12-23-2021 – A Word to the Wise – Near my God to thee
The scriptures are full of patterns which give us directions on how to handle difficult situations. Before I give you this one it is important to observe that this is not how you deal with every problem. This is special and must be done correctly. When I say correctly, I mean the request must be written down. It must be dated and timed. Its whole purpose is to confirm just how powerful our God is. This is the pattern.
Isaiah 7:10.” The Lord spoke to Ahaz, Ask a sign of the Lord your God; Let it be deep as Sheol or high as heaven.”
The Lord does everything in his power to see that we have the basis for believing and trusting him. This is reserved for special situations, and people who are not believers or losing their faith by discouragement.
The simple question you ask the person is this; Is there something the Lord would do for you that would cause you to believe and follow him the rest of your days?
If the person says yes, you may ask what it is, but it is not important to know. All that is important is that you earnestly ask the Lord to grant the request. You then write it down and I do not mean on a computer, rather on paper, with pen and ink. Psalms 145.
