Have thine own way [June 13,2022 ]
Have thine own way
Isaiah 43:2
When thou passeth through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers: they shall not overflow thee: when thou walketh through fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee
God has not promised to keep us out of trouble, as the verse above says. But He has promised to be with us through whatever challenges we encounter.
The rivers and the fire in the verse represent all the trials and obstacles we face. God is with us always and once we entrust our lives to Him by accepting the gift of salvation and live a life worthy of our calling. He will see us through.
James 1:2 says
Count it all joy, when you pass through diverse temptations, knowing that the trying of our faith worketh patience. It makes us better people.
There is a hymn that says
Be still my soul
The Lord is on thy side
Bear patiently
The cross of grief or pain
Leave to thy Lord
To order and provide
In every change
He faithful will remain
Be still my soul
Thy best thine heavenly friend
Through thorny ways
Leads to a joyful end
Like the song above says , we may not understand God,’s ways but we can be sure it will lead to a joyful end.
Luke 22:42
Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but, thine be done.
Just as our Lord Jesus did in the verse above, we should learn to ask God to have His own way .
God be with you
How can I apply the word to my life?
1. Believe and accept that God moves in mysterious ways to perform His wonders.
2. When you pray each morning say:
“Have thine own way Lord”
Prayer
Let this song be your prayer
Have thine own way Lord
Have thine own way
You are the potter
And I am the clay
Have thine own way Lord
Have thine own way
You are the potter
And I am the clay
Amen
