Remembering God

(Jonah 2:7)

Remembering God. It may sound unrealistic, but many times in our greatest hour of need, we tend to forget God. Many times we are tired of praying. Many times we have given up on Him answering. Often we are so wrapped up in solving our problems our way, we forget it is God who can help us. If nothing else, let this word today be a reminder to you to remember God, especially in your time of greatest need. Often times we back ourselves into corners, and when things aren't working out, we lose sight that we are to be serving the Lord, working for Him, and it is to be on His terms and under His plan. When we get ahead of God or forget Him altogether, we often fail. When it is in His time, on His terms, under His plan, we can never fail.

I could go into a long drawn out message today, but the Holy Spirit has impressed upon me that you are very busy, and I try to respect your time. Today, there simply is very little more to add than that God is there. He has never left you, though you may have left Him. He is waiting for you to call on Him. Jonah in the belly of the whale finally realized there was only one place to turn. Don't wait until you are in the belly of the whale. Call to God today and let Him walk with you, help you, give you what you need to overcome. Remember God today. In your busy life, remember if it is on His terms, His way, it will ALWAYS work out, because God CANNOT AND WILL NOT FAIL.
