For the glory of God Isaiah 62:6,7
In today's text, the very important command to give Jehovah no rest is recorded.
The command to give Jehovah God no rest is
In imitation of the Lord, he prayed without ceasing according to his habit,
It is a command to serve and evangelize.
A spiritual principle is hidden in today's Word.
How can I keep God from resting?
If we look at verse 6, we must ask God to give us no rest.
You can see that there are things to do.
You who make the LORD remember, he said, “Do not rest.
In order for God to not rest
We believe that we should not rest for the spiritual mission that God has entrusted to us first. I need to let the glory of God show through me and the work of God through me.
To bring glory to God, to keep God from resting
What should I do?
Don't stop praying.
Do not stop pondering the Word.
Don't stop singing praises.
Never cease to receive the help of the Holy Spirit.
Never cease to be loyal, devotion, and service for the Church.
He did not stop until he was crowned before God, and he performed the entrusted mission well, giving glory to God.
Until that day when we stand before the Lord, for our church, for the saints,
May God the Father be all of you who allow no rest.
Congratulations.
There is nothing we cannot do as long as God works with us.
Therefore, in order for God to be with us, for the glory of God, there is something we must do first.
1. We must continue to pray until God has ordained it.
Ecclesiastes 3:1 says that under the heavens there is a time for everything and a time for every purpose to be fulfilled. In other words, everything I do has a deadline and a time to be fulfilled.
There are tough deadlines. It's not that God does it haphazardly. Although humans cannot know it, God knows everything precisely and acts with absolute sovereignty.
David also suffered many tribulations and hardships until God made him king at the age of 30. But if you look at the psalms, you can see how beautifully they spent that time of trouble.
In this way, looking at the ancestors of faith, in order to pray, to receive greater grace, to lead a godly life, God gave them tribulation and suffering until the time set by God.
So are you and me. Please do not be discouraged until our prayers are fulfilled. We must continue to ask God not to rest until the appointed time of God.
2. It is to have dreams and wishes that are pleasing to God.
God is pleased to have dreams and wishes for others than himself. When someone around him needs help, he takes pleasure in making a specific plan to help that person and praying for that person.
Even if we have that kind of heart, God is pleased and blesses us.
In Luke 6:38, He said, “Give, and it will be given to you; and it will be given to you, pressed down, shaken, and overflowing.”
This is how you bless others.
How much less can we not bless our dreams and wishes for God?
David had a desire to build a temple for God.
God saw that David had this heart and said it was good (1 Kings 8:18).
Jacob said, “If the Lord will be with me and will keep me on this road I am going, and will give me food to eat and clothes to wear, so that I may return to my father’s house in peace, then the Lord will be my God, and this stone that I have set up as a pillar will be God’s house. Of all that you give me, I will surely give you a tenth.]
(Gen. 28:20-22).
After receiving Jacob's heart, God blessed him, and God was with him, so it was finally rejected.
3. It is to boldly start dreaming and wishing for God.
Do not procrastinate, first make a concrete plan for God and set a goal, then put it into practice as soon as possible.
When you start, God's great hand begins to work. Hope you dream big.
If God is with you, nothing is impossible. If we don't do it, God does it through someone else.
Therefore, you and I have a plan that pleases God,
Working hard with a wish to make God's will come true
If we start by praying before God, He uses us for that work.
It is a great blessing for the saints to be able to pray continuously because they have endless prayer topics.
When everyone stops praying, their spiritual power disappears
become insensitive to God and His work,
Fellowship with God is cut off
In the end, they turn away from God and fall.
But if you keep praying, you will receive grace. If we live in grace, the fountain of grace always springs up and we overcome ourselves, Satan, and the world. When God gives us many tribulations, trials and tribulations in the last days, it is not because God is incompetent or does not love us. This is to keep us awake and praying.
Psalm 50:15 says, "Call on me in the day of trouble, and I will deliver you, and you will glorify me."
Our God does not forget and remembers those who cry out and pray before God. Therefore, you and I should have a wish and a dream for God and pray until that goal is accomplished beautifully and God is glorified. We must not stop praying so that God may continue to work. I hope that you will receive and enjoy all the blessings that God has prepared by relying on and asking for God in everything.
