Charles Coalson once said something that really convicted me.  He said:  “The hope that each of us have is not in who governs us, or what laws are passed, or what great things that we do as a nation. Our hope is in the power of God working through the hearts of people, and that’s where our hope is in this country; that’s where our hope is in life.”

 

My question today is:  Do we truly understand the power of God working through the hearts of people?  And, more importantly, do we understand the power of God working in our own heart?

 

Sometimes we simply aim too low.

 

As is ALWAYS the case, God has given us the answer and it is always available BEFORE we seek it…..but often, we do not see it until we “think” we are in a bind.

 

Jeremiah 12  7Also, seek the peace and prosperity of the city to which I have carried you into exile. Pray to the LORD for it, because if it prospers, you too will prosper.”

 

All of us have ended up in a situation where we did not want to be.

 

It could be a job, a team, a role, a school, a city, or whatever it might be.  What happens when we feel stuck in a spot where we don’t want to be?

 

If we ask the Lord:  He will tell us to change our environment.

 

Not live with our environment.

Not endure our environment.

Not complain about our environment.

 

CHANGE our environment.

 

Nothing great has ever happened when someone walked into a situation where all was perfect and simply fit in.

 

Greatness occurs when someone comes in and changes his or her surroundings.  One man can not physically change a situation……but a man who has the anointing of God can change a country.  And God has offered His anointing to anyone who will get on His knees to proclaim Jesus King, walk under the authority of His Word, and humbly follow, pray and listen to what He is trying to do.

 

This is not a sentence written in a nice novel.

 

It is a promise in the Word of God.

 

So what are we waiting for?  We need to stop focusing on our issues and our deficiencies and our problems and start focusing on the fact that the King of the Universe wants to do something amazing right where we are.

 

Read that verse and meditate on it.  And I challenge you to do what I do:  Apply it to March 29, 2017 and make it be TODAY.  Ask God to give you daily bread for today:

Jeremiah 12  7Also, seek the peace and prosperity of the city to which I have carried you into exile. Pray to the LORD for it, because if it prospers, you too will prosper.”

 

Seek the good of your situation….because if it gets blessed–you will too!

 

In the Name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.  Amen.
