In this life, you will have trouble, BUT WE HAVE GOD TO HELP US GET THROUGH ANYTHING THAT MAY COME OUR WAY. God is an expert in EVERYTHING, and His WISDOM, GUIDANCE, AND HELP have never failed me, no matter the problem area. He’s pretty cool like that!
So, I’ve written recently how this particular verse has been my comfort from Him, showing up all over the place as a personal reminder whenever troublesome situations arise:
“For I am the Lord, your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you.” Isaiah 41:13” Wink! Wink!
And God kept His promise. He sent help. It has to do with a complicated matter, and I can’t get over two people who have shown up and have gone OVERBOARD in assisting me. It felt like God had sent two angels to personally support me (SMILE). At one point, they said I would have to take care of one of the steps by myself, and without flinching, I immediately went into warrior mode, ‘Ok, God, it’s You and me on this one!’ I trust that God KNOWS EVERYTHING and with His direction, I’m good. But within 30 minutes, I got a text from one of the gentlemen saying he would be with me in 10 minutes. He came and took complete charge of everything as I just smiled thinking how God is SO GOOD TO ME. I’m His spoilt girl!
HERE’S THE DEAL:
God is intimately involved in our lives. It’s up to us to invite Him in and ask for His help and guidance. HE LOVES when we include Him in our ordinary, everyday life going to Him in the 1,000 decisions we make every day. His WISDOM is off the chain. His ways are not our human ways, His are way superior.
To hear His voice, start listening. He speaks a lot through our feelings. Like my daughter is upset at me and her dad for not allowing her to go somewhere, but both us just said that we weren’t feeling it. Our spirits were uneasy when we thought about her going there. We don’t know why we weren’t comfortable, but we’ve both come to learn God’s voice and when we feel that way about something it’s God saying, ‘Don’t do that!’ However, If we had felt peaceful about it, that’s God saying it’s OK. We trust His guidance.
So, all day, I want us continually going to God and FEELING what He is saying to us on a moment by moment basis. Doubt, stress, anxiety, concern are cues from Him NOT to do something versus peaceful, non-stressful feelings are usually Him saying it’s COOL TO PROCEED. But still move SLOWLY, taking life one step at a time.
And the more you practice LISTENING to God, the better you get at it. With one glance at Him now I usually know what HE WOULD HAVE ME TO DO. I’m happy to report that I’m FINALLY getting much better with knowing what and what NOT to say with me continually going to God and making Him a crucial part of my conversations with others. ‘God, what should I say here, please?
KEEP CALM—YOU’RE ROLLING WITH GOD
