Trust In God

"Trust in the LORD with all of your heart; do not lean upon your own understanding, acknowledge HIM in all of your ways, and HE will straighten your path." Proverbs 3:5-6

This verse has been my heart's cry during the past 3 years.

I strive to walk this narrow path of righteousness everyday. I can clearly see where this verse is so vital to my walk and my life.

After a recent conversation I had, I felt the enemy of my soul attacking me, by attempting to get me to believe that I have not changed. That I am still the same angry, resentful, selfish, self-centered old person that I always was.

And then the LORD intervened on my behalf. HE reminded me that these statements occurred in the past are not any part of who I am today. I have cast-off the "old man" and put on the "new man" everyday.

I did my best to listen with patience, respect. I stated my love for this person and what I would and would not do.

During this conversation, the LORD showed me how confused this person is and that they are in the grip of the devil and do not even see it. This really saddened my heart, because I really love this person, and want them to come to repentance and receive Jesus Christ as their Savior and LORD.

So I continue to pray, asking for the LORD's will to be done in their life and also in mine.

What has been really cool, is that the LORD has been waking me up in the early morning hours and directing me into HIS WORD, to be ministered to, and to receive instruction from HIM.

I'm truly blessed. No matter what happens in my life, I know that I have no life anymore, because my life was bought at Calvary's Cross, by my LORD and SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST. Jesus said, "He who finds his life will lose it, and the one who loses his life will find life everlasting..."
