God has a panoramic perspective

Tell the righteous it will be well with them, for they will enjoy the fruit of their deeds. ~Isaiah 3:10 (NIV)

Knowing everything is going to be okay is a comforting assurance we all need to hear.  When worries and burdens hang over our heads, God's word is definitely the place to go.  In Isaiah 3:10 God gives us two awesome promises, He says to tell the righteous it will be well with them and tell them that they will enjoy the fruit of their deeds.  If you have accepted Jesus as your Savior, then you have been made righteous and when God declares loud and clear that it is going to be well with the righteous, you can rest assured everything is going to be okay.  The Lord speaks with divine authority when He tells us we will enjoy the fruit of our deeds.  Every good deed is a seed, and it will eventually produce fruit if we will continue to believe that God loves us and has a great plan for our lives.  He tells us in Galatians 6:9 "Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up". (NIV) Have you become weary in doing good?  Are you tired of being the one to forgive and forget?  Are you fed up with being the one to bite your tongue when everything in you wants to give someone a tongue lashing?  Have you become exhausted with the repetitious misbehavior of others?  Well, there is good news!  Keep on keeping on and live to love and God says you will not only make it over that hump, but you will reap a heavenly reward for living and loving the way Jesus demonstrated to us.

One of the greatest lies of the enemy is to convince believers they shouldn't expect anything good from what they do good.  Oh, he is okay for you to expect something bad when you do something bad.  He will actually accuse you of those deeds all day long.  But if you do something good, he tells you humble people don't expect anything because that would be greedy.  The truth is that greed is just accumulating without any spiritual purpose.  So, the real question is:  What are you doing with what you accumulate?  If we don't accumulate, how are we going to further the Kingdom of God?  How are we going to be a blessing when a need comes our way?  Don't let the enemy talk you out of your blessings, God will bless your good deeds. Every single one of them!  Your prayers and your acts of kindness have been recognized.  He sees it all and He knows when you feel like you are hanging by a thread.  He says when the enemy tempts you to give up, He will provide a way out of that temptation so when you find yourself feeling like you just don’t have one more ounce of love to give, look for that provision.  Make up your mind to start looking for the way out that God is providing that keeps you in the game.  Change is coming!  People are being transformed by the power of the Holy Spirit.  God hears your prayers and those you have been praying for are in His hands and in His heart!  Trust in the Lord's word for you today that everything is going to be okay, and you will enjoy the fruit of living to love!  Don’t let worries and burdens get you down.  Ask God to show you His panoramic perspective of what He is doing in your life and the lives of those you love right now!

“Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed,” says the Lord, who has compassion on you. ~Isaiah 54:10 (NIV)
