I had a killer week last week. I worked hard and my body is sore. I am grateful for the work and the money that came in. This week I have next to no work and on Monday I began to worry. I caught myself though and began to thank God for the rest and spoke (out loud) of my confidence in my Provider. As I praised my God, the enemy fled! Ps 16:8 I have set the Lord continually before me ; because He is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. Therefore my heart is glad and my soul rejoices; my body too shall rest and confidently dwell in safety. Yesterday, I had a little work and then I was called by a friend for "a little help." When I arrived, I was shocked to find that my precious daughter was standing there with my friend! What a surprise, what a blessing!
It astonishes me at how God orchestrates things in my life. He truly is Emmanuel. He truly is with us, even to the end of the age. The Word of God speaks of "pools of refreshment" and this week I am blessed enough to enjoy the pool of refreshment that God has provided. I could have chosen to worry, I could have sunk down in despair, but I chose the better thing! I chose to lay my burden down at His feet and bless His name in Faith and Trust, and now I am free to enjoy the rest He has provided for me. He is so good. He is so faithful. He is my God. Amen
