Isa 55
6 Seek the LORD while He may be found,
Call upon Him while He is near.8 “ For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways My ways,” says the LORD.
9 “ For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are My ways higher than your ways,
And My thoughts than your thoughts.10 “ For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven,
And do not return there,
But water the earth,
And make it bring forth and bud,
That it may give seed to the sower
And bread to the eater,
11 So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth;
It shall not return to Me void,
But it shall accomplish what I please,
And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.Thank You Lord for Your grace. Not one day goes by without me needing You in my life. Inevitably sin against God and men. Thank You for Your Word.
How then do I trust the Lord? By trusting His Word.
As surely as night meets the day, and day meets the night... He will bring to pass the promises He made. No word returns void.
Romans 8:28 - All things work together for good to those who love Him.
Not everything will be good. Some will be, others will be bad. A spice by itself tastes bitter, but when blended together it produces good curry. It's hard to believe in the good when things are not doing great. When we do not understand why the bitter is there, but we can trust that God allowed it to be there to produce good.
Read the Word, Pray, live righteously with integrity.
There's no need to live up to the expectations of others, build a strong foundation so that when the time is right, God gives and you will be ready to handle it. Otherwise you will be stressed about performing.
Seek the approval of God, not men. Find validation in God, not men. Let the steps be ordained by God, not men.
Be strong and courageous. More than ever, be strong and courageous.
If that be Your will, grant me the peace that surpasses all understanding to embrace it, that I may abide in You.
More than I could hope or imagine, according to Your power that works in me. Not my own but Yours O God.
Back to the roots. Remembering how it was, who I was. It is as though a time lapse occurred. Can the two come together?
Thank You for preserving my life, after what happened today. Thank You for giving me a chance to live. That I can still breathe. To be able to wake up breathing, is a blessing.. every single day.
A time for everything. In Your time, Lord.
Make things beautiful in Your time.
It is tough. But I guess it is time.
