As I was sitting in church last night.. the LORD was speaking to me.. I don't think it had anything to do with what was going on that I know but of course so much more is going on then we can see.. and everything seems to be connected in some way..
We were singing a song.. and it came to me.. that many do not receive.. because they give up before the LORD works it all out.. HE is faithful to keep HIS promises.. but we give up.. Time, circumstances.. what we see etc.. erodes away our hope till we think it must not be GODS will or desire for us..
For me, myself.. It is healing that I have been praying about.. for myself.. also prayer for a loved one.. someone very special to me to know JESUS.. and the latter has been for a very long time.. or so it seems..
But as I sat there.. I realised that if God said certain things in HIS word that spoke to me about such.. He was going to do what HE said.. no matter what I saw, heard or felt..
That is absolute truth..
And actually it was the circumstances that were lying to me.. all I had to do was remain faithful to believe and seek the LORD on these things.. stand firm and let nothing move me and because I had asked.. I would receive..
WOW amazing.. What astounds me most of all.. is that this just came to me like that.. I wasn't pondering it.. wasn't reading scriptures.. wasn't being particularly holy etc.. but God was there.. reminding me.. of who HE is.. that HE will never fail.. and I can take hold of that and stand firm as is needed.. and let not my situations move me so that I give up!!
Praise the LORD!!
