"But as for ME, I will look to the Lord;I will wait for the God of my salvation; my God WILL hear me. Rejoice not over me, O my enemy; WHEN I fall, I SHALL rise; WHEN I sit in darkness, the Lord WILL be a light to me." Micah 7:7-8
Basically, when life sucks, don’t give up, just wait for God. He doesn’t make you wait because He’s slow about doing something about it. Or because He is still trying to figure out what to do. He wants you and me to LEARN to trust Him. That’s why we have to wait.
And satan better not have a party WHEN I get knocked down, cuz I’m gonna get up again and again and again. When life is crap, the Lord will be a light to me. I’ll fail big time. Like EPIC fail. I already know that. BUT it won’t be permanent.
One more thing. God tests us, not to figure out what we’ll do. He already KNOWS exactly what we will do. He tests us to show US what WE will do. God didn’t have to guess if Abraham would be willing to kill Isaac. He already knew. But imagine how big it was for ABRAHAM to really know that when it came down to it, his faith was for real.
Just some things God has been showing me lately.

very true, Paul:-)
ReplyDeleteAmazing way of looking at that...Abraham's faith must have grown hugely that day. You're right: It's not our job to prove to God what we can do, and that's not even what the heck He wants either! You're right: He wants us to trust Him, and grow closer to Him through that, and LOVE Him.
