A reminder for
today
But I will sing of thy power; yea, I will sing aloud of
thy mercy in the morning: for thou hast been my defence and refuge in the day
of my trouble. (Psalm 59:16)
Why me Lord, what have
I ever done to deserve even one of the blessings I've known. I love this song
and every time I hear it I think about my Grandma (my Mom’s mother) in her last
days fighting with cancer. She used to listen to this song all the time even when
she was in terrible pain. She was a rock in her faith and a true example of how
we should have faith. Both she and my Grandfather played a huge role in my life
as a child, but unfortunately, I lost my grandfather when I was still very
young.
Today I am there. What have I ever done to deserve the grace
and mercy that God has shown me? I have lived a life that I am not proud of and
it took a number of huge bumps to get me where I am now. The amazing thing is
that God has been with me through it all. Even when I pushed Him away and fell
victim to desire, He still stayed with me and He still guided me. His love and
grace overwhelm me, and I am in awe today of the amazing mercies I have been
given.
Now this is amazing grace and unfailing love that He took my
place on that cross. I have been in a pit of despair the last few weeks knowing
that things at home is in chaos. My whole being has been affected and I could
feel the enemy laughing, because I have finally lost. I felt like the biggest
loser in the world and believe me the enemy made sure that I was reminded of my
mistakes over and over again.
But this week the Lord came, and He just pulled me out of it.
He made me realise that I am stronger because He is with me and He is bigger
than this. He made me calm and gave me peace as He confirmed again that it is
in His hands and He will not let the enemy have his way. No matter what happens
I will be fine, and I will not be broken by this. In me lives and awesome and
amazing God and if He was able to do what He did with me, imagine what He will
do in the days to come.
So, I am not afraid anymore and I expect the worst to happen
soon, but I know now that I am in His hands and so is my children. We will be safe,
and we will overcome this. So, I will sing of His power and I will sing of His
mercy for He is my refuge and my defence in days like these.
Have an awesome day dear friend of Jesus.
Cheers
