How are you
my friend? It is a beautiful Friday here in South Africa and a very nice and
warm day. I do hope you are well. I have been writing to you this week on challenges
and how we can better be prepared for what we face and do by dealing with them
with the help and guidance of the Holy Spirit.
This morning
in my prayer time the Holy Spirit took me to Psalm 147, and I am looking at
verse 3, “He heals the brokenhearted and bandages their wounds”.
Now what is
important is to see how the Holy Spirit ties up the week. So, bear with me as
we go back in time. We started with hunger. As the deer pants (hunger) for
water so does my soul hunger for the Lord. He walks with me through my battles
and everywhere my foot steps God will give me victory over my challenges and my
battles. As I continue to do good and to seek God even when I am desperate in
my valley and in the trouble around me, I will follow His Word and seek His
will and His ways above my own. And then God says that He will heal the broken hearted
and bandage their wounds. He will give comfort to the hurt and the pain, and He
will heal the sorrow and the loss.
Who is this
amazing God we worship. He counts the stars and calls them by name. His power
is absolute and His understanding is beyond our own comprehension. He who gives
rain to the ground and water to the plants. He who watches over the birds and
the flowers loved us so much that He gave His life to save us.
His delight
is in those who fear (respect and honor) Him and who do good even in the
tribulations they have. He strengthens your defenses against the relentless
attacks of the enemy and He blesses you. He gives you peace when you are overwhelmed
and anxious and He satisfies your hunger by dwelling in you and giving you power
to stand up one more time.
My dear
friend, God knows, God sees and God acts. He is the one we go to, and He is the
one we surrender all of us to. He is the one who goes before us, and He is the
one who has vengeance. Be strong and courageous and know that as He was with
Moses He is with you.
He will
bring forth water from a stone. Life from what was lost and He will protect you
in the day with a cloud and by night He will be like a warm fire in you that
comforts you and give you peace so that you will walk safely through the wilderness.
He will part the water so that you can walk through the storms and He will
deliver you from what was trying to destroy you. He will give you victory over your
enemies so that you can walk with confidence in the land that He has given you.
Oh wow,
that is so cool.
Have an awesome day, my friend. I love you but Jesus loves you more.
