I'm sitting here on a Sunday night, the beginning of a week of uncertainty. There is more than one area of my life that seems to be shifting. I have been in a sort of holding cell for almost three years, but for nearly seven months, life was pretty quiet. One thing we know for sure is nothing ever stays the same. So, I would say the past five months have been a season of getting repositioned. Feelings that were dormant have been awakened, things that were gratifying no longer satisfy, certainties have now become uncertain and some even obsolete.
Tonight, I sort of feel like an oxymoron. While there is uncertainty which should be unsettling, I feel almost excited that things seem to be about to change. My dear friend offered this word (from Joyce Meyer) today, "When God leads us out of a situation, He always takes us into something better." She added, "Be encouraged, fret not and know that God is in control!"
In our Faith Walk, our spiritual lives, it is well known that you absolutely cannot walk by feelings. It is, however, imperative to walk by faith, to walk by what you know to be true.
I feel...unnerved ---> I know... "You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in You..." Isaiah 26:3
I feel...fearful ---> I know... "God has not given us the spirit of fear..." 2 Timothy 1:7
I feel...weary ---> I know... "So let’s not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time, we will
reap a harvest of blessing if we do not give up." Galations 6:9
And I know, that I know, that I know...God is faithful! He has never failed me, not one time, not ever.
Isaiah 43:2 "When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty,
you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you.
