Dear Heartstrings family,

Thank you for coming along with me today. I have not been on social media for some time due to family priorities. The Lord is always faithful and true to guide us along the journey. I have found no other friend to help in these times of trial and sorrow. His Spirit rises in my heart to bring what is precious and apply it to my personal story. He also removes the waste of wanting stuff and things of this world. My hope is in Jesus Christ.

Deuteronomy 4:30-31 says, "When you are in tribulation and all these things come upon you, in the latter days you will turn to the Lord your God and be obedient to His voice. ~ For the Lord your God is a merciful God; He will not fail you or destroy you or forget the covenant of your fathers, which He swore to them."

Deuteronomy 5:29 says, "Oh, that they had such a [mind and] heart inthem always [reverently] to fear Me and keep all My commandments, that it might go well  with them and with their children forever!"

Does God desire to bless us with His goodness? Absolutely! At no other time in my life do I know this more than I do now. What He says, He will do. Only I am watchful for it and give my life as worship to God will I draw from the well of Living Waters through Jesus my Lord.

In Joshua 3:4 we see the following of the Ark of the Covenant..."that you may [be able to see the Ark and] know the way you must go, for you have not passed this way before."

My thoughts. I must trust the Word of God and believe, rely on and adhere to each precious part. The commandments of the Lord were given to keep us safe and well. The Ark was to go before the people of God as a standard. To keep their eyes on and remember where they came from and how God would deliver them to the place of His promise. That is God's desire. His heart longs for a people who will abide with Him and let His words abide in them.

Now, because of Jesus, His Son and gift to us we are to do the same. Listen and heed Jesus words, to give us life eternal and to desire fellowship with Him. To know the things in the heart of the Lord for us. If only we will keep our eyes on Him, our Ark, and know the Way, the Truth and the Life. We may say, "We have not passed this way before." Trust and obey, do not fear.

Psalm 143:8 says, "Cause me to hear Thy lovingkindness in the morning; for in Thee do I trust; cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto Thee."

Pray with me? Heavenly Father, You alone are worthy of praise. I give You my life and believe in Your Only Son Jesus. Fill me with Your Spirit and cause my thoughts to be agreeable to Your will. Take all the concerns of my heart and fine tune me as Your servant to bring a song that will honor You. As You forgive me of my sins, help me to forgive the ones who have hurt me, past and present. Make me a vessel of honor for Your glory. In the matchless name of Jesus, amen.

Thank you for stopping by today. We will pray for each other and keep our eyes fixed on Jesus Christ, our blessed hope. Amen.

Abundance is...time in His presence
