A reminder for
today
Though an army encamp
against me, My heart will not fear; Though war arise against me,
Even in this I am confident. (Psalm 27:3)
Even in this I am confident. (Psalm 27:3)
I am sitting at work as we battle to finish the last of our
release. I want to complain but I have no strength. We walked out of the office
late last night and hopefully we can end it all today. We are tired and
irritated and somehow it seems as if our company is not really bothered. So, I
want to complain but I can’t. It is a beautiful day outside and we are blessed
to have received rain over last few days. I am at a point where I have no idea
what awaits us. We are heavily burdened with debt and we did not make our underpins
so our bonuses are not going to be much this year. A sudden dip in income can
have a significant impact on your life.
This morning I know the Lord sees my fears and burdens and He
just blessed us with this awesome verse. When I read this, I have a picture in
my head and I am going to try and show this picture to you in words.
I am standing in an open valley with dust all around me. In my
hands are two swords and I am exhausted from the battle. As the dusts settles I
can see an army approaching as the flags of their horse regiment slowly appears
on the horizon. I wipe the sweat from my face and turn towards them. They are
heavily armed as their armour glimmers in the mid-afternoon sun. I can feel the
strength of the Lord flowing through me renewing my own strength and lifting me
up. I rise confident and determined, because behind me lies the remainder of
the previous army and I know if God could take me through that, He will deliver
me through the next one.
I am confident that I will overcome the battles and challenges
that awaits me in the last part of this year. I know the Lord will turn the bad
around for His glory and we will see His blessings as we enter into this awesome
time of the year.
To God be all the glory, because without Him I am nothing.
Lord, I thank you for all that you do for me and all the blessings
we receive out of your hand. Please, be with us as we are facing new and difficult
challenges. Come and rescue your people, Lord, and show us the way. Take away
our fears and burdens and bless our finances. In Jesus name.
Have an awesome day, dear friend of Jesus.
Cheers
