Every Testing

And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth.  John 1:14 NASB

When we listen to Holy Spirit and honor Him with our lives, we will move among His created earth with calm and peace - literally have God’s light pour forth from us! And even though we may not be able to control the environment we’re in, or the events taking place on the either side of the world, we can control how we carry ourselves in the midst of these moments in history. 

Ezra 9:9 NASB For we are slaves; yet in our bondage our God has not forsaken us, but has extended lovingkindness to us in the sight of the kings of Persia, to give us reviving to raise up the house of our God, to restore its ruins and to give us a wall in Judah and Jerusalem.

I’m pretty sure we've mentioned it before….  how it appears at times as though the world is tilted - off kilter - and the enemy is enjoying the latest division it is playing with - and it feels like we are flamingos - all pink with what we information consume and yet standing trying to rest on one leg.... but when we acknowledge Jesus as the risen saviour He becomes our rest, our rock on whom we stand - Jesus Christ is the light at the end of the tunnel - He is the answer to each and every testing, every question, He is gentle when we feel like an angry mess and  a quiet strength when frustration threatens to overwhelm us. He disarms our best defences with His persistent grace. He confronts our human pride with His perfect love. He is God! Trust Jesus - choose to accept Him as Your Lord and Saviour, the redeemer. 

Because God restores His people into His family. He gives us the Grace to be like Him. And to overcome our challenges with Holy Spirit’s strength & joy.
