Let me start by saying, I have no idea why my last post and possibly this one have all that space after them. I didn't put that there and I don't like it. It looks like crap. Did you know that you'll get flagged on your local news web page if you use the word "crap" in your comments? ugh. (eyes rolling)
As we know, I've been in a bit of a struggle lately with the church and my attendance and feelings of fear and worry and concern after having left my last church, as I journey through life and figure out where my "place" is.
I was reading Isaiah this morning and God showed me that I'm still ok. I could be better though. As soon as I get back into a good church I think I'll be better.
For now, however, He's speaking to me and encouraging me gently along. In no way am I on the mountain but I'm not in the deepest valley either. Isaiah 34:16 tells me "Seek ye out of the book of the Lord and read: no one of these shall fail....my mouth it hath commanded, and his spirit it hath gathered them." Then over in the 35th chpt and verse 3 He encouraged me in saying, "Strenghthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees." vs. 4, "Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with recompense; He will come and save you."
I've also sought word about my living arrangements wherein I've lived in my home for 8 yrs in August and have dealt with A LOT of nonsense from my landlord, including her son tapping into my electricity without asking or ever speaking to me at all. They are currently stealing electricity from me and funneling it into the trailer above me (I live on the mountainside). In Isaiah 36:16, He tells me "eat ye everyone of his vine, and every one of his fig tree, and drink ye every one the waters of his own cistern; until I come and take you away to a land like your own land,..." HALLELUJAH thank you Jesus for that word. Hey people friends! I just found that word as I was typing, but the main thing is that I just asked Him for that word last night!!! I said, "Lord, I can't take much more of this burden and if I don't hear something from you soon, I'm afraid I'm gonna go over the edge and take matters into my own hands and get me out of here!!"
That's not even the scripture I was gonna put there!! I was trying to find somewhere in the 34th or 35th chapters where it said, "I have established you and will keep those who obey my commandments." (paraphrased).
Thank you Jesus for rescuing my broken spirit and giving me a word and encouragement and peace for now!! Glory to God He knows me so well!! I LOVE YOU JESUS!!!
