Hello There!
Ok… So here’s so recap of my week… Day 5 I was invited to a meeting where I was told it’s not you, you are great .. it’s us. So today is technically your last day. I will not get into the weeds of the who and why because it really isn’t relevant to the entire story (and besides contractually I can’t anyways but anywho). Yeah so the last few days has been kind of surreal.
Seeing as though we have a double portion of New Beginnings with it being August 8th, I decided to write a post today. So the surreal feeling isn’t due to me not believing I am no longer employed however it is due for some reason I feel a little lighter. No, a lot lighter! And trust me it has nothing to do with having this great nest egg waiting to be cracked. I really cannot describe it. Of course this peace in the midst of the storm can only be attributed to the Lord giving me this peace and I truly THANK HIM!
The Lord is at hand; do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7 ESV
During prayer time, someone prayed for the Ram in the bush to appear. Of course I totally agreed however, I began to ponder on the conditions in which the Ram was revealed. This isn’t the first time I’ve written about Abraham’s faith and it is certainly a testament to how we should walk. During a time of what could be described as the worst day of his life, Abraham calmly received God’s instruction to sacrifice is only beloved son and commenced to walk out those instructions nearly to the very end. Please read the account in its entirety Genesis 2:1-19. I also talk about it here in a previous post Where’s the Evidence of Your Faith .
It was Abraham’s faith in God and unwavering peace during this ultimate challenge and essentially Abraham demonstrated his COMPLETE trust in God. It was then the Lord provided the sacrifice for worship. Abraham acknowledges that “The Lord will provide”
And Abraham lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, behind him was a ram, caught in a thicket by his horns. And Abraham went and took the ram and offered it up as a burnt offering instead of his son. So Abraham called the name of that place, “The Lord will provide”; as it is said to this day, “On the mount of the Lord it shall be provided. Genesis 2:13-14 ESV
He is our Jehovah Jirah the God who is our Provider who is the source of all our Provisions both great and small!
While I lean into God and His Word, I am waiting on His direction. I know that it is during these times it is so very important not to waver or get distracted.
I prayer that if you have a relationship with theTrue and Living God through Jesus Christ and if you are going through a Test or Challenge please don’t give up or give in to the storm and it’s raging winds. Please lean into the Lord and speak to that storm, mountain, or situation to MOVE! Wait on the Lord and be of Good Courage!
Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and He shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord. Psalm 27:14 KJV
AMEN!
Until next time….
Have Faith in God and MOVE accordingly!
