From the Lord comes our strength! That is where I am looking for
it. I rejoice because I am forgiven and the Lord has given me
renewed strength. He is healing my heart and creating in me
something new. He is using this experience to root out the sin in my
life. He is to be my eternal focus, my daily focus, and that which I
gain my self worth. Yes I desire to be married and in a
relationship. But that needs to be secondary to me seeking him first
and foremost. He is my rock and my salvation, he is gives me renewed
strength every day, Grace every day, Love and forgiveness beyond
anything I ever deserve. For from him and to him and through him are
all things. he takes evil and turns it inside out for his glory
alone. One message that hit home and encouraged me last night was II
Cor. 1:10-11. God is glorified in the answering of our prayers.
Paul is encouraged and has faith in the answers of prayers that have
not yet been said. What untapped power we have in the Glory of the
Lord! Elijah called fire down, cleansing fire that burned up flesh,
wood, stone, and water... a symbol of redemption... all mediated by a
prayer by a man who believed. He believed in a promise that God
made. We have so many promises in the Bible that we can pray with
confidence. AMAZING!
I am realizing more and more every day how important it is to rub and
work the message of the Gospel into your life. As humans we
naturally reject it. But we absolutely crave it, without knowing
it. Our sin, is just a manifestation of us replacing the gospel
message with something else.
