Your times are in My
capable hands. Man has an insatiable curiosity about the future and My Children
often wonder why I do not reveal more about their future to them.
When you know extreme good
or bad seasons lay ahead, it removes your focus to that time. You cannot
prevent the negative if I have ordained it, or increase the good. Therefore,
you would waste valuable time and energy anticipating and trying to change the
unchangeable.
Be always aware I have your
best interests at heart. I want what is best for you, but achieving what is
best does not come easy, and often arrives at the end of a path you would never
choose.
When I do not show you what
is ahead, it is a sign to you to focus on the now.
Give your all to each
moment in time and know I guide your steps in the way that is best.
Psalm 31:15
My times are in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and
from them that persecute me.
James 1:4-5
4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye
may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.
5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God,
that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given
him.
Matthew 6:34
Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take
thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

Thank you for sharing. Currently I am trying very hard to align myself with God's heart each day. I feel like I'm fighting boredom and purposelessness. I don't know what to do. I feel trapped in my daily life when I know God promises freedom. I know only things done in love count...and I don't just want a time filler. I want to do things in Love. I guess I'll just keep praying, worshiping and waiting. Please pray because it makes my heart very sad when I feel like my life is purposeless. All I want is to be in God's presence...I don't mind not being busy....but having nothing to do and feeling distant from God is unbearable. I feel lost and as each day goes by it is harder because I feel more and more helpless, angry, and unloved. Sometimes I find myself dreading my future because I dread my present. I don't feel safe or happy. There is no peace and seemingly nowhere to go. I am trusting God when He said he would guide me and be with me each day...but I don't feel loved most of the time. I am reading a wonderful devotional full of God's heart and I can repeat the words about Love as well as beg God to show more love to me...but it doesn't feel like enough. But when it comes to fear attacking me or dread...I can feel that like a physical being in the room and in me. I know it's faith and not works. I just want God. :'( I don't even want to know why I feel this way...I just want to be surrounded by and filled with Love.
ReplyDeleteAmen!
ReplyDeletevery timely! I was only thinking yesterday about reading a book (about future events) and this morning I read this!! Thank you Abba for using Glenda, may you continue to bless her :)
ReplyDeleteAnd a note to A above: you do have a purpose - it is to walk with the Holy One! Ask Him to show you where to start. Do you have a cry in your heart 'that there is more?' because there is. I do believe that The Holy is wooing you to come deeper unto Him....hence the dissatisfaction with the present. ♥
As you continue to sow love you will reap it. Find people void of God's love and extend to them the comfort and love we ourselves are comforted with. I can remember a time when I felt the power of God's love as I released it to a brothers life. Was a wonderful moment I'll never full forget.
ReplyDeleteThank you Cath and Brian...going deeper into Love and extending that Love to others is what God has been teaching me to do. Thank you for the encouragement. It reminds me that God is near me even when I feel I've gotten away from Love. Please pray that I will have a a gentle and quiet spirit...a pure heart. God bless you.
