‘OK, GOD, I GET IT’

That was me to Him this morning! He has a way of changing my perspective on EVERYTHING. I’m still struggling with this patience thing my brother, Kevin, tried to teach me last year. I want to act all crazy, but waking my son, Siah, this morning for school, I had like a glory moment, ‘WOW, GOD, YOU HAVE BLESSED ME INDEED! I’LL DO ANYTHING FOR YOU! Patience You want from me? No problem, I got You! I will be going the extra mile in love, loyalty, and patience, all for your glory.’ Let me tell ya, God is pretty talkative, and He said to me yesterday in an alone time with Him, “Be patient. Sometimes you have to go through the worst to get to the best!” Aye, Aye Captain! Just call me PATIENCE from now on! LOL!

This is where I want us all, doing everything from a God perspective! I know life gets tough, messy, complex, and it can all feel pretty overwhelming at times (exactly me, lately!), but that’s where God beautifully comes in. He is our peace amid the strongest storms knowing He is always with us, protecting us and guiding us on the best paths for our lives. When we keep moving confidently forward, continually asking, ‘God, what would You have me to do here?’ the battles belong to Him.

Everything is between God and us, not between us and anyone else. When the crazy lady wants to come out telling me to be upset, worried, and frustrated, I have to say, ‘Go away! I’m sticking with God!’ Super hard sometimes, and it’s a constant struggle to be the person God is calling me to be. Still, when I put it in perspective of all the extraordinary things God has done and is doing for me, I submit and humble myself to Him because He HAS NEVER FAILED ME YET.

In fact, He shows me such intimate love and attention. I walked in on someone yesterday, and they were reading a small book. They stopped and spoke to me for a moment, and then they handed me the book to read precisely on the page where they were and asked me to take it and read it. When I finally settled down to read it, on that same page was the verse Isaiah 41:10 that has carried me through so many challenges in the past. So much so that I even made it my phone’s screensaver a few days ago when it appeared in my appointment with God:

‘Do not fear [anything], for I am with you;

_ Do not be afraid, for I am your God.

_ I will strengthen you, BE ASSURED I WILL HELP YOU;

_ I will certainly take hold of you with My righteous right hand [a hand of justice, of power, of victory, of salvation].’_

For me to walk in on this person as they read this specific page and for that verse of all verses in the entire Bible to show up there, the same one on my screensaver, was no coincidence. It was a special confirmation from God that He will help me like He has always done so many times in the past. Phew! Let’s keep our eyes on God! HE IS IN THE FIRES WITH US. HE IS IN THE STORMS WITH US. THE BATTLES BELONG TO HIM!!! HEE HAW!
