Hold Your Horses

July 20, 2022

After anointing you’re truly raring to go, but guess what? You have to hold your horses. Rein in the excitement. I’m here trying to hold myself back. I’m expecting that when I woke up miracles would be falling all around me like the rain yesterday. But I have to hold strain and remember Yahweh’s timing and not mine. His will, not mine.

1 Peter 1:6-8 – You are extremely happy about these things, even though you have to suffer different kinds of trouble for a little while now.  The purpose of these troubles is to test your faith as fire tests how genuine gold is. Your faith is more precious than gold, and by passing the test, it gives praise, glory, and honor to God. This will happen when Jesus Christ appears again. Although you have never seen Christ, you love him. You don’t see him now, but you believe in him. You are extremely happy with joy and praise that can hardly be expressed in words

So I will rejoice and be glad. 

CONFESSION: And I recognise the irony of what I’m about to say in reference to me rejoicing and being glad. Sometimes it saddens me that I will be perpetually hungry for the rest of my life in order to lose weight and subsequently maintain the weight loss. I eat foods with a lot of fibre, lots of veggies etc, but the truth is, I still feel hungry 85% of the time. I’ve just learned to ignore it for the last two years. No lie, I honestly feel like this is my thorn. Been thinking that for a while now. So gonna emulate Paul and trust that in my weakness, you are strong. 

Sigh. When you know you’ve read a scripture but can’t find it anywhere! 

Found it!! 

Psalm 94:9 – God created ears. Do you think he can’t hear? He formed eyes. Do you think he can’t see?
