This was a post from 4 years ago but it’s so relevant to things that are happening to so many today. It was a gentle reminder that my God has not failed me and He won’t start now.
This weekend was simply a reminder of my purpose, my passion, my calling. I am waiting for the open doors that God has for me.
Yet the past months I have been in probably one of the hardest storms in my life as I prepared to teach others to dance in the rain, I was learning myself .
Over the past months I have had days of doubt and fear. I have worried. I have had sleeplessness. I have let my joy be zapped. I have let my circumstances define my emotions. I was letting fear rule over faith. Then the Lord spoke to me and said are you about done. I said what do you mean? Very clearly He said you always try to fix things, you always got to figure things out, how about this time you let me be in control and trust me? I said God, I do trust you, I have faith that you answer when I pray. Very clearly He said for others and for your children, yes your faith never wavers, yet when it comes to what you need you leave it and then pick it up. Thinking it’s your job to figure it out. I begin to let the tears roll down my face. (Salty discharge from my eyes is not my thing) For the first time in months peace overcame me and I knew God was in control. Has my situation changed nope but my hope has been renewed. The same God who set me free and reached down and pulled me out of the pits of hell, knows my need and has my answer. He has not ever failed me and He isn’t about to now. What are you facing today? Let me stand in prayer with you. There isn’t anything too hard for my God. He is the same God that parted the Red Sea, the same God in the fiery furnace, the God that shut the mouth of the Lion, the God who provided a redeemer, the one who raised Jesus from the dead, healed a woman with an issue of blood, changed Saul to Paul, and poured out his spirit on Pentecost. He has not changed. He wants to pour His Spirit on us. He wants believers to have faith to believe in Miracles. Believe today.
