Get moving!!
Isaiah 58:11-12
The Lord will guide you continually, And satisfy your soul in drought, And strengthen your bones; you shall be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail.
Those from among you shall build the old waste places; You shall raise up the foundations of many generations;
I was thinking of this verse this past week and remembering both times it was given to me. Both times were critical times in my life and both times, I needed to hear a word and although maybe at that specific time, I didn't know what they meant, I knew the Lord was giving me a word to stand on.
I know we are in days now where is it sometimes so difficult to find a church that preaches truth anymore, or to be felt "just accepted."
I just want to take a moment to encourage you...the Lord is near to those who call on Him...and we just need to get into the prayer closet and seek His face...
I was remembering when I first came to know the Lord and how it was...it wasn't easy...I would try and read the word and yes, many times I had no idea what it was sayin, but press in!
those who seek Him with all their heart will find Him....I would pray in the car, in the shower, anywhere....and just talk with Him.
One thing I would like to say ...there is no right way or wrong way on how we pray....we can just talk to the father, whatever is on the heart, talk to Him....He already knows what there but it's faith that please Him...
I know in my beginning...it was " Father, I don't know what to say and I don't understand everything but lead me Lord, I want to follow you...forgive me for all that I've done and don't leave me the same..."
pressing in everyday and readin what I could, He was faithful, and He would always show up. His sweet presence would fill the room and most often times, I would just weep.....His presence so amazing and wonderful....I loved Him so much cause He first loved me, He loved me no matter what I had done and all I needed to do was repent. He loved me so much, so much to not leave me the same....I was miserable in my state that I was in, I was horrible!
But now I was readin the word and it was beginning to renew my mind, I was this wonderful new creation and it was powerful. I had a new life in Christ and so do you....His word is truly a lamp unto our feet....I was changin and others were witnessing this, and thats whats amazing about it all.
When we lift up His name He will draw all men unto Him. He will feed with the word and lead us into all truth. Hang on and endure....thou there be a famine in the Land, the Lord will sustain you...enter in His rest and meditate on His word....
Read some of the old testaments and know that the stories of adversity and trials we also will endure. But like the old, we have the Holy Spirit that will empower us from on high to endure. We are filled with His power and with each trial, our faith will increase and you will see growth! and the former things of this world that used to captivate you will not captivate you no more! taste the Word and see how good it is, pray for wisdom and love the Lord with all your heart. He sees us exactly where you are and has delivered His word for this time to encourage and edify, Hallelujah!! cause He cares for you and for me....
well until next time, continue to sing and worship the Lord with all your heart and all your soul!!!
