So I am going through some really tough challenges right now health wise. I battle everyday with myself and with God as to why this is happening to me. Then I am reminded that I need to have faith. He keeps telling me have faith.
He replied, "Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there; and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you." - Matthew 17:20.
As I think about the current situation in my life, I am reminded of the test that God placed upon Abraham. Abraham journeyed to the mountain top to follow God's will to sacrifice his beloved son; Isaac. Abraham's faith in God did not diminish. Abraham's faith in God was so strong that he knew God was going to make a way for him. It's a reminder that Jesus wants me to have faith, and He only asks that I have faith the size of a mustard seed.
Nobody said "oh Brandy dear" your life and journey will be easy. Tests and trails will come my way but I must maintain good courage and cheer. How I handle this test is how I will be graded by God. I made the decision to follow Gods will whole heartedly; but I also know in order to pass this test I must have faith that it will get better because (God is ABLE). This test is a test unlike no other; I wasn't prepared for this test. So I decided to keep pushing and praising God no matter the outcome. I don't know who needs this message today but I am here to assure you that your tests will turn into testimonies. As I am sure that mine will in time. Next time you feel the urge to want to give up, think of Abraham. As a strong believer of Christ, I know my purpose is to testify of God's favor upon my life.
I am currently facing a road block in this present hour, but guess what...I declare that this is my season to receive everything God says I will inherit. Everything the devil tried to stop will not prevail. I may not bare tangible sacrificial items, but trust and behold God hears my cries for help. In order to pass this test, I will continue to keep my heart and eyes laid upon Him. God will not forsake me. He is always there with open arms.
He knows my needs and the desires of my heart. His word says:
"Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trails, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. And let endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing." -James 1:2-4.
In the words of a believer, "God is able to do exceedingly and abundantly above all that we ask. If He did it before, He can do it again." (My Loving Spouse, Bo Ross). Whatever it takes just bask in His presence, because weeping endures for the night, but joy comes in the morning. Whether it takes me a few months or several years to pass this test, I will hold on to God's words because they are true. I am encouraged just by knowing my purpose and being is all for His Glory. Righteousness is what I long for. I ask that you please keep me in lifted in prayer.
Lets Pray:
Father,
I come to you today and ask for healing. I ask that you keep me close to you and help me remember that you are not letting me walk alone. I thank you for my husband who without his strong faith, prayer, and patience, I could not get through this each day. I pray for those who are suffering, or are having struggles that they feel they cannot over come. I ask that you reach out to them, as well, and let them know they are not going through it alone and that you are faithfully right there with them. You are a loving, faithful, healing God and I whole heartedly thank you for that.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
Lauren Daigle - Trust in you
With Love,
