The Dark Threads Are Just As Needful! 🧵

We don’t understand how the things in our life that seem so difficult are working together for our good, and for His good purposes.

Sometimes life just seems too hard and we ask why LORD? Why must I go through this?
We don’t see things from His perspective. We don’t know how each situation is being woven together, not only in our lives, but in the lives of others, to form something we could never imagine — An eternal weight of glory!
2 Corinthians 4:17-18
For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;
While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.
LORD, help us to trust You when we don’t understand, knowing that You love us, and You are doing something wonderful, not only in our lives, but in the lives of others. Something that will produce an eternal weight of glory!
When the worst happens in the life of Your children, the best is yet to be!
Romans 8:35-39
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written, For Thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us.
For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our LORD.
Does your life feel like the underside of a weaving, with a knotted mess of threads? Remember, in the Master’s hands He is making something beautiful! The dark threads ARE just as needful in His design!
“My life is but a weaving, between my God and me. I cannot choose the colors; He weaveth steadily.

Oft’ times He weaveth sorrow; and I in foolish pride; forget He sees the upper; and I the underside.
Not ’til the loom is silent; and the shuttles cease to fly; will God unroll the canvas; and reveal the reason why.

The dark threads are as needful; In the Weaver’s skillful hand; as the threads of gold and silver, in the pattern He has planned.”
Trust Him, no matter what you’re going through! Rejoice in Him!
Habakkuk 3:17-19
Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls:
Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation. The LORD God is my strength, and He will make my feet like hinds' feet, and He will make me to walk upon mine high places.

Strengthen The Weak! 🧵

How do we treat the weak among us? Do we belittle them because they are weak? Or rather do we encourage them in their weakness?
Encouragement doesn’t mean we don’t exhort them and instruct them in God’s Word, but it means we are patient with them as God works in their lives!
1 Thessalonians 5:14-24
Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly (insubordinate), comfort the feebleminded (faint-hearted), support the weak, be patient toward all men.

Each Day Has Enough Trouble! 🧵

We are told in God’s Word not to worry about the future, but to trust in the provision, and protection of our Father in heaven for each day!

Matthew 6:11
Give us this day our daily bread.

Our lives are to be lived one day at a time!
Luke 9:23
And He said to them all, If any man will come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me.
“O ye of little faith? Therefore take no thought.”

Matthew 6:25-34
Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?

Every Word Of God Is Pure! 🧵

Do you value the Word of God? Do you believe it is true; every Word of it? If every Word of God is pure and true, and you believe and value it, do you read His written Word? We are told to hide His Word in our hearts!
Psalm 119:10-12
With my whole heart have I sought Thee: O let me not wander from Thy commandments. Thy Word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against Thee. Blessed art Thou, O LORD: teach me Thy statutes.
You see beloved, if we love God, and believe Him, we will value His Word above all other words written or spoken. We will seek His Word, and seek to understand and walk in His Word with our whole heart!

Whatever Brings You Glory! 🧵

Are you willing to pray, LORD, do in my life whatever brings You glory?

Praying that prayer, is like praying the prayer we often talk about that I have prayed for my children, and my loved ones, and yes, each of you reading this message today!
That prayer is this — LORD, do whatever it takes in our lives to make our hearts completely Yours; don’t leave us alone until our hearts are fully surrendered to You!
Beloved, you see, the LORD uses the hard things in our lives not only to perfect us, and draw us closer to Him, but for His glory!

Waiting Is Hard! 🧵

Waiting is so hard, but waiting with hope makes it so much better!

I wrote the message below a couple of years ago but I want to share it again today, as I see in my own life and family those who feel like their hopes and dreams will never be realized!
Hope deferred, the Word says, makes the heart sick, but when your hope is finally realized, it is a tree of life!
What are you hoping and waiting for? Wait for it beloved — Keep hoping, because you serve a mighty God who has promised to give you the desires of your heart, when you put Him first, and delight in Him!

Who are the wicked? 🧵

When you think of the wicked, what comes to your mind? We associate wickedness with the ungodly of this world. Wicked they are, but the Word of the LORD; the prophets of God spoke in great part to the wicked among God’s own people!
Look at the Word often quoted today! Who is God speaking to here? His people!
2 Chronicles 7:14

If MY people, which are called by MY Name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek MY face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
