Singing
When darkness seems to veil his face.
I rest on his unchanging grace.
In every high and stormy gale,
My anchor holds within the veil.
On Christ the solid rock I stand.
All other ground is sinking sand,
All other ground is sinking sand.
Yahweh. Truthfully, at this moment everything seems to be hidden. You, your promises, all seem to be covered in darkness. There is nothing that I can do to dispel the darkness. Yahweh, my hope is in you. I am choosing to trust you that though I sit in darkness, you will be my light.
Micah 7:7-8 – I will look to the Lord. I will wait for God to save me. I will wait for my God to listen to me. Don’t laugh at me, my enemies. Although I’ve fallen, I will get up. Although I sit in the dark, the Lord is my light.
–
Psalm 27:1 – The Lord is my light and my salvation. Who is there to fear? The Lord is my life’s fortress. Who is there to be afraid of?
Singing
The Lord is my light, then why should I fear?
By day and by night his presence is near;
He is my salvation from sorrow and sin.
This blessed persuasion, the Spirit brings in.
Yahweh, what do I do? Sometimes I do question if I heard right or interpreted wrong. Because so many of these promises seem impossible. The ministry seems to be the only one that doesn’t seem impossible. I have no clue how the house will be built. I can’t even see my way out of debt though I am trying. I don’t even see the guy.
WITH YOU ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE.
IMPOSSIBLE IS EASY FOR YOU.
Matthew 19:26 – Jesus looked at them and said, “It is impossible for people to save themselves, but everything is possible for God.”
Whole of Matthew 19
It is not for me to do. I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength except save myself. Thank you for your promises, for your word in my life. Your life?
So… I believe every word you say. The scripture “with you all things are possible” came to mind and I looked for where it is taken from, however (and I am believing it is your Spirit that prompted that), instead of just going to the chapter and verse, I went to the chapter and started reading.
First up: Divorce and celibacy. As in what you have joined together, no one is to separate and that only those with the gift of celibacy should be celibate. And then I remembered Ms. Rob from yesterday and her child at 45. Kinda smiled to myself because I kinda thought that probably about how old I will be. Then the next scripture to come up is, “Don’t stop the children from coming to you.”
Then the actual scripture, “It is impossible for people to save themselves, but everything is possible for you.” The thing is, the story of the rich, young ruler was the basis of a sermon I was listening to on Monday.
Then Peter asks, “We’ve given up everything to follow you. What will we get out of it?” (Btw, I like Peter. He says and asks the things no else does, but wants to).
And you said, “Anyone who gives up for you will receive a hundred times more AND eternal life.”
Yahweh, I truly don’t want one thing to separate me from you. Not even your promises and not my desires. I surrender them all to you. Yes, I will keep my hope in you, but not above you. I cannot save myself. You are in control. You are my God and my king. And I will wait on you. Thank you for loving me and though things seem impossible for me to save myself. All things are possible for you. Thank you for you. I love you.
Thank you. I will keep the faith. Your faith.
Saw a book on when you need a miracle: 7 Secrets of Faith. So downloaded it.
