WAITING ON OUR FAITH JOURNEY

Psalm 59:16-17
"But I will sing of your strength, in the morning, I will sing of your Love; for you are my fortress, my refuge in times of trouble.  O my Strength, I sing praise to You; You, O God, are my fortress, my Loving God".

When our circumstances are somewhat challenging along with the weakness through healing, we need to always remember, He is our Strength.  Patience is a virtue, but how many times have we become so impatient.  God has His Perfect Timing for everything.

In today's world, with all the "speed" of everything around us, it becomes difficult to "wait on the Lord".  We have "fast food", "fast cars", "wifi increases", and so much more.  The terminology of "watch and wait" is very prevalent in the medical field.  So many different reasons, but mostly it is to gain "perfect timing" for the healing to process.  If you were to remove an organ prior to proper testing...it may be revealed, that in fact, it would never have been necessary.  I have known many women, who during their menopausal stages, seek the all too huge process of having everything removed.  Well, maybe trying to keep one ovary intact, for the estrogen/progesterone equalities.  And then, there are reprisal effects to involve other attached organ areas, and soon there is a myriad of continuing surgical procedures to correct the original one.

The need for "waiting and watching" requires additional strength in His promises.  Naturally, this is not only prevalent to medical issues, but our everyday living.  Be of good courage, He knows everything, He is omnipresent.  He goes before you in every place of your life.  He says this to us again:

Isaiah 40:31 "But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength: they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk, and "Not Faint". (this does not really mean fainting as we know it in a medical venue...but better to say "Not Weakened")

We cannot live by the "what ifs" in our lives.  He knows what His Purpose is for you, and then gives you the the choice to make it, in His Free Will.  He Loves us so unconditionally...and that is something many of us never receive from each other.  We need to use our time wisely.  Offer His Love and Light that surrounds you.   He gives so much in return.

Oh, and by the way, this is not new in today's world alone.  Remember Adam and Eve?  When Eve persuaded Adam to "sin" against God's Will, this is what He said:

Genesis 3:13 "The Lord God said to the woman, "What is this you have done?"  The woman said, "The serpent deceived me, and I ate." (this is the very first sin of man)

But then...He waited...and sent His Son, Jesus, in His Fullness of Love for us. He offered His own Son to die for us and then, the "wow" factor came to offer His Resurrection of a promised eternity.  God waited too, until the Perfect Timing.

ANGELS AMONG US...SINCE CREATION

"THE ANGELS SHOUTED FOR JOY"

Job 38:4-7
The Lord spoke to Job
vs 4 "Where were you when I laid the earth's foundation?  Tell me if you understand."
vs 5 "Who marked off its dimensions?  Surely you know!  Who stretched a measuring line across it?"
vs 6 &7 "On what were its footings set, or who laid its cornerstone....while the morning stars sang together and the angels....shouted for joy!"

The deep thoughts of where we were for His Creation.  Do you understand, do you know?  We existed with Him during this event...surrounded by His Glory!  His angels sang with the morning stars...and His Cornerstone was laid for us.  And He asks you, who chose to "mark" dimensions and measurements on His Creation???  Our hearts have to understand what God means by; "surely you know"!

Has His Purpose been forgotten?  Has the greed and hidden marks of darkness consumed our spirits?  No, Jesus Christ our Savior is with us always!  His promise to all whom He died for and His Resurrection brought our eternity for.... His Creation!

Those angels who shouted for joy!  He provided at Creation ... they are with us still!  So many variations of His angels are among us.  Ask me how I know?  I will tell you, that without a doubt, He brings unexplained reality to us at just the right moment.  Miracles?  The clarity dwells in our understanding; He has given our very soul.

Two different star shine mornings, one after the other, I experienced some of these moments.  One was in wanting to understand, the other was wanting "my" understanding.  The lighted one, wanted His power of wisdom to understand, the other wanted to negate my understanding, from His wisdom, in darkness.  Angels among us proceed to protect us, just perfectly.  His "joy" is returned.

Angels do exist!  Stay the path for His purpose, He provides His joyful angels among us!

I am ever thankful for my friend's calls, my Doctor's caring, my family's prayers, and those additional surrounding hearts!

THE RISING STAR

2 Peter 1:19 We also have the prophetic message as something completely reliable, and you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a light shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.

The rising star...in our hearts.  It seems that everyday I awake...there is that rising star.  Given another day to thank God for and pray for His continual guidance to those in need.

Today, I met with my loving nurse, Kim.  She is always so helpful in answers that I don't have about...well, about many things.  Not just medical, but personally understanding the place of our hearts.

Then, about 2 hours early, I was trying to find my Wound Care, Dr. Allen's office.  It is a bit trying, there are many turns and some construction pieces for rebuilding.  On the first floor, I saw this man, just a bit younger than me. ( It's like God shows me who I should speak with...within the hundreds I see.)  He was walking very slowly on a cane, and visibly in pain.  

I started talking with him and found out his name is Steve.  He told me where he was going on the 5th floor.  Exactly where I needed to go in a couple of hours.  So, I held his good hand with my good hand and we slowly headed to the elevator.  We got up to the office and he reminded me which way to turn.  Then Steve said; "this is going to be the end of me".  Well, you know how that turned out, because I do not believe that.  I shared the story of butterflies from the cocoon, and about Jesus giving his precious life for us.  I had time...he had to move very slowly.  

"We are just like those worms in a cocoon that are wrapped in His love.  And one day that morning star, will shine the light, that is needed to rise the furthest in our hearts, to Him."

When I left Steve after setting him carefully in the chair, I let go of his hand and blew him a kiss..saying "but wait...there is more"!!  I think I saw a bit of hope in him.  I am holding him in my prayers. He will be surrounded by His Glory!  I can only Imagine!
