Get Ready For God's Blessings
Joshua told the people, "Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the LORD will do amazing things among you." -- Joshua 3:5
If you took away my contacts and my reading glasses, I wouldn't be able to see anything beyond something right in from of my face. I'm that blind. Sometimes it seems that blindness also translates into my life. I'm so focused on today's issues that I can't see how tomorrow could possibly bring wonderful changes.
Yet the Bible tells us to prepare ourselves. God has wonderful things in store for us. He has plans for us, plans to give us a hope and a future. We don't have to remain stuck in the pit. He's offering a hand up to anyone willing to trust Him and follow His lead. It's just so amazing.
Of course, the key is to prepare ourselves for this wonderful future. It doesn't mean sitting back in the recliner and waiting for God to act. He doesn't work that. Not that He couldn't. He just doesn't. God expects us to do our part.
So spend time reading and studying the Bible. Pray to God without ceasing, making sure to listen to what He has to say. Take part in Bible studies and don't skimp on opportunities to help others. Live your life according to His will today and you'll be amazed at the blessings that reign down on you.
