It’s quite amazing the way God decideds to speak with you. We met in teams last evening and our team leader Kristen had prayed for each of us over that last week or so. She came with words for each of us. Below is what she felt as though God wanted her to share with me. For those who know me well, the power and providential nature of this becomes quite clear. For those who don’t know me quite as well my previous blog “The Sprint is Over…” may give you some insight. Either way I though I would share how God has started speaking to me and let me know that this is where he wants me to be right now… It will give some of you insight into what direction to pray right now as well.
In addition to what she shared below, she also let me know that God wanted to put a restfulness in me… I look forward to a peaceful confidence in God. Enjoy reading below…
Rescued and Guided
Rest knowing all is so safe in My Hands. Rest in Trust. Ceaseless activity is distrust. Without the knowledge that I am working for you, you do not rest. Inaction then would be the outcome of despair.
Welcome the knowledge, delight in it. Such a truth is as a rope flung to a drowning man. Every repetition of it is one pull nearer shore and safety.
Let that illustration teach you a great truth. Lay hold of the truth, pray it, affirm it, hold on to the rope. How foolish are your attempts to save yourself, one hand on the rope, and one making efforts to swim ashore! You may relinquish your hold of the rope and hinder the rescuer-who has to act with the greater caution lest he lose you.
The storms and tempests are not all of life. The Pslamist who said “All thy waves and thy billows are gone over me” wrote also “He brought me up also out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.”
Meditate upon that wonder-Truth, the three steps safety, security, guidance. (1) “He brought me up also out of a horrible pit”-Safety. (2) ” He set my feet upon a rock”-Security. (3) “He established my goings”-Guidance. No. 3 is the final stage when the saved soul trusts Me so entirely it seeks no more its own way but leaves all future plans to Me its Rescuer. (God Calling, 2002)
Have A Great Day…
