Priceless Process

Isaiah 40:31- Yet those who wait for the Lord, will gain new strength; they will mount up with wings like eagles, they will run and not get tired, they will walk and not become weary.

I know like many of you, this verse has been such an inspiration in my life. Powerful truths straight from God’s Word that come alive in us as we are reminded to truly wait on God and receive His strength in the midst of the unknown. But what is waiting?

Waiting on God is not a passive position that we take up, like binge watching our favorite tv series on the couch. Patience becomes active endurance, positioning our hearts with expectancy and trust, quieting our soul in His Presence, that we can clearly hear from God. When we have been with God, there is evidence. We may walk in with fear…but leave in faith and hope. God gives great value to the process.

James 1:2-4- Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. And let endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.

The phrase “lacking in nothing” brought me to another verse.

Psalm 23:1- The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want.

David is referring to the Lord’s provision, yes, but could it also be an indication of his heart’s posture as well? His attitude that “he shall not want”, that there is nothing more that can add to him in this life. No matter the things that come his way, the unknowns, the trials. He has found his fulfillment in God alone.

❤️ I take great comfort in knowing that God is faithful and completes the work He started in us. As Isaiah 40:31 states He gives new strength through it all. What a beautiful picture of mounting up with wings like eagles, above the storms of life, fully trusting God. Before we know it, we are no longer asking “how much longer?” …but freely soar above it all in “lacking nothing”.

Surrender > Control

Ezekiel 47:1-5- In my vision, the man brought me back to the entrance of the Temple. There I saw a stream flowing east from beneath the door of the Temple and passing to the right of the altar on its south side. The man brought me outside the wall through the north gateway and led me around to the eastern entrance. There I could see the water flowing out through the south side of the east gateway.
Measuring as he went, he took me along the stream for 1,750 feet and then led me across. The water was up to my ankles. He measured off another 1,750 feet and led me across again. This time the water was up to my knees. After another 1,750 feet, it was up to my waist. Then he measured another 1,750 feet, and the river was too deep to walk across. It was deep enough to swim in, but too deep to walk through.

As believers In Jesus, we can look forward to two exciting opportunities. The first is to look forward in faith to the heavenly temple (our eternal dwelling place with God). From it flows the river of God whose waters bring life and healing to everything in its path. The second is to understand that we can walk in the river of God now. We have within us the Holy Spirit and God’s resurrection power, which in God’s hands we are instruments to extend His healing.

Ezekiel also gives us a picture of our journey with God, walking increasingly through the depths of faith:
At ankle-deep, we enter with no obstacles, our feet are on the ground, and we can move quite effortlessly through the shifting water.
At knee-deep, we remain in "control", our feet are still able to touch the bottom, and we continue to move freely without reservation.
As we transition to waist-deep, it is here we experience the weightiness of the water’s pressure which is able to influence our movement as the currents get stronger. Even though our feet are still on the ground, our sense of "control" is being challenged. The ways we have responded to the past “depths" are no longer valid, as it is harder to resist the currents on our own.

THEN…at just the right moment...we are invited into a depth that can no longer be approached in our own strength. The very tips of our toes trying to hold on to the last bit of ground, now moving into suspended water. The “control” we once had is surrendered fully to the ONE who surrounds us. We are not tossed about by moving currents, as we are at a depth with God that cannot be measured by human understanding.

Ephesians 3:18-19- And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God.

Isaiah 43:2a-When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown.

❤️ May you know the depth of His love for you, it is as deep as the ocean, a safe place where you can let go and trust the ONE who carries you through the waters. They will not overtake you. He is with you always! ~love u

No Other God

In Daniel 3 we read about the story of three men, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego thrown into a fiery furnace for not bowing down to an image of gold that King Nebuchadnezzar had set up.

Let’s look a little closer to some key points in the full story:

They remained steadfast in their commitment to God. It started with the seemingly insignificant things, like not eating the unkosher delicacies everyone else was served and asked for a diet of vegetables and water. Or not allowing success and promotion to distract their allegiance. Or not assimilating to the culture around them in a foreign land, serving other “gods”.

Their practice of obedience in the “small" things God asked of them, prepared them for the blazing furnace moment. God strengthened them in His grace to boldly declare who they serve when their lives were at risk.

Daniel 3:16-18- Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego answered and said to the king, “O Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer you in this matter. If this be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of your hand, O king. But if not, be it known to you, O king, that we will not serve your gods or worship the golden image that you have set up.”

Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego surrendered completely to God- body, soul and spirit. They knew their God was able to deliver them…but even if He did not do what they expected, they knew there was NO OTHER GOD!

Ultimately, there was a 4th man in the fire and God delivered them. They were saved from the fiery furnace without even smelling like smoke. Seeing God move in the lives of His people was an effective testimony to Nebuchadnezzar. And our lives are meant to be the same.

2 Corinthians 3:2-3- You are our letter, written in our hearts, known and read by all men; being manifested that you are a letter of Christ, cared for by us, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.

❤️ May this encourage you as it did me, to continue to be steadfast in our obedience and faith. Knowing our lives are a letter written to the people around us, not with ink on paper, but the Spirit of the Living God on human hearts. Our conviction to stand boldly in the face of adversity, compromise, persecution or temptation, we proclaim "There is NO OTHER GOD"! So, as we trust God in every situation knowing that there are eternal reasons for temporary trials, be thankful that we are truly in God’s hands the Savior of our souls! ~love u

New Weekly Inspiration Post!

They stand ready to perform the "voice of God's Word". Who puts "voice" to His Word? We do! We do not command angels, God's Word does...when we speak forth His Word, they go and do it. His Word will not return to Him void, it will accomplish all He sends it forth to do.
