For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie; though it tarry wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry. (Habakkuk 2 Vs 3)
Christians are impatient about the send coming of Christ because they feel its taking long. William Miller had predicted that Jesus will come on 22 October 1844. At that time Christ was moving from the holly place to the most holly place but not coming to earth. At the right time Jesus will come to save his people. Often some people think that the vision will come to pass.
If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning. (Psalm 137 Vs 5)
This text is about origin. The text is based on the children of Israel that were taken captive to Babylon. Based on how they were raised and their worship, they purposed in their hearts that they will live up to statutes of God regardless of where they would be during the time when they will be in captivity. If they can forget Jerusalem then the right hand should forget its skin. Home, sweet home. If you know where you come from you will know where you are going. A nation without the past it’s a lost nation.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me besides still waters. (Psalms 23 Vs 2).
It’s an extract from the Lord’s Prayer. Green pastures are associated with peace. When we are stressed we take a walk on a green loon. After an outing where the pasture is green you feel relieved. Green colour is widely used to show lively. Another, key word is still waters. This is not just water but still waters. Still waters are a great magic to the human. It has become the greatest way of relieving stress. Couples find good times where there is still waters and the often visit river banks to take walks along water. Water is a good medicine to relieve stress. You will find peace for your soul where there are still waters.
Yea, though I walk through the shadow of the valley of death, I will fear no evil: for though art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. (Psalms 23 Vs 4).
The valley of shadow of death in simple terms refers to dangerous place. It’s a time when you are going through a challenging time in your life. At that time and moment you should not fear anything because God is with you. In the mist of trouble you will find comfort at the feel of Jesus. At a time when you feel God is far away from you, is a time when he is closer to you more than brother could be. At times in life you will feel God is far away from you.
But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Jesus Christ. (Philippians 4 Vs 18)
Regardless, of challenges you are going through today. God is aware and at the right moment and time he will act. Either you have financial challenges or you have health problems. These will come to pass because the bible tells me so. Challenges are part of growth. And if you do not have challenges you should be worried because challenges are a sign that you are going forward to attain something of value.
