But let all those that
put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou
defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee. For thou,
LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield. (Psalm 5:11-12)
The enemy is hard at work trying to get to me. My business
is taking huge knocks and I am considering closing my fitness classes, because
my kids need my time. I believe that time with my children is far more valuable
than all the money in the world. But at this stage a little help would be
great. I lost a few students this year and it is getting harder to make ends
meet. Yesterday was a good example of how the enemy uses anyone to get to me. I
had a class and my house keeper looks after the kids when I am teaching. On Mondays
she works at my ex -wife’s house and yesterday she called my ex to say she would
not be in because one of her kids was sick. My ex just did not think it important
to share it with me. So, minutes before my class I called her, and you can imagine
I was not impressed when she simply said that that my house keeper is not
coming today. Not a good day, but then God send a storm, so my class was
cancelled. I think God is looking after me in ways that I can just not explain.
I read this psalm to my son last night. I love it. Let them
who trust the Lord rejoice, because He defends them. He will protect those who
love Him like a shield. God will bless the righteous. He is my shield at this
moment in my life. I tell you the storms around me is quite intimidating and I am
so tired from this burden that shadows me. But I will keep trusting my Lord and
I will rejoice, because my enemies will stand in amazement when they see what
my God is doing in my life. I know He is busy changing my course and I know God
is altering my journey. I must just be patient. I worry about my kids, but I know
that they are safe and protected because my trust is in the God who created heaven
and earth, the only living God.
The world and the people of this world may try and get to
me, but my God is my defender and I will sing praises as the storm rages on,
because I am safe in His hands and I am a child of God. Nothing can pull me
from His hands and His protection, and I can do all things through my God who
strengthens me. There is no one like our God. Have an awesome day.
I love you, my friend in Jesus.
Cheers
