A New Life Season
I am starting a new life season today, one that I am not comfortable with. This scripture helps me to substitute my feelings that I can’t handle this difficult challenge with the truth, that I don’t have to muster up the strength to face it, I have that strength within me, I have the Holy Spirit Who can and will strengthen me deep within my inner spiritual core. Jesus is the strength in my human weakness. I know He understands this challenge I face and I know He has positioned me purposefully in the middle of this situation.
“Sometimes when we ask, we do not get the specific thing we want. But we always get the offer of peace. God always extends to us the thing that transcends what we experience and what we ask for – relationship with Him. Therein is where we find peace. God’s peace transcends circumstances. Meaning, whether you get what you ask for or not does not matter as much as your willingness to trust God. Because asking Him is an act of trust, it is a gateway to peace that transcends circumstances.” Yellow Balloons
Stretched From Head To Heart
I know God has left me in this undesired situation to stretch my faith, to teach me the joy of growing through and knowing that He is the ALL in my everything. You see, I know that in my head, I know God is faithful, God is trustworthy, but I am learning it up close and personal through this season of stretching of my faith. I know without a doubt, I will know how to navigate an uncomfortable place, as I know that in growing through, this faith needed is in my head and will travel to my heart and change my feelings. God is working something from my head to my heart. It is not comfortable for me as I am facing a human weakness, knowing I can’t will power my way through and be a success. But God, He is not all about my human comfort zone, He is all about shaping me into the person He envisions me to be. This scripture is the first navigator given me for the Great God adventure ahead.
“For the word of God is living and effective and sharper than any double-edged sword, penetrating as far as the separation of soul and spirit, joints and marrow. It is able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart. No creature is hidden from him, but all things are naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give an account. Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens — Jesus the Son of God — let us hold fast to our confession. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who has been tempted in every way as we are, yet without sin. Therefore, let us approach the throne of grace with boldness, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in time of need.” Hebrews 4:12-16 CSB
