https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ZK-trBcjSwg There are a lot of things I do not know but this one thing I do ♥️ Giants in the land? Harness the spirit of Joshua and Caleb.... we can take em! Whatever giant you are facing... focus on Your Fathers presence. He’s got you! And we got this! What are your spiritual markers? Abraham often physically revisited the areas where God met him in his greatest need and it was usually after a moment where he had gotten off track a bit. Call to mind the instances of His faithfulness. Focus on His nature.... It never changes, nor does He ever fail us. It might ‘feel’ like it sometimes but we do not see clearly from this side of the veil. He is weaving a tapestry. The story of your life.... it’s beautiful, and the truest beauty is how every winding tendril of thread leads you closer to Him. From our side... all we see are the knots and a hazy image. Occasionally tears obscure our vision of even the knots but take heart, the tears He places in a bottle and the day of reckoning and restoration will come. Our understanding will be complete in that day and I can’t fathom the depths of our joy then. But until then, let’s hear Paul on the matter. Whatsoever things be true, honest, just, pure, lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise.... think on these things. While we are yet here, there is still good because we carry that good within us through Christ with the in-dwelling of the very spirit and breath of God. It is for the sake of that hope that we press forward, trusting that these ‘knots’ are being woven sweetly and with the expertise of a true Master. Tell my story Lord. Delight in the best moments with me. Store my tears, in your hands they are safe. With you by my side, I can do all things. For you strengthen me. In the garden of my heart flows a clear spring of living water. Thank you for keeping my center safe and strong. Where has He met you lately? Isn’t it just the craziest thing... how joy and grief coexist, but in our Fathers hands they merge and become something else entirely? Let Him show you in your heart those moments you were closest to Him, when your steps were in harmony with His own. And how he grieved when yer steps led you away from Him. I am my beloveds and my beloved is mine. This season in my life is bittersweet, but I’m cherishing every moment of it. I’m in good company... Joshua, Caleb, Abraham, joseph, Daniel, the three gents in the furnace, the disciples, our Jesus, alex, Pat and Lisa, Katie, Janet, Lesley, dean, Jerrad, amber, Jess, christin, Elise, Scott, better fam..... we got this! (Psst if I didn’t name someone it’s because I realize I’m very verbose and y’all knew where I was headed lol)
