God’s Sifting You
II Corinthians 4:18, “While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.”
Morning! It is going to be a great day, claim it! Though you feel only coffee will get you to the point of survival today, remember there is someone who will be with you every step of the way. The decisions are upon you to make changes to many things in your life. You wonder why you are having struggles in getting to a point of understanding. In this moment, realize God is sifting you, like the threshing machine separates the edible grain of wheat from the useless straw confining it! You are His valuable grain of wheat in which He needs to remove from the bad and negative parts of life! Many times we need His help to move away from the things of this world that hinder us from finding our true calling. God is directing you to a separation from negative influences and to arrive at a revelation. Sometimes He moves quickly, other times He moves in a slower manner, a teaching moment. He works to keep your heart from pain, but knows sometimes we need pain to gain freedom and peace. If you are feeling like you are at a crossroad and looking every way, without closure, pause and pray! God was waiting for you to ask for sifting! The answer is there, so make the choice to turn to the right way! Today allow God to take you to the threshing floor and sift out all the bad and negative; then accept the positive gifts He offers! You can do it!
