but God-loyal people get a good life.

22 A good life gets passed on to the grandchildren;
ill-gotten wealth ends up with good people.

23 Banks foreclose on the farms of the poor,
or else the poor lose their shirts to crooked lawyers.

24 A refusal to correct is a refusal to love;
love your children by disciplining them.

25 An appetite for good brings much satisfaction,
but the belly of the wicked always wants more.

Proverbs 13:13-25

How To Stay Strong

The Bible is full of advices and hints of how to have a good life. Indeed what matters most is what comes after this life. Nevertheless, God is interested of how we fell about living this life.

This morning God talked to me by Psalm 125:

Those who trust in God are like Zion Mountain: Nothing can move it, a rock-solid mountain you can always depend on. Mountains encircle Jerusalem, and God encircles his people – always has and always will.

The fist of the wicked will never violate.

What is due the righteous, provoking wrongful violence.

Be good to your good people, God, to those whose hearts are right!

God will round up the backsliders, corral them with the incorrigibles.

Peace over Israel!

What I understand is that:

  • if I trust in the Lord
    • I shall not totter
    • I shall be strengthen for ever
  • God encircles me, and nothing really bad would happen to me
  • the Evil will not harm me for ever and soon I shall be delivered
  • be good and with a good hart and God will repay me
  • pray for the peace of Israel

Abundant Blessings

I know somebody that is rich in goodness, that is kindest person I ever meet and has given me great abundant blessings. He has such a soft voice and such a powerful hand. The best advices come from Him, because is more than a doctorate in the human soul. He understands my needs, my desires. And in the same time, He gives me what I need, not what my desires. I am much happier like this because most of the times I really don’t know what is the best for me, I don’t know myself good enough and I don’t know my future, what is ahead.
