“Stand
in Faith and Know God has You”

I woke up to this message sent to me from Pinterest, “Stand in faith and know God has you”. I felt that so deep in my heart too. As my mind began waking up, I realized
that we had turned a corner on our current stay.
As of this moment, we have only 4 nights left here but I am hoping and believing for a miracle to be able to stay a while longer. No one is ready to go and quite
honestly…there is nowhere to go.
Before coming here, God immersed me with promises about what would come. He showed it all to me in many different ways but it all pointed to the same outcome—God
would be our home and supply the provisions for the journey–no matter the cost.
When worry and panic set in, I have to remind myself that where God guides He provides. The thing that God has been getting
me to trust above everything else is Him.
There is this verse in Hebrews that He always speaks to me and it is not to put trust in money but to put our trust in Him to generously supply all we need. There is
one version of it that I have as on my phone and I recite it several times a day.
“I will not in any way fail you nor give you up or leave you without support. I will not leave you helpless, nor forget
you. I will never let you down. I will not let your children down. I will not relax My hold on you, most assuredly not.”
He always told me that the way to experience His abundance was through trusting Him.
So I have set my heart on following where He leads in utter obedience so that I could see all that He promised to open up like a lotus flower above the marshland.
I have already spent hours today meditating on
what He promised to do for us. Yesterday I was pretty calm and rested in His promise, but today it set in how little time there “appears” to be left.
The pressure and heat of the situation have been
turned up again and once again I have found myself in a place that feels like a matter of death or life.
He has carried us this far and I could not imagine that He would let us fall.
Even though this moment is uncomfortable and terrifying, I have to keep holding my faith and believe that God will do what He promised again–just like all of the times before.
I am
looking forward to being able to share good news soon. Thank you for sharing this time with us and for your loyal love.
I love you . . .
