In Need 2!

In Need 2!

Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. Matthew 5:4 KJV

Yet again, it is emphasized that the surest way to get God's help is to admit that you do not have all the answers, you can't help yourself and you need His help daily. All the Beattitudes mentioned by Jesus in Matthew 5 all speak to human needs and divine solutions and conclusions to these needs. If you do not think you fall in any of the categories, why then would you think that you can claim the benefits? 

Today's extract addresses those who mourn. It could be as a result of the effect of sin, or an admission of helplessness in the face of the daily challenges that we face, but the start point of the suppy of God's grace, power and strength is the admission that there is a need in me that only God can satisfy. Am I so unconcerned with sin that it doesn't bother me much? Am I comfortable with seeing people go to hell when I know the antidote? Am I so focused on my needs that I do not care what is going on around me? 

If you are not bothered about the state of the world around you and it doesn't move you to go on your knees and pray, how can you expect an automatic change around you? If the devil can get busy polluting the atmosphere with sin and a lackadaisical attitude to its effect, why would we, who know God's view about sin, remain unconcerned and not bothered by it? If God calls death the wages of sin, what are we doing to counter its power? 

It is safer to mourn now, take the right steps to enthrone God's authority in the earth and establish his purpose down here. Go into your private room, call on God. Ask Him what His perfect will is, and how He wants you to respond to what is going on around you. His coming is at hand; He returns anytime soon. If I will lay hold of the comfort He offers, now is the time to get uncomfortable and to get to work. His Word is sure and certain, and whatever He promises will definitely come to pass. I must play my part, certain that God will always play his part. His time of favour is here.
