Shaking
In the midst of the shaking that is taking place, we want to be found in the safe place of God’s presence. His promises still are true. He’s not a man that He would lie. Now is the time to be faith filled not fear filled.
We all need His wisdom as we learn how to navigate through the days, weeks, and months ahead. He says in James 1:5 that if we lack wisdom we can ask Him for it, and He will generously give it to us. As finances for some are depleting, don’t try to figure it out. You can’t make wise decisions when fear is giving the marching orders. I believe what Proverbs 3:5-7 says:
“Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths. Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the LORD and depart from evil.”
God is calling us to Himself. He is not inviting us to fear our circumstances but to fear Him. He will direct our path as we trust Him and ask Him for wisdom. He’s pouring out His answers. He’s giving us dreams in the night hours. He’s revealing His faithfulness to those who will believe. He’s releasing creativity for connection to those who are lonely. Social distancing isn’t really social distancing, it’s more like physical distancing. You can remain connected through different forms of social media, the phone, zoom meetings, FaceTime. God will give you peace.
And hear this: I believe our latter state will be greater than our former! As you look into the unknown, speak this scripture in your heart and listen to what God says to you:
“You who fear the LORD, trust in the LORD; He is their help and their shield. The LORD has been mindful of us; He will bless us; He will bless the house of Israel; He will bless the house of Aaron. He will bless those who fear the LORD, Both small and great. May the LORD give you increase more and more, You and your children. May you be blessed by the LORD, Who made heaven and earth. The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD’s; But the earth He has given to the children of men.”
Psalms 115:11-16 NKJV
What are you doing to stay in faith? What are you doing to hear His voice of wisdom? Write about it.
You are loved!!!
