Have you ever heard the statement “It’s time”? Well, the Prophet Isaiah declares “It’s time” for you to arise. Yes, It’s time to arise from the place where circumstances have kept you. It’s time to arise and reject the lies of the enemy. It’s time to arise to a new life and mindset; one where you shine brightly and the glory of the Lord radiates from your life and actions. It’s time because the glory of the Lord has risen upon you! Isaiah 60:1 (AMPL) Arise [from the depression and prostration in which circumstances have kept you—rise to a new life]! Shine (be radiant with the glory of the Lord), for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you! Come on, you have His Word. You have His Spirit. You are a new creation. Why settle for the depression, the loss, the futility and the circumstances of the past? Your opportunity is here, right now. You now have the mic. You have the podium. God has declared: “It’s time.” Will you answer the call?
He listens and delivers!
There are times in our lives where we don’t have any answers or response to challenges and problems that come before us. King David had many huge issues, challenges and problems as a king. It was during these times that he would cry out to God for insight and wisdom. Psalm 119:169 (NET) says: “Listen to my cry for help, O Lord! Give me insight by your word!” He trusted God in the most difficult of circumstances, whether it was a giant that he had to face, or when his own team wanted to stone him. He always went to God in worship and prayer. God always responded to him, whether it was through His word, or through a prophet, God was faithful to give him the insight or strategy he needed at that moment. You might be in a similar situation right now. Most would just allow stress, worry, fear and anxiety to overtake them. But God reminds you today that He is with you, and strategy and wisdom are on their way. He has listened to your cry and prayers, and He will give you the insight and strategy you need.
Psalm 81:7 “You called in trouble, and I delivered you; I answered you in the secret place of thunder”
