Provision...

I dont know if you have ever felt this way, but life can be a whirlwind of events and emotions, it can have every aspect of you involved completely in the motions. At times we can be so caught up in how our life is going, the people, the things you want to do, the studying, the GOALS, we forget at times our purpose, and the biggest thing we do:

Remembering that The Lord guides, and where He guides He Provides.

I am a planner, I think, and plan, and shape my life around what I want to do, and also how I feel. I forget sometimes to think about where my purpose lies, I forget to take a step back from everyday life and try and find the real reason for why I do what I do.

Unfortunately, even after all the learning and molding, and shaping The Lord has done in my life since the period of which I wrote the Selfishness article, I still revert at times back to my forgetfulness.

Well any way, of late there has been some huge things happening in my life, the showing of God's interention yet again! Life seemed stagnant for me for so long! I was doing the same thing for three years, I havent had much social life, or anything over the last few years... And then with a mighty BANG my life has become busy, with friends and studies, and planning for my future studies, and doing a lot of thinking about the future.

I am finding the Blessings pouring onto me at the moment, but I am also finding the struggles as well. I have basically decided to move away from everyone I have ever known and loved for university, with the knowledge that I may not ever live in Australia again, I may never have the relationship with my family that I have always cherished. At the same time though, I feel the Lords hand in this, I feel like I am doing right by going where He is sending me, but I am scared, I am excited, my life is going to be changing completely in the next 5 months, but even now gradually it is changing.

My personality hates changes, especially life altering ones! But one of my Patients walked into work the other day (she is a Christian also) and she said to me:

"Eish, Honey, when I was a young lady like you, my mother said this to me: "'Where The Lord guides, The Lord Provides'"" and it struck my heart! I am in this world for God's glory, not my own satisfaction, and when I gave Him my heart, I told Him that everything I am is His. Any where God tells me to go, I will go, anything He tells me to do, I will do. This is a hard concept to grasp, to follow through on, to even consider where God wishes me to go in the future, but I rest in His promises.

Isiah 41:10

Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.



Matthew 28:20

Teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.



Romans 8:35

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword?



Romans 8:38-39

For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the Love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.





I am resting in these above promises, it is going to be the hardest thing I ever do in my life leaving all those of whom I love behind, but I believe the words that this very popular verse in Phillipians says: I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. As a woman, I must rest more so on the provision of El Shaddai (God Almighty) to help me through this time. My eternal Promise to God is:

I will your vessel Lord! I will go where you tell me to go, I will say what you put in my heart to say, and I will do my best to continue on in my Faith as fast as you lead me to go. I devote the life you have given to me, to you Father. Guide me where you wish. Amen


I dont know if you are facing a time similar to me at the moment, or if you will in future, but if I have learnt anything recently, its the fact that we are to continue doing what the Lord wishes, no matter how hard it is.
