September. Spring. Another new season embraces us, physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually.
I have been pondering on Psalm 62 since the beginning of this month and I am going to quote from the Message, "So trust him absolutely, people, lay your lives on the line for him. God is a safe place to be. God, the one and only - I'll wait as long as he says. Everything I hope for comes from him, so, why not?"
The more I read, ponder and digest the above verses, the more and more I find myself totally depending on God in every aspect of my life. From business, relationships, ministry opportunities down to devotional time.
A year ago God was highlighting the word FAITHFUL in my heart and spirit, that He is and will forever be, no matter what life throws at me and what circumstance I find myself in. There's no doubt or question in my heart that He is faithful. I guess only He can take you on a personal journey with Him to understand His faithfulness in your life. It's built in your capacity as a human to question, challenge, inquire, decide and become but I dare you not to throw Him in a box....be challenged and stretched! You will be amazed at the outcome. Let me add, don't ever think you are ready! Change your attitude to just absorb, like a sponge would.
God's lead me to a new season indeed. I now run a business, which is my main ministry tool for reaching His beloved children. Doors are opening and daily, my prayer times are increasing because I see the work, I am in the field, I am among the lost, poor, broken, hurt, lonely.
My expectations of where my business will take us lies totally in His hands. My spirit is willing and has obeyed the call, which leads me to sharing a devotional I had on the 1st September '12 (I found it perfect timing and indeed spirit quenching):
To walk with God also means to wait on God. You may need to wait on God to fulfill a promise that He has give you.
Joseph learned what it meant to wait for God to fulfill His promise to him. Joseph waited when his brothers sold him into slavery, he waited when he was a servant in the house of an Egyptian, and he waited when he was unjustly put in prison.
While Joseph waited he never threw away the promise, and while he waited, God worked. In God's time, the day came when He fulfilled every detail of the promise He had given to Joseph.
Are you waiting on God?
Be patient, be faithful, be true.
Place all your expectations in Him, it will be worth the wait.
Be true! I love it. Just be true and be real. God already knows, He has already gone before you and the challenges He gives you is to shape you.
Solitude is critical to the formation of human character. Seek Him in every area of your life for He delights in it, down to you sipping a hot cup of coffee. The comfort you find in that cup of piping hot coffee is an extension of His love for you. The joy He feels, it's just beautiful and real.
God is always at work in and around you beloved, in unseen, unknown, unnamed, and unlikely ways.
Happy Spring!
