Yesterday I was feeling a bit overburdened. My husband continues with feelings of anxiety and my daughter needs surgery. A resection of the colon. The Lord spoke to me during the day. Felt his presence. After doing exercises, before I turned the radio I said give me a word Lord. He gave me the song " Blessed the Lord oh my soul " which he had given my husband the day before. In the evening there was a big storm coming and many clouds but through the window I could see a clearing with an amazing sunset that I would never forget. I was like a ball of gold really shining. I know it was the Lord saying " the storms may come really hard but I am there shining through never alone " I love you Lord so much thank you Jesus for your presence.
Now faith is the assurance (the confirmation, the title deed) of the things [we] hope for, being the proof of things [we] do not see and the conviction of their reality [faith perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the senses](Hebrews 11:1).
Unfortunately, many of us still demand that God prove to us (and our natural senses) the fulfillment or manifestation of what we hope for or need in order for us to enter into a place of peace. But if that were the way God worked then there would be no need for faith. Our entire belief system as Christians is based on an unseen God, but when it comes to our daily lives we somehow think that God is going to leave us short-handed and short-changed.
Whether or not you had a trustworthy or loving father during your childhood, I can assure you that you have a trustworthy and ever-present Daddy in Heaven. Your Heavenly Father cannot lie and He will not in any way abandon you. If you ever watch a small child with a good and attentive daddy, they are at peace. They do not go to bed wondering if they are safe or whether or not they will be clothed or fed the next morning; they just know that their daddy has all that they need. The same is true with us.
Those who know Your name trust in You, for You, LORD, have never forsaken those who seek You. Psalm 9:10
God is inviting you into the comfort of His peace and the security of His Fatherhood. Though the world is in constant turmoil, He invites you into the rest and peace of His presence. He is always there to comfort you, to help you, to lead you, to counsel you, to hold you, and to carry through whatever you are facing. He shares both our joys and our sorrows. You are not alone, and you can have peace. No matter what you are facing, He is there and His peace is available. Faith and trust are the bridge to peace! Cross over and find your Father waiting with all that you need.
