God Answers Prayers!
I was praying for my list of pre-believers and feeling kinda down coz the list was so long. Then God put in my one word - Ezekiel. I thought it was just my own mind doing its own thing, but when I opened the Bible, one part stared right up back at me - Ezekiel 36:24-27 -
'For I will take you out of the nations; I will gather you from all the countries and bring you back into your own land.I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse you from all your impurities and from all your idols.I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.And I will put my Spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws.'
:)
Then, just a few days ago, I was drowning in despair - I felt as if I was so useless, unable to do anything for God. I wasn't growing, I was just stagnant and perhaps even backsliding. Then on Sunday, my church's weekly contact included an article, the gist of which is that we often overlook the value of waiting. It asked Christians to wait patiently when God doesn't seem to answer.
And I was praying for courage and strength to walk with God, praying that He'll never let me go. God answered with Joshua 1 - telling me that He will never leave me nor forsake me, and asking me to be strong and courageous, that I mustn't be terrified nor discouraged.
Isn't it so wonderful to serve a living, loving God? A personal God? I love Him!
As for me and my household, we will serve the LORD! Amen. :)
