One of the biggest words in the human language is the two little letter word, “IF”. If can be a big word to anyone with a need, especially when we hear, “I’d help you if”? If only - if only God - if only l - what if? The doctor tells you that your recovery depends upon an if; I'll stand by you if; What if it does work? What if something happens? What if I fail or loose? Will it work if we fast and pray? What if it had not been for the Lord on our side? God; if only you'll do this or that for me..I will serve You all my life.
The word "if" is always surrounded by a question mark. It has its possible side and also the negative side. It can be destructive and also constructive, it can be healthy and also unhealthy. It is a conditional word, it gives a condition that must be fulfilled before a result is seen. Man holds on to the negative IF more. The dictionary defines “if” as the cause or reason or motive for something to happen. “If”, is the word that evokes a response for action.
There are some big ‘ifs’ in the Bible, over 1500 of them. One of the biggest IF in the whole Bible is found in 2 Chronicles 7:14. God says, “IF ye will....then I will.” My Glory will come when people humble themselves and pray. Today, I want you to look at IF from an entirely new perspective. Let’s take our IFS and put them into the realm of what God can do in us, for us and to us.
Further Scripture Study: 1 John 1:7; 1 Sam 1:11; Matt 9:21; John 11:20-21; 2 Corinthians 5:17; Col 3:1
Declare This: Dear Lord, I will use my "ifs" in an healthy and constructive way for my life and to the Glory of Your name in Jesus name Amen.
