I was able to take a really good stroll yesterday at the
beach, thinking about all the changes since the last time I walked there back
in January. So much HAS changed in my life! I remember how in the winter month God
challenged my faith, asked me about the degree of my devotion to Him, and
responded to the many questions of my heart with the simple answer that I
should just take one step and He would reveal my life to me in His own timing.
Well, here I walk along this same beach again. I definitely don’t
have all the answers; in some ways, some of my questions remain the same. God has
not shown me everything yet. Many times in the past months, He only revealed me
the step I was the take at the very moment -without explaining why.
Yet I can stand here on this beach testifying that He has blessed
me so much…and taught and strengthened me in countless ways, far more than I
thought were possible. These months have definitely not been all I thought it
would or could be; but in many ways, it has been much, much more. Because of His
workings, I dare say that now more than ever I stand amazed at His faithfulness,
His teachings, His promises, and His provision. I know He provides the good…and
He prepares for what we wouldn't necessarily choose to bring upon ourselves. I
still have questions –many questions, might I add! I still wonder how this or
that will happen. I still flinch and fall when the Enemy attacks. Yet, I KNOW I
don’t need to shiver towards the possibilities of my future because I know
better who He is, I know that I can trust Him…I know He will supply me with the
strength to get through anything He allows to come my way and He covers me with
His Son’s righteousness no matter how small my faith seems at times, no matter
what challenge I will face, no matter what temptation I find…
Will I choose to be
faithful to such a great God?
