Payback time!
Isaiah 65:21-23 CSB
People will build houses and live in them; they will plant vineyards and eat their fruit. They will not build and others live in them; they will not plant and others eat. For my people’s lives will be like the lifetime of a tree. My chosen ones will fully enjoy the work of their hands. They will not labor without success or bear children destined for disaster, for they will be a people blessed by the Lord along with their descendants.
Payback time!
Back in high school there were so many small clubs the nerds, the cool, the this, the that, and each club and it's label was associated with some sort of benefits or the opposite.
Then you graduate and life also labels you, educated, uneducated, married, single, parent or not and again the benefits and the opposite.
It seems as though labels run the show but that is not true , we run the show and benefits are associated to where we stand on this show, on God's side or ...the opposite, on God's side,you will work hard, will encounter hardship and setbacks but will have God's help and ultimately as the above scripture says, you'll be blessed, you'll have success, even if you suffer, encounter predicament and unfortunate circumstances, you'll still encounter success and blessings because that's the benefits of being in God's club, Jesus followers benefit from God's blessings this scripture teaches us that we will not work in vain, and will not hope in vain soon or later we will be rewarded for our hardship, patience, perseverance ,efforts and handwork.
If you're not on God's side, than you're getting the opposite.
When I wasn't on God's side I remember how hard life was, and on top of it, it was one failure after the next, once I joined the club , although I still dealt with setbacks, I have more courage to confront challenges, more tools, more wisdom, more support , more help, more motivation, more strength and power, more encouragement.
Angels saved me and guided me countless times, God sent me all the help I needed for this challenging adventure called life, it made my hard time more bearable as I was not alone anymore.
I had help to overcome and the outcome was always success.
Life with God is not a promise of a trouble free life, it is rather a promise that all troubles will have solutions and that you will come out with a victory one way or the other, God will use your troubles to build a life of victory for you, all at some point in your life, will make sense and have purpose, no pain will be in vain.
For this reason get your payback this year, if last year was bad, shift it by joining God's club today, and than enjoy the benefits that come with it trust me life will never be perfect but you can still have perfect peace and great outcomes with a Perfect God whom loves the imperfect people we are.
