My Heart is Spoken Forth

The last couple of weeks God has and is continuing to do a work in my heart. I was struggling in my heart and it was beginning to be revealed on the outside. Mainly because I have not been experiencing joy in the season of life that God has called me to be in. The other night I went to my book shelf and turned to February 8th in a daily devotional called, “Steams in the Desert.” I felt like every word that was stated, was God speaking directly into my life.

It said, “O not look forward to the changes and chances of this life in fear. Rather look at them with full hope that, as they arise, God, whose you are, will deliver you out of them. He has kept hitherto; do you but hold fast to His dear hand, and He will lead you safely through all things; and when you cannot stand, He will bear you in His arms. Do not look forward to what may happen tomorrow. The same everlasting Father who cares for you today will take care of you tomorrow, and every day. Either He will shield you from suffering, or He will give you unfailing strength to bear it. Be at peace, then, put aside all anxious thoughts and imaginations.”

He will silently plan for thee,
Object thou omniscient care;
God Himself undertakes to be
Thy Pilot through each subtle snare.

He will silently plan for thee,
So certainly, He cannot fail!
Rest on the faithfulness of God,
In His thou surely shalt prevail.

He will silently plan for thee,
His purposes shall unfold;
The tangled skein shall shine at last,
A masterpiece of skill untold.
-E Mary Grimes.

Though my soul has not been at ease lately, I have and still believe that God has ordained for me to be in this particular season of life. Though there are times I want to give up, God has shown me that I need to continue to run the race of endurance with full speed and trust that this is where He wants me to be at this point in my life. Over the last couple of days I have felt God’s grace pouring upon my life in a deeper and more profound way. And for that I am so very grateful!
