Heavenly Hay

"The Lord is my Shepherd, I lack nothing.  He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul."  

Delightful bites from the Word of God.

God Will Show Himself Strong

Today was the deadline day for a writing project I took on. Although different from my usual writing style, I felt the nudging of the Holy Spirit to do it.

My assignment was to prove, from the gospels, that Jesus is trustworthy by expounding on Matthew 26:47-56, Judas and the mob. At first glance, I had no idea how the two were even remotely related.

My attention went immediately to the betrayal aspect. I researched passages referencing betrayal with still, no connection.

I lay late into the night pondering. I started to focus on Jesus instead of Judas and immediately, three words into my mind. They were progressive points AND they rhymed! I was done a day early!

THE MORAL OF THIS STORY:
When in difficult situations, don't focus on the problem or the obvious. Quiet yourself and look to Jesus. Once I switched my focus from the obvious to the Lord of the supernatural, direction came immediately.

Several years ago, I encountered a great trial. The Lord impressed upon me that HE is my ONLY source. I floundered for awhile while exhausting all other options, (i.e. wasted a lot of time/energy trying to "help" the Lord). It wasn't until my self-sufficiency got out of the way and I looked to God only, that everything was resolved, redeemed, and restored just as He had promised. (Ps. 130:7-8)

God doesn't need worldly wisdom or Google to show Himself strong. All He needs is a quiet heart and eyes turned towards Him.
