Finding refuge
Good morning brothers and sisters. I have said and I will say again, I am learning with you. People think that just because I teach God's word that I always know what to do. They think that I got it all together and I don't get my feelings hurt and I don't get frustrated but that can be the furthest thing from the truth. And as I am growing in Christ, things actually bother me more. But I am also learning how to handle these situations and how to respond. This morning He led me to Psalm because last night I went to bed feeling defeated and just down right tired. Not psychically but spiritually. So all I prayed last night was for rest and to find answers to my feelings. So like I said He led me Psalm 30:1-3: 1- IN You, O Lord, I put my trust; let me never be ashamed; DELIVER me IN Your righteousness. 2- BOW DOWN Your ear to me, Deliver me speedily; BE my rock of refuge, a FORTRESS of DEFENSE to SAVE me. 3- For You ARE my rock and my fortress; therefore, for Your name's sake, LEAD me and GUIDE me. Look at what I am asking Jesus to be. But I have to listen and let Him guide me. And yes, the answers did come. Wisdom, knowledge and mercy all came to me this morning. So as I waited on the Lord and did not act on my own behalf, He gave me the answers and now I will do as He tells me to. He guided me how to handle the situation and because I will listen, I do not sin. He kept me from sinning just like He promised me He would do. So today, I just want to praise my Lord and Savior for always knowing, for always providing, for always being my refuge. Have a blessed day and rise up children of God, rise up!
