There was a day- not so many days ago- when I was wavering. I felt that God had left me to linger. I literally said out loud that I felt I was sitting in the devils lap. It was VERY uncomfortable. I do not ever plan to return to that place.
The next day, new good things began to happen. I am saying it out loud that those things were not a result of my 'day with the devil' but despite it.
The Lord truly does work in mysterious ways. When I am feeling 'left to linger' I need to remember that God's timing is divine. And unknown to me.
Patience had never been a well practiced intention of mine. And I have now intended to master it with the Lord as my guide.
Heavenly Father, Oh, that you would bless us indeed.
Continue to increase our territory!
That your hand would be with us!
And that you would keep us from ALL evil. Amen.

Shel-What a blessed encouragement your recent posts have been--thank you!
ReplyDeleteA friend shared this prayer with me: "Father, help us today to maintain our promise of faithfulness to you, even in times when we're not surrounded by people who agree with us and encourage and understand devotion to you. Give us a great courage as we face the challenges of each new day."
AMEN to yours and hers!
