God's Way

A very good morning to you - I greet you in Jesus’ precious name! It is Wednesday morning, it is the 21st of September 2022, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today.

“Is it a small thing for you to weary men, but will you weary my God also?”
Isaiah 7:13

Why is it that we weary our beloved Jesus so much? The Oxford Dictionary defines the word “weary” as causing tiredness or making someone exhausted. Why do we do it? Why do we push Jesus to the very limit with our rebellion, our lack of gratitude and lack of thankfulness? What He has done for us is so great, but we still do it, time and time again. There comes a time in our lives when tough love has to kick in so that we might be saved from ourselves. People have often said to me, “Why is God punishing me? Where is this God of love that you are always speaking about?”. He has never left you, he has never left me. He is still with us. 

“I will never leave you nor forsake you.” 
Hebrews 13:5

We need to make the call. Are we going to allow Him to help us, or not?

Years ago, there was a beautiful movie made called “Ordinary People.” It was made by one of South Africa’s best film-makers, F.C. Hamman and it was financed by Peter Scott. It was a true story about the Mighty Men Movement, a story of three men who changed from doing things their way and started doing things God’s way. The first man was a hijacker! He was going to hijack a bakkie that was bringing two men to the Mighty Men Conference. The two men overwhelmed him, took the revolver from him, handcuffed him to the inside of the bakkie and brought him to the Mighty Men Conference. He got saved and became a preacher after that. Oh, what a mighty God! 

The second man had many family problems. He came here and got saved and he allowed the Lord to change his life. On his way back home he phoned his family and said, “Get the family together. I am coming home. I am a new man.” He had an accident and was killed when he fell off his motorbike, but his family came together.

The third man was a young man who was drinking and partying. His father pleaded with him, “You are making me weary!”. After writing off car after car, he came to the Mighty Men Conference, got saved and his life was transformed.

Let us not weary God anymore today. Let us start doing things His way and start being full of gratitude for what He has done in our lives.

Jesus bless you and have a wonderful day.
Goodbye.
