Hi Everyone!
I have been wanting to come back to the blogs for a while now, yet I have felt very strongly that God did not want me to come back. Each time I would give it serious thought, He would say "no".
Little did I know that God was doing this to protect me. Because He loves me. Because He knew that there was something here that would hurt me, wound me. And it has.
I disobeyed God, this amazing God that I love so much. He had me sheltered under the protection of His wing and He was healing the wounds that were causing me so much pain.
God has reasons for saying no. He doesn't do that to harm us, but to protect us. He is the Good Shepherd, and He uses His rod and staff to keep us from straying into danger.
But every now and then one of His lambs (that would be me) thinks she is wiser than He is, and she sets off alone out into the wilderness. And what does she find there? The wolf and he has very sharp claws, and teeth that are razor sharp.
So this little lamb has been slashed at by the devil and the wounds that were healing are now open gashes and I am bleeding all over the green grass in the sheepfold.
So what do I do now? Do I stay? do I run away again? I have no idea.
All I do know is I want to serve my Lord, and I want to do it magnificently. I want to be an encourager to the wounded, I want to be a light to the lost, and to lead them to the Saviour.
I want people to know that this God we serve is an amazing God. He takes nothing and makes it into something beautiful. He is the potter and we are the clay. Crafted by His Loving Hand.
So while I wait for God to lead me, I will do my best to encourage and edify. I will share all He has done in me and through me just like I used to. And I pray that this will be pleasing to my Lord.
ps in the last few days God has been leading me over and over again to Ps 34.......
Psa 34:1 I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.
Psa 34:2 My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad.
Psa 34:3 O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together.
Psa 34:4 I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.
Psa 34:5 They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed.
Psa 34:6 This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.
Psa 34 The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.
Psa 34:8 O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.
Psa 34:9 O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him.
Psa 34:10 The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good thing.
Psa 34:11 Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the LORD.
Psa 34:12 What man is he that desireth life, and loveth many days, that he may see good?
Psa 34:13 Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.
Psa 34:14 Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.
Psa 34:15 The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry.
Psa 34:16 The face of the LORD is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.
Psa 34:17 The righteous cry, and the LORD heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles.
Psa 34:18 The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.
Psa 34:19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all.
Psa 34:20 He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken.
Psa 34:21 Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous shall be desolate.
Psa 34:22 The LORD redeemeth the soul of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate.
