Thoughts for another day
July 14, 2010
Today's verse: Zech. 10:1. Ask ye of the LORD rain in the time of the latter rain; so the LORD shall make bright clouds, and give them showers of rain, to everyone grass in the field. (KJV)
(Pls. read the above before you read further. Thanks)
I love to read about the Sovereignty of the Lord in His beautiful Word. Once, when they were riding the boat on the Sea of Galilee, there was turbulence in the water and the waves lashed the boat, so much so that it was heaving up and down, sending shivers of panic down the backs of the Apostles. While this happened, Jesus was sleeping! Imagine sleeping in the midst of the storm as if it was nothing. They woke Him up in great fright. He rebuked the winds and commanded the sea, ‘Peace be still.’ That was it, the sea quieted down as would a child after being reprimanded. Only a Word from the Master could make the sea shut up…imagine the power of God.
God’s Sovereignty extends to everything on earth and things outside of the earth. There’s nothing beyond His Sovereignty and at all times He is in control. Today’s Scripture says to ask the Lord for rain in the time of the latter rain (those that come in spring). For in that time the land is waiting to be cooled down; for its thirst to be quenched. Further it says that the LORD shall make ‘bright’ clouds and give showers of rain and grass in the field! The affirmative is in the asking first of all and then the Sovereign Lord’s answer with t rain as asked for.
Note here the absolute command of the Lord on all things on earth and elsewhere; for God’s power is Supreme. Today His power is at our disposal, when we approach Him with confidence in the Name of Jesus Christ. Our faith provides Him the platform to work our miracles as faith does away with all impediments blocking His blessing on our lives. Let me also say, sometimes though we have faith and though His Sovereignty extends over us, we see no visible action of His as is considered visible by us, but as sure as we live and He lives, He is working steadily toward fulfilling what we have asked. So hang on and ask the Sovereign Lord, in your tears if possible, what you want and He will give it to you.
