Reflections

Amazing changes have been happening to help me see the faithfulness of our Lord. I hope for a faith that is like my precious savior and though I will fall short, I'll keep praying for this. Lamentations 3:22- 24 encourages us with this The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases, his mercies never come to an end, they are new every morning great is your faithfulness. 'The Lord is my portion' says my soul therefore I will hope in Him." The following verse gives us a reminder of his unending promises kept.. saying The Lord is good to those who wait for him to the soul who seeks him.
So his faithfulness is evident. I was not seeking him, though this entire time he'd been there for me. My heart having been embittered by many things these past few weeks, the veil now lifting and the realization is that I have not been trusting in his constant faithfulness. How could I not? When every moment of every day he shows me that he's there. The horrible sin of worry has been permeating my heart and now I've lain it to bed. Worrying is a horrible thing and I was reading in the Shadow of the Almighty-- Elisabeth Elliot quoted Corrie Ten Boom-- on worry-- "Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow, it empties today of its strength. It is the interest you pay on trouble before it comes." and God says it best in Matthew 6:25-34. Worry robs us of the joy we should be enjoying.. because despite the hardships of today...he has already given us the best of our waking day--His grace.His love. Our salvation.

In my devos I was blessed the last couple of days to be reminded that our God is sustaining us.
