2 Chronicles 15:7 “But you, take courage! Do not let your hands be weak, for your work shall be rewarded!”
Keeping Up!
Whatever hour
HE’s chosen in
your Life for course
correction;
Whichever souls
HE brings across
our paths by HIS
direction…
with certainty know
this! GOD’s timing
stands without
critiquing.
Therefore follow all
HIS footprints and
embrace the pace
HE’s keeping!
As HIServant keeping
up with wholly
surrendering to and
relentlessly serving our

Devotional: 1 Chronicles 16:11 “Seek the LORD and HIS strength; seek HIS presence continually!”
Galatians 6:9 – “And let
us not grow weary of
doing good, for in due
season we will reap, if
we do not give up.”
The old story goes of GOD telling a man to push a large boulder.
The man agrees and GOD leaves for a time.
40 years later, the man hasn’t moved the boulder though he’s never stopped pushing every day.
Then GOD appears again and the man is devastated. “I tried, LORD! I never stopped pushing like YOU. But I can’t move it!”
With the briefest of thoughts, GOD moves the obstacle high up to the mountain top.
Turning back to the man, HE says, “Well done, good and faithful servant! Enter into MY rest!”
Overcome with grief and joy in the moment, he cast himself at the MASTER’s feet and wept.
BUT GOD! Knowing the heart as only HE can, whispered the explanation to the broken servant.
“MY child, I never asked you to move it…just to push.”
How true, beloved!
Jeremiah preached forty years without a convert yet blessed and highly favored is he because HE kept pushing.
Let us then do likewise, unfazed by apparently immovable objects or people, and just push forward — empowered by Zeal.
THAT’s obedience. Use us, oh GOD, and move us however YOU desire.
Job 42:2 “I know that YOU can do all things; no purpose of YOURS can be thwarted.”
Abba, FATHER! So we glorify YOUR NAME!
Amen and amen.
