WFW: Summer’s Real Oppression

Hard week?  Take heart, it’s Wednesday. All over cyberspace bloggers are posting images and Bible verses for the glory of God. I know when I read the posts they inspire, challenge, and transform me.  May the same happen for you!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I’m not perfect and neither is my family. We don’t have a special pass or do amazing things.

We just believe God because of Christ.

That’s it.

This summer the humidity that caught my breath when I walked outside seemed symbolic of my walk in faith. Nothing was wrong, but my prayer life, my faith, the core that makes me, me, felt overwhelmed and dehydrated. There were fears and realities and I wallowed not knowing what to do beyond pray.

So I asked others to pray.

And I cried a lot.

In the midst of it all, especially when none of us wanted to do the right thing, we obeyed God.

Last week things seemed so impossible I just longed for my HOME.  All the fears and realities brewed into one thunderstorm of conflict and hurt. The rains of truth came. It was a soggy mess but everything was out and then prayed over.

And now it is clear. Nothing around us changed but I see in our family there is peace that passes all understanding. There is provision and direction.

Nothing perfect going on to an inperfect family.

Just God being an awesome God to a family wanting to obey and rest in His promises and love.

Have you surrendered your fears and reality even if the circumstances aren’t guaranteed to change?

There have been moments when all I can say is “That can only be God.” I love those moments. I’m reminded exactly how much He loves us and wants to meet our needs.
Thank you for this post.
Happy WFW…
