“Not for a minute was I forsaken the Lord is in this place.” 🎶 🎼 🎵
As we sang these words at church this morning couldn’t help but be filled with gratitude.
I was reminded that “strangely” enough with all my “losses” I’ve never felt forsaken. In the darkest moments of my life I supernaturally knew that I never walked alone…
Today I don’t look like the tragedies of my past. I don’t look like the pain of the past. I don’t look like the scarcity of the past. I don’t look like an orphan! I am supernaturally whole… most times I feel like I’ve never been scarred until a friend or family member reminds me. They mean well… I know! He restores in ways unimaginable. Instead I’m filled with hope that my future is very bright…
Reminded me of the words of David: “Yeah though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil for I know You are with me. Thy rod and thy staff comfort me.” Truly we are never consumed.
“But now, GOD ’s Message, the God who made you in the first place, Jacob, the One who got you started, Israel: “Don’t be afraid, I’ve redeemed you. I’ve called your name. You’re mine. When you’re in over your head, I’ll be there with you. When you’re in rough waters, you will not go down. When you’re between a rock and a hard place, it won’t be a dead end— Because I am GOD, your personal God, The Holy of Israel, your Savior. I paid a huge price for you: all of Egypt, with rich Cush and Seba thrown in! That’s how much you mean to me! That’s how much I love you! I’d sell off the whole world to get you back, trade the creation just for you.” Isaiah 43:1-4 MSG
I’m already thinking of 2020 and I have courage and confidence to walk in it. I know the God of my past is the God of my present and future. No matter what it holds I have confidence that He who holds my future has gone before me and leveled the crooked paths.
Even if it happens that there is fire in 2020 I know that I will not be consumed. I know that He walks with me. I know that in moments of confusion I will hear a voice from within saying: “this is the way walk in it.” I’m not afraid of the cross roads that lie ahead. I’m not afraid of the decisions I’m going to have to make in 2020. He never leaves me nor forsakes me. But by His I know that through the Holy Spirit He will give me power to do what ever He says.
I remember the wedding of Canna, when they were out of wine Marry pleads with Jesus to help and then says to the wedding organizers: “Whatever he tells you to do, do it!” And at His command there was better wine than ever been served at that wedding.
So I’m expectant and excited even if I get to moments that look like scarcity and I can’t even ask for myself God has already set Marry’s in my path who will intercede on my behalf and in no time I will have power to hear Him and do whatever He tells me to do. I know that in 2020 through my ministry, through the work of my hands, in my friendships and in my family the sweetest wine will be served to those I serve, work with, do life with. 2020 is going to be filled with breakthrough after breakthrough. Not only for me but all those whose lives I will touch. In Jesus Name Amen… Because Jesus is with me whereever I go. #happysunday😘
