I don’t know what God is doing or what He wants me to do. This world is so dark, dirty and painful. People everywhere are hurting....and watching those you love hurt makes one hurt all the more. Trying to help..but standing outside of a glass box, knowing you can only observe. The devil has a way of getting in and messing things up all the more. What should we do there...sit back? Or address it? Yes I want to be used by God, but is that what this is? Why doesn’t He come rushing in and save like he did before?
One day these questions will be answered but for now the dark clouds are just rolling in and there will probably be more loss before the storm is over.
I hold to the Anchor that will NEVER be moved.
Rebekah
Hi Bekah,
ReplyDeleteAs I read this blog, I keep thinking about a verse that a missionary woman who was paralyzed while serving God in Africa shared with our church one time. Isaiah 50:10
"Who among you fears the LORD and obeys the word of his servant? Let the one who walks in the dark, who has no light, trust in the name of the LORD and rely on their God."
Sometimes we do walk in the dark and can't see the light, but we can continue to trust in the name of our God and rely on him! Praying for you!!
Dear Rebekah, I was thinking of you and this song came to mind . . .
ReplyDeleteWhen darkness veils His lovely face,
I rest on His unchanging grace.
In every high and stormy gale,
My anchor holds within the veil.
On Christ, the Solid Rock, I stand,
All other ground is sinking sand.
And this prayer from Psalm 71: "In You, O Lord, I put my trust . . . be my strong refuge, to which I may resort continually; You have given the commandment to save me, for You are my rock and fortress."
Praising God for His grace that keeps you even in this time of darkness,
Lorna
