Heartstrings family,
It has been while hasn't it? Well, I just want to share a couple of things. As you know our world is breaking apart so fast and in every area we could possible think of. It seems not so far across the planet anymore is it? It is right here in our own back yard!
The bible tells us not to be afraid; not to fret. God wants us to remain in His arms of love and not be smashed, or bruised by the evil one. He wants to sustain us. If only we would call on His name and find what we truly need. Desire what He desires. Want Jesus for relationship, not just to get what we want thinking our plans are better.
My emotions do not have to be blindsided. My attitudes do not have to be stinky. My mind does not have to be in a state of confusion. What I am learning is to put the Word of God before every thing that concerns me. Search out what the Lord says. It is all there.
He is Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace, Lord of all! Do I really need to search any further? No. That only leads to disappointment, another tool of the enemy. Loneliness, another tool of the enemy. Fretting, another tool of the enemy.
So, you say, but look around you girl! Don't you see what is going on? Where is God now?
My answer is...God is still on His throne. He is always present, all powerful, all knowing. He is the answer! Now, only to trust Him and take Him at His word. See, He will sustain us!
Psalm 55 tells me that God hears my prayers. He will answer. And, when I need help He is with me. It does not matter what others say about me. My fellowship with God is sweet.
I like David's honesty. He says in verse 16 thru 17...As for me, I shall call upon God, and the Lord will save me. Evening and morning and at noon, I will complain and murmur and He will hear my voice. He will redeem my soul in peace from the battle which is against me".
Then finally in verse 22..."Cast your burden upon the Lord, and He will sustain you; He will never allow the righteous to be shaken."
Praise the name of the Lord! When the wind blows the tree is shaken isn't it? Do you feel this way today? Be encouraged in God's Love letter to you today. In fact, everyday! He is the only way I get through it all. I will trust Him and believe what He says, and then, I will know peace. Will you?
Abundance is...in the matchless name of Jesus
