Thoughts For Today

Some storms you will be able to walk on, others you will be able to rebuke, but some you will just have to grab the wood, hang on and ride the storm out.  During trials, results from bad choices, storms, or whatever you may be dealing with, hang on.  Deal with the heart issues anger; bitterness, resentment, judgment, rejection, unforgiveness or whatever is holding you.  Facing yourself is sometimes painful.  However, it is also crucial for you to acknowledge issues, accept correction and advance to the next level.  Be open to God revealing YOU, TO YOU and expect to experience true revelation in your life.  The Word tells us in John 15:16, “You have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain” John 15:2-5 tells us, “Every branch in Me that bears not fruit He takes away: and every branch that bears fruit, He purges it, that it may bring forth more fruit.  Now you are clean through the Word, which I have spoken unto you.  Abide in Me, and I in you.  As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can you, except ye abide in Me.  I am the vine, you are the branches: He that abides in Me, and I in him, the same brings forth much fruit: for without Me ye can do nothing.”  We know that outside of Him, nothing could be accomplished, but through Him, all things are possible (Luke 1:37).  Even as God is purging us and revealing the things that need to be cut away, He is still encouraging us to understand that not only will we see fruit, but that it will be fruit that remains.  Ecclesiastes 3:14 tells us, “I know that, whatsoever God does, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor anything taken from it: and God does it, that men should fear before Him.”  It will be added to your account and shall remain eternally.
