Hosanna Restoration Church

I have decided that this should be my running start into the New Year. I want this to be the way I close this year and begin next year; declaring that God will rule forever and ever. I intend to make this my daily declaration. “Today God rules my life! God will guide me in all my ways. God will protect and direct me. God will be my shield and strengthen me. This will be a great day!”
Yes, on a personal level I want to remember who I desire to control my life. In order for God to be in control, I must present myself to Him and ask Him to take charge. This truly is my desire, so it should be the way I start my day. Then throughout the day I need the Holy Spirit to remind me that God will rule. I need to do my part so that my life reveals the greatness of God. Then when there are those who need hope, I will have hope on display and will be prepared to tell why my hope is in the God who never fails.
Next, I need to keep this truth on my heart and mind so that when the world around me attempts to rise up and get under my skin, I will have an answer! God will rule forever and ever. Another song line that the Lord gave me long ago said, “sure temptations all around you…this world’s an evil place…God gives us strength to make it though…it’s a loving gift called grace.” As a Christian, I should never throw in the towel. I should not be looking at the Lord’s rule like it is so the lost can get what they have coming to them. I should see it as an opportunity for all.
Remember, those who mock God are deceived; they do not know what they are doing. Recently we ended up watching a late night show on television. This is something we simply don’t bother with normally. After watching it I felt so sad and mad. Then more sad and ultimately felt like I was glad I saw it. Let me tell you why. It stirred up a renewed sense of just how lost people are.
Even at my worst I do not believe I ever even felt the urge to intentionally mock God, let alone actually do it. Now I see a person doing it, and realize that they have a lot of followers laughing with them. Oh how sad this is and how awful it will be if they do not come to know the truth. I want God to show me how to pray for these folks. I want them to know the truth. I want them to know the joy of the Lord. I want. I want. I want.
I want the world to see the true God, the loving God, the one who died for us. So I need to remember He will rule forever and ever. This must be true in my life and must be made obvious to the world of unbelievers. Plan now for eternity! We can do this thing! Go team Jesus!
