Dear Heartstrings family,
Thank you for coming back today. I know I have been away for awhile. Things happen and it just wasn't the time to rush in with words just to fill a space. Sometimes it is best to be quiet and listen.
Many years ago when my children were young, finances were tight, and I was not content in my own body, the Lord gave me a song. It was only this morning that those words seeped back into my soul. God is so good and knows the right time to remind us doesn't He?
"When the winds blow hard on the sea of life may I know who I am without worry or strife. To just say 'Hush and be still' in Jesus name and go on from there another victory gained.
A child of the King am I today. A winner, not a looser ever again. With power and authority over Satan's games my life's another victory gained.
When the mountain stands tall above the valleys below, and it seems so far to climb above my every foe. I just look up and to the One Who cares for me and keep climbing to the next victory.
A child of the King am I today. A winner, not a looser ever again. With power and authority over Satan's games my life's another victory gained."
You know there are so many places in God's Love Letter to us that show He is able to bring us into the place of victory. Whether we stumble through the day fearful of what hasn't even happened. Or, we succumb to laziness and believe there is no use for someone like me. Maybe, your situation does seem pretty bleak. But, the only way to climb out of that pit of destruction is to raise your hands up and grab hold of the hands extended to you from above.
Jesus is the only reason I am alive today. There is no One Who can save me from all my sins and keep me safe, heal all my diseases and redeem my life from the pit. All discouragement, despair, weariness, doubt and fear have to go in the name of Jesus Christ. He is Lord!
I read in Psalm 40 today, verse 16-17 these words. "Let all those that seek and require You rejoice and be glad in You; let such as love Your salvation say continually, The Lord be magnified! ~ [As for me] I am poor and needy, yet the Lord takes thought and plans for me. You are my Help and my Deliverer, O my God, do not tarry!"
Teach us Holy Spirit how to worship. We give all our cares into Your care and will trust You to guide us each day. Remind us to drop our burdens at the feet of Jesus. Then help us to look up, no matter how bad the storm or how high the mountain we must climb. Keep our feet from stumbling along the way of God's choosing. In the matchless name of Jesus, amen.
God bless and keep you in His secret place. There remain fixed and stable under the shadow of His wings, and in His power where no foe can stand against us.
