As I ushered in the New Year with my church family, I took time to reflect upon what God was showing me in the present moment. I relished the truth from His word that says to "number our days". He has already numbered my days and He knows what is going to happen to me, since He wrote out the perfect plan for my life.
So, what was the LORD showing me?
To dig deeper in this relationship that I have with Him. He removed people out of my life, so that my total focus would be upon Him and Him alone. The natural man in me, wanted a woman to heal the pain of a divorce, the loneliness that I felt as well as the insecurities that would bombard me daily.
The LORD had other plans for me. He took what I thought I needed, out of my life, because He is a God who meets needs, and He knows what my needs are better than me. The LORD knew that I needed Him, not a woman, more money or prestige.
As He takes my hand, it is a daily battle to not want to jerk my hand out of His and "go my own way." I thank Him daily for His Word, fellowship with brothers and sisters in the body of Jesus Christ, and time spent in fellowship with Him. These are the components that help me stay anchored in Him, and keep my hand firmly planted in His.
Today is the day that the LORD has made, and I am glad and rejoicing in it!
In His Love,
Alex
