Dear God, "I do"

  "I do" is a statement that crowns weddings, representing a pledge and a covenant between God and the couple. Though only two words, it seals a promise that fulfills God's purpose for humanity in marriage.   Today, we reflect on sealing a promise to fulfill God's purpose for our lives—hence the title, 'Dear God, "I do."'      I n the Bible there was a young man named Jeremiah. God's word and plan for his life were revealed to him while he was still young. His initial response to God was not "I do"; instead, he made excuses for why he could not fulfill what God was asking of him. God's reply was reassuring: Jeremiah should not limit himself because of his youth, for God would be with him to help him fulfill the calling on his life.       From this scripture, we can identify seven reasons why we must not underestimate ourselves but instead respond to God's call to fulfill His purpose for our lives. Let's read Jeremiah 1:4-10,...

Introduction We live in a world where fear has become normal due to the current state of affairs. What if we could live a fearless life amidst all the trouble around us? It is possible. Today, we will talk about fear and how to combat it with God's Word. The Consequences of Fear There is an account of how the 12 Israelite spies went to scout the Promised Land. Ten of them brought back evil reports, saying, "The people were like giants in the land. We seemed like grasshoppers in our own eyes" (Numbers 13:33).

They doubted God, and as a result of their fear, they never stepped foot in the Promised Land. The only two people who left Egypt and entered the Promised Land were those who were not afraid and had their full trust in God: Caleb and Joshua. The story of Peter highlights the difference between fear and courage. In Matthew...

  Scripture reading : Habakkuk 2 Habakkuk 2:2-5 ESV [2] And the Lord answered me: “Write the vision; make it plain on tablets, so he may run who reads it. [3] For still the vision awaits its appointed time; it hastens to the end—it will not lie. If it seems slow, wait for it; it will surely come; it will not delay. [4] “Behold, his soul is puffed up; it is not upright within him, but the righteous shall live by his faith. [5] “Moreover, wine is a traitor, an arrogant man who is never at rest. His greed is as wide as Sheol; like death he has never enough. He gathers for himself all nations and collects as his own all peoples.” https://bible.com/bible/59/hab.2.2-5.ESV Faith in God is what keeps us going in life. More also what keeps us after life on earth.  As for those that put their faith in anything other than God, in verse 18 and 19 God Himself says "Woe unto them". After faith in God, we need to pray for the spirit of faithfulness unto Him. The word of God emphasises the ...
