    Waiting on God

    Reflection

    Hebrews 11:13-16

    “These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off were assured of them, embraced them and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. For those who say such things declare plainly that they seek a homeland. And truly if they had called to mind that country from which they had come out, they would have had opportunity to return. But now they desire a better, that is, a heavenly country. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He has prepared a city for them.”

  • Waiting on God…It’s never easy…

    IMG_0937I have been waiting an awful long time for the Lord to restore me, to deliver me, to answer certain prayers.

    I don’t like it when God is silent and distant with me. My soul aches. The times when I feel most empty and alone is when God is silent.

    I cry out to my Lord, but it feels as if He turns His back and deafens His ear to me, leaving me to my anguish, when He is silent.

    Being fulled persuaded that God, my God is compassionate and loving, I know that He thinks of me. I just never understand what I do that so offends Him that forces Him to turn a deaf ear.

    I so enjoy the times when He is near, so near I can feel His presence. I know that He has answered my prayers. I know that He has heard my cries and eased my achy soul.

    I know when my God is holding me, comforting me, healing my broken heart.

    No one can understand the deep love that God has for His children, when He is the only Father they have ever known.

    So many times, that’s the only place I want to be, in my Father’s hands, resting in the shadow of His wings. I can see myself just completely trusting in Him, but then the demands of the world slap me back to reality, a reality that does not know God and further judges me for trusting in a God I can’t see. Such is the way of this world.

    The world, the church and the flesh judges me for putting my faith in the living God, and not in some pastor’s beautiful words, or in some church building.

    I have been waiting so long my Lord. Are you ever going to open doors, or windows for me? Even a tiny little crevice would do well.

    Every time You give me a message, I am so encouraged. I feel useful. I feel special. But when I don’t hear from You, it’s as if I lost my only Love.

    How much longer, my Lord? In my powerless state I can do nothing. Still, I know full well, Your grace is sufficient, for Your strength is made perfect in weakness, when I weak, then You are strong.  It’s not every one that can see what’s really there. It’s not everyone that can see how You are working in the lives of Your children.

    I got zero back on my worldly empowerment, lost precious time with my daughters, and lost precious time with You.

    That You are working all things out, I know that full well. Help me to wait on You, my Lord. I ask for Your peace, Your peace that surpasses all understanding.

    In Jesus name, my Lord.

    Amen

  • You have covered Yourself with a cloud, that prayer should not pass through.

    You have covered Yourself with anger
    And pursued us;
    You have slain and not pitied.
    44 You have covered Yourself with a cloud,
    That prayer should not pass through.
    45 You have made us an off scouring and refuse
    In the midst of the peoples.

    46 All our enemies
    Have opened their mouths against us.
    47 Fear and a snare have come upon us,
    Desolation and destruction.
    48 My eyes overflow with rivers of water
    For the destruction of the daughter of my people.

    49 My eyes flow and do not cease,
    Without interruption,
    50 Till the Lord from heaven
    Looks down and sees.
    51 My eyes bring suffering to my soul
    Because of all the daughters of my city.

    52 My enemies without cause
    Hunted me down like a bird.
    53 They silenced my life in the pit
    And threw stones at me.
    54 The waters flowed over my head;
    I said, “I am cut off!”

    55 I called on Your name, O Lord,
    From the lowest pit.
    56 You have heard my voice:
    “Do not hide Your ear
    From my sighing, from my cry for help.”

    57 You drew near on the day I called on You,
    And said, “Do not fear!”

  • Oh the love of God…

    Rich Mullins – The Love Of God Lyrics

    There’s a wideness in God’s mercy
    I cannot find in my own
    And He keeps His fire burning
    To melt this heart of stone
    Keeps me aching with a yearning
    Keeps me glad to have been caught
    In the reckless raging fury
    That they call the love of God
    Now I’ve seen no band of angels
    But I’ve heard the soldiers’ songs
    Love hangs over them like a banner
    Love within them leads them on
    To the battle on the journey
    And it’s never gonna stop
    Ever widening their mercies
    And the fury of His love
    Oh the love of God
    And oh, the love of God
    The love of GodJoy and sorrow are this ocean
    And in their every ebb and flow
    Now the Lord a door has opened
    That all Hell could never close
    Here I’m tested and made worthy
    Tossed about but lifted up
    In the reckless raging fury
    That they call the love of God

    Psalm 19:1-6 

    The Perfect Revelation of the Lord

    To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

    19 The heavens declare the glory of God;
    And the firmament shows His handiwork.
    2 Day unto day utters speech,
    And night unto night reveals knowledge.
    3 There is no speech nor language
    Where their voice is not heard.
    4 Their line has gone out through all the earth,
    And their words to the end of the world.

    In them He has set a tabernacle for the sun,
    5 Which is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber,
    And rejoices like a strong man to run its race.
    6 Its rising is from one end of heaven,
    And its circuit to the other end;
    And there is nothing hidden from its heat.
