He shall cover thee with His feathers, and under His wings shalt thou trust:
His truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
Psalm 91:4
Trusting in God, even when things seem scary, or strange, is the epitome of faith. The ability to stand firm in our belief, that our Sovereign God is in control at all times, is crucial to being a follower, and person of faith. “Do not fear” —God speaks to us throughout the Bible, encouraging us, and telling us of His promises. And, He always reminds us to trust in Him, and be of good courage…and do not fear.
When things seem confusing ask God to clarify and open the “window of your soul” to His will and full understanding. You can certainly look to Him and ask, “Father, please help me to understand, provide me the wisdom, along with Your perfect peace, to see the reason for what’s happening.” He will answer and show you. It might not be instantly, but He will answer…when He feels we’re ready to hear it.
If we ask for confirmation in prayer, meditation, and through His word—which is the full recourse of faith solving tools—the Father will answer, and shine His light, bringing a greater opening of recognition, and understanding, to those of us seeking His face and His grace.
There may be times where we might be “nudged” outside of our comfort zone, and that is a good thing. When we resist the “urging” of our discerning spirit, we may miss out on an opportunity of substantial growth, which will bring us higher, and closer to our Father God.
When we listen. I mean, really “LISTEN” to His voice and His promptings, we really can move our wheels and go into full gear with our faith and spirituality. When we “feed” our “spirit” and walk accordingly, we are gaining a huge reward in terms of life here on earth, and for the upcoming eternity.
So, the next time you need to do something that pushes you outside your parameters of comfort…and you “hear” and “feel” the inner spirit urging you to do so…after considerable prayer, meditation and reflection…do it! The Lord will never bring you somewhere if not for your own good.
Remember, “His plans are to allow us to prosper and to do well” —there could be no other being that is “rooting for us” like our Father God!
Amen,
thank You
and Praise You Father~
Ruth 2:12
“May the LORD reward your work, and your wages be full from the LORD, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to seek refuge.”
Psalm 36:7
How precious is Your lovingkindness, O God! And the children of men take refuge in the shadow of Your wings.
Psalm 63:7
For You have been my help, And in the shadow of Your wings I sing for joy.
14“Because heb loves me,” says the Lord, “I will rescue him;
I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
15He will call on me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble,
I will deliver him and honor him.
16With long life I will satisfy him
and show him my salvation.”
Psalm 91:14-16
