When we're broken

A new day is on the horizon and my thoughts wander to a small town in the Northeast where a woman I know has gone for rest, refreshment and healing.

I can't stop thinking about her and how I know that God is ready to bring Ephesians 3:20 to reality in her life.."..to do exceeding abundantly beyond all that she can ask or think, according to the power that works within her..."

She, like all of us at one time or another, has had difficulty giving her ALL to the Lord. Old tapes and old hurts along with much assistance from the enemy of our souls have kept her bound for too long and God has whispered to her heart that NOW is the time ..time to say - "enough is enough...I won't listen to the lies anymore....I want to listen only to the TRUTH..I believe it will set me free".

I remember a time, not so long ago, when the Lord whispered to my heart something similar. I was smack dab in the middle of serving Him and one morning He revealed some idols in my life that I was relying upon rather than Him alone! That morning revelation, while sitting in my comfy chair surrounded by resource after resource to keep me focused on Him, sent me running to His Word. I began in the Psalms and as I wept and read and reached for tissue after tissue, the God of the universe reached down out of heaven and applied His balm to my broken heart.


How I praise my Savior for rescuing me from myself and repositioning me in the lane He designed just for me.


This morning as I pray for my sister in Christ I'm personalizing Psalm 18 for her and thanking our God for His grace and mercy poured out upon us, for even one more day. Would you join me in storming heaven on her behalf? It's my prayer.

I want to hear from you dear ones. What is God doing in your life today? Are you struggling to find time for Him? Let's have a conversation.

In Christ alone,
Judy
