For three weeks now I have been so anxious. Wednesday I literally spent eight hours in the word and with fellow believers, but my heart was still raging with fear! I just cried out God why won’t you help me?! Pull me out of this sin and into your peace!
I read Deuteronomy today. God kept appearing to his people as fire so I journaled about fires for an hour or so. I imagined the light of the world Jesus Christ dying on a wooden cross, light hitting wood and creating this ultimate fire, ultimate love.
One of the girls I disciple is having a trial in court this week for domestic violence. We have been praying that God would give her strength and courage during this horrible time.
I texted the girls the passage I wanted us to read this week, Romans 8. We’ve been going through Genesis so I didn’t know why Romans was really heavy on my heart. Then my sister on trial said that while she was waiting in court today her Bible app featured Romans 8 and she had already been reading through it! AMAZING! God was answering our prayers before our eyes! He was comforting his daughter with these specific words he has spoken AND he wanted her support group to be listening and walking with her!
Then it hit me. I was already so amazed when I realized what I had studied earlier today. “God is an all consuming fire” Deuteronomy 4:24. The reason my sister in Christ is on trial is because she was literally pushed into a campfire. She has healed from third degree burns all over her body.
Our group text broke out in rejoicing and adoration!
Earthly fire that consumed her flesh coward in comparison to the all consuming fire who has used her horror story to build her soul and the souls of the church!
I am finally so at peace! He answered my cry for my sister and my cry for my heart! He has again and again restored my faith even when I doubt Him and He does it abundantly with joy!
