“Search for the Lord and for his strength; continually seek him.” Psalms 105:4
This is my prayer and how I want to live my life.
We all have our moments of doubt, fear, unworthiness, and lack of faith…But I will tell you that when you seek God in every moment, you see him everywhere.
Over the past month or so, I personally have been hit with death on 3 different occasions. Death is never an easy thing to deal with, but when I have my focus on God, it has been so much easier to handle. Yes death is death, but I’ve had to find the blessings and positiveness out of these situations. That scripture at the beginning is a daily prayer of mine. I have to stay steadfast in my relationship, knowing God is in control. You think Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego didn’t have to stay Persistent with their faith when thrown into the furnace? You think Daniel didn’t have to stay Persistent with his faith in the Lions den? You think God isn’t Persistent with you in your daily walk?
We don’t always have to look around for Gods love in the world…sometimes it is in his Persistence of unselfish love from others. If there has only been one thing I have learned so far on this journey, it is that when I stay Persistent in the Lord, he is a God of Promises. He will answer my prayers. He does answer my prayers.
I have had a crazy 1 1/2 months. I’ve went from not being anywhere need funded to leave in January, death, moving, fundraising, funerals, meeting deadlines, my body healing, having a car accident, but in all of that I have stayed Persistent in my faith and walk with God…and over the past 5 days I have crushed my next financial goal, almost reached the goal after that, moved, been blessed with resting in God, and knowing God is being Persistent with me in my walk with him. He fights for me just as hard as he fights for you.
I say all of this to tell you…BE PERSISTENT in your walk with God, even when you don’t know which was is up. Even when it all seems to be coming down. When you think to yourself “Am I string enough to do this?”, stay PERSISTENT.
PS: I’m so excited to share with you how God is shaping me to be a better man of God. I have 28 days till I leave the country for Romania! Be praying for not only me but both squads launching in January. We will change the world! Love you all!
