I woke up this morning rested and ready to conquer the day. wouldn't you know it- the Lord had something to tell me. However, the words that He gave me would not have resonated had i not been emotional and physically drained. The emotions and exhaustion i felt yesterday are still so fresh in my mind that the words pierced and hit right where i needed them to renew me.
I usually read my two year Bible and then I read Jesus Calling by Sarah Young. WELL today's devotional was Come to Me for Rest. I litteraly weeped as I read through it. the verses that it referenced were
Psalms 42:11
New International Version (©1984)
Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God.
GOD'S WORD® Translation (©1995)
Why are you discouraged, my soul? Why are you so restless? Put your hope in God, because I will still praise him. He is my savior and my God.
and
Romans 8:28
New International Version (©1984)
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
Amplified Bible (AMP)
God used the devotional writing itself spoke volumes to me. these are the things that stood out to me.
- "The journey has been too much for you , and you are bone-weary"
- "Remember the I can fit everything into a pattern for good , including the things that you wish were different."
- "Start with where you are at this point in time and space, accepting that this is where i intend you to be."
- "Let Me guide you through the many choices along your pathway."
- "You are on the path of my choosing, so do not give up!"
So today I committed (as i will probably will have to do everyday) that i will not worry about the sale of the house (As i did yesterday-so much so that it exhausted me emotionally). We are following Gods calling for our family and I will Hope in the Lord, for I will again praise Him for the help of His presence.
Lord your will be done. Thank you for knowing me so well and providing just the words i need to bring me comfort.
