Be Still

  Good Evening everybody,
      I know that my last blog entry was a little less cheerful than it usually is.  There's just a lot of stuff going on around here, that isn't much great news.  All we can really do is pray about it and wait on The Lord to provide for us all that we'll need.  We have to learn how to be content with what we have, even if it isn't very happy news.  Anyway, we're going to move on now.  So, last night I was up late and studying God's Word like I usually do, I wasn't expecting anything to happen to me last night, but God proved me wrong once again.  I was reading the Bible App on my phone, and this was what the daily Bible Verse was telling me last night:  "Hear, O Lord when I cry with my voice! Have mercy also upon me, and answer me."  ~Psalm 27:7.  

    As I was reading this last night, it suddenly became very clear to me, that God was speaking to me like he always does, but this time around He was speaking to me in a different way than ever before.  God lead me to share this word with you all:  This is how I've been feeling lately, I'm beginning to wonder if He hears me at all; I'm really starting to get desperate for His answers here, I'm having tons of unanswered questions going on in my mind right now; this is especially based on the series of current events taking their place in my life currently,  I'm legit grasping at straws here and He already knows that; He also knows that I'm at my breaking point right now! This could mean two things: 1.) He's preparing me for something new and different or 2.) He's going to put me in a "fire," to test my faith and to see how well I'm to deal with whatever the outcome of this certain thing will be.

   So, once that I'm able to prove myself to Him, it is then, when He will give me His reward for being His good and faithful servant.  However, I won't lie, but I am a bit scared to see what this, "fire" will bring and How I'm able to handle it according to His Will; Whatever it is, He will help me or us get through it together.  He will always provide for us no matter what.  I'm hoping and praying that it will be number one and not two.  He's the only one who knows what this something will be.  We won't know what it is until He reveals it to us on His time and not ours.  He needs and wants us to learn how to, " Be still and know that He is God; He wants us to know that He will be exalted among the nations, that He will be exalted in all the earth! The Lord of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our refuge.  Selah!" ~Psalm 46: 10-11.  

  I truly believe that what God is trying to tell me in the above Bible Verse is this: He's telling us to rise up and to raise our voices among all the nations  and in all the earth to prove to them that He is real and that He will be coming back stronger than ever in His Second Coming, and it's going to be sooner than we think.  He needs us to be prepared for His triumphant return, but if we aren't, then we better start and it has got to be quick and incredibly soon, so start today! Today's a new day and it is another second chance to turn over a new leaf and we have to start fresh.  He gave us a new day and a different chance to change our own lives for the better so that we are able to change the world in order to make it a Holy Place once more.  Agreed? Thank you Lord, I love you, amen! Goodnight and God Bless!
