You know those times when you feel like the enemy is attacking you? You get down, really down, and begin to question God? I'd like to say that my moment yesterday was only a brief moment but it lasted a good part of the day and evening. I woke up this morning knowing that the enemy had attacked me with doubts. The morning began with a grandson making noises in the living room. They had come over at 1am to sleep since they have no air and their house was 90 degrees. The morning continued with a closed door for what we thought was a possible ministry, another closed door for something else and a husband who can see God's hand in it all.
We went for a walk and returned to a phone message from someone we met only briefly with a scripture for us to read. It was so encouraging. God is awesome how he raises up people when we need it. Lord, help me hold on to your promises, even when our eyes don't see the next step. God told Joshua on numerous occasions to "be strong and courageous", that he would be with him wherever he goes. Raise up your Spirit within me. Help me/us to walk in your will with confidence. Show us the way to go.

The day we got the news of that "closed door", I was reading in Psalm 112 and thought of you guys:
ReplyDelete"For the righteous will never be moved;
he will be remembered forever.
He is not afraid of bad news;
his heart is firm, trusting in the Lord.
His heart is steady; he will not be afraid,
until he looks in triumph on his enemies."
You will be looking in triumph on that enemy, sis.
Love ya.
