SIN O YOLO MKILE promise
AT THE BEGINNING OF 2021, A CERTAIN UNFAMILIAR SCRIPTURE CAUGHT MY EYE, BUT AS I READ IT REPEATEDLY, IT SPOKE VOLUMES TO ME. Isaiah 40:8 reads: “The grass withers and the flowers fade, but the word of our God stands forever.” At first, I guess the logical side of me thought it referred to nature literally. But as I read commentary regarding this piece of scripture, I learnt that creation in this context means us, the human beings He made. A sudden thought popped into my spirit, “Sino, you, and others, tend to being fickle at times.” Be it shown in my doubt or the words that I speak that are contrary to what I have read in His Word and what I have heard Him tell me in my private moments with Him. Upon realising this, a typical reaction based on human nature would be to say, “Oh well, if that is the case, then this ‘waiting on God and seeing His word come to fruition in my life’ thing won’t work because I am inconsistent - right?” Actually, that would be wrong because of who God is. Not a boxed-in version of Him, but God in His entirety: His nature and His character. We as His children can rely on our constantly consistent Father, as He has been known to be through the ages and will be known for eternity.
