I have cried a few times intermittently today.
I remembered and thanked God in those tears, those who sow in tears will reap shouts of joy. (Ps. 126:5) I wanted to please God. I knew the battle was real and only by His strength could I carry on, His way. My flesh was worn and oh so weary. I had written this on my arm as a faith verse at start of day. I held onto my Bible and just held it tight. It was so close to my beating heart. His Words. Praying a million times. This afternoon physically and emotionally worn, (but God holding me together to remain by HIS GRACE able to be who He calls me to be for my family) I took a step of faith to do a Karate work out with Isaac. He encouraged me that he would help me with various exercises to ease my tight bound up muscles. We have a little bowing to God on knees time before we start and close eyes and pray.
I am rejoicing with shouts of joy! Those tears sown, prayers said, I was lifted up this afternoon and had the most amazing time training with my son. I had prayed God would lift me up on eagles wings and He did. (Is. 40:31)
Daniel 11:32 “the people who know their God shall stand firm and take action” There is nothing greater than standing firm on the Rock of my Salvation, in reliance on Christ Alone, where my Hope is found. Knowing He alone is able. And to Him be the glory. To exercise the faith in a zillion ways, and see the loving God Who saved my soul, do it for me everyday, to carry me to completion. It… was…. hard. And it was worth it. Victory in Jesus.
“Join me in suffering, like a good soldier of Christ Jesus. No one serving as a soldier gets entangled in civilian affairs, but rather tries to please his commanding officer.” 2 Tim. 2:4
The day is not over…fight the good fight.
Press on.
“Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me” Phil. 3:12
Fight the Good Fight finish the race. Looking to Jesus Who fought the greatest battle over sin and death to save my soul.
