Isaiah 60:1-2 KJV says, “Arise , shine ; for thy light is come , and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee. For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.” Pastor L. McManus read this last night and it just encouraged me so much. Especially with everything that we have been faced with the flooding in the house. It made me think how the darkness of doubt can sneak into our minds and try to through us off the path. With this scripture going through my mind at prayer last night, the Lord began to speak to me. He said, “Do you doubt that I gave Jack this job in this city?” I said, “No.” He then asked, “Do you doubt that I gave you your house?” I said, “No.” Then He said, “Then do not doubt my reasoning for why this has happened. I have it in my hands.” I began to rejoice and thought, this is an opportunity to see how God is going to turn this around and once again show us His greatness and power. It WILL be for the glory of God. I may not see it with my physical eyes…but, with spiritual eyes and faith I can see that something great will become of this. For He has NEVER failed us yet and He has always been faithful. He does not make mistakes. If He gave Jack this job here in this city for reason, then I will step forward into what He has for us. If you gave us this house, an answer to prayer, then I will take whatever He deals me. I may only see one piece of the puzzle at a time, but He sees the whole picture puzzle. He who started this work in our lives, is FAITHFUL to COMPLETE it. In Matthew 5:14-16, it says, “Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” I am not going to hide behind my situation and sulk about my carpet, linoleum and seemingly destroyed house. I am going to arise & shine…for my light has come. In JESUS name, my situation is being illuminated by His power and grace. And, something is going to become of this that we allow people to see that we see a GREAT & MIGHTY God with whom ALL things are possible! And, His name will be glorified in this! ♥
