As I am now spiritually free, I am quietly waiting on Almighty God without trying to help Him.
I believe every Christian would agree, we sometimes try and help God, for our different reasons.
The first thing I wake up to daily, as I have placed this where I can read it as soon as I awaken; “Be still and know I am God”. Psalm 46: 10.
This may seem easy, I have read this every morning for decades, and I still need to read this every morning. Why? Well sometimes we children of God, think we understand what we need, but of course we only see such a tiny time line; when God sees the very beginning until the very end.
We don’t know what this day will bring, yesterday is over, and tomorrow we cannot see.
And it’s when I am in the winter seasons I need these short, simple words from my Father, the most; as only He knows exactly what I need, and when I need it.
In these winter seasons, they can feel so long, and the same word that seems to appear everywhere I look is: Perseverance.
So with this, I will add the beautiful words of our Lord Jesus from His Sermon on the mount, when He was Son of man, Son of God and walked amongst mankind.
“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
“Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
“Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.
“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.
“Blessed are the merciful, for they will receive mercy.
“Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.
“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.
“Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
“Blessed are you when people revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you”.
Gospel of Matthew. Chapter 5: Verses 3 – 11. The New Revised Standard Version of the Holy Bible.
These Holy words spoken, make the word: Perseverance, very meaningful.
By being still and knowing my God looks after me; in every way, then I only need to persevere in these winter seasons, as all seasons do come to an end, and after winter is spring; a wonderful season of re-growth; and brand new growth.
My prayer today; I hope with my heart; these Sacred Words, bring you comfort and peace. Amen.
