Wow...! You have no idea (well, yes you do, actually!!) how your words spoke to me. Thank you for being obedient to the Lord's prompting and posting here. I did see your original comment (though I had to go looking for it!) and when I came back today and saw it again, reposted in my most recent entry, I said "Lord, you must really be trying to drive home this point!"
It is SUCH a timely message for me. I actually just came back from a retreat weekend at the camp here in NH that we'd hoped to move to. It was a fun, relaxing scrap booking weekend, but it was also a very spiritual time for me. The Lord used the time away to minister to my spirit (I couldn't even call home to "check in!"...no cell phone service and the pay phone didn't work for me all weekend!). The theme of the retreat was "Be Still....And know that I am God." I felt Him speak that directly to me more than once over the three days. All the while I was thinking of your words that I had read here: that as I was faithful to wait and trust in Him, He would do something so awesome that there would be no mistaking His work! "Be still....and KNOW...that I AM God!"
"Be still..." - Never mind the house, who's going to buy it or when. It's in My hands and I'm in control. Don't fret over where you're going to move. I already know.
"...and KNOW that I AM God!" - I AM going to do something so awesome that you'll have no doubt that I did it. Know that I am in control. Know that I want only what's best for you. Know that I've promised you in my Word, your Bible. Know that I can make a way where man sees no way! "I AM."
That is how He spoke to my heart this past weekend. I was SO blessed. And to come back to my blog and see your words repeated where I just couldn't miss them, well... I'm still being blessed!
I hope you'll come back and check in and see how things go. I'd love to be able to share with you exactly what He does one of these days! Thanks again and God bless you...
