The LORD is on my side, and I am not afraid of what others can do to me.
Psalm 118:6
I have read Psalm 118 a few times before, but last night this particular verse spoke to me. So much has been going on in my world (some good, some very bad), but through it all I have never stopped calling on my Father. To be brutally honest the betrayal part almost wiped my spirit out. I literally felt my beautiful light being blown out like a candle. But, as I read this verse I felt it being restored, renewed and revived. I use to wonder why people memorized verses and now I know why. Every verse, every instruction, and every promise made by God is spiritual armor. I now get it! I choose to walk with the LORD and that means I must TRUST him implicitly. People are going to disappoint us, but God never will. It's amazing what we learn on our walk and although the past few weeks have been gray I now know that the sun shines regardless. *Smiling*
Things I Know For Sure:
1. God loves me
2. Laughter heals
3. I am growing more than I ever imagined
4. I am living in a grateful state of mind
5. Smiling at those who hurt us...strengthens us in the end
Oh Tabitha, these are such beautiful strong words. Smiling at those who hurt us...strengthens us in the end. God never gives us anything we can not handle. I wish you many blessings and happy days ahead my friend. Take care.
ReplyDeleteI love your, "Things I know for sure" list!!! I especially can relate to number 3!
ReplyDeleteTabby, I don't know what the betrayal was, but I can say something that might help a little bit take some of the sting out of it, and that is that I have faltered and done stupid things at time, never intending to hurt others, never meaning it to be a reflection of THEIR worthiness, but rather just foolish behavior on my part when younger and having very poor esteem. No matter what happened, it was not caused by you in any way.
ReplyDeleteI am glad that verse is helping you.
Growing in wisdom and forgiving can be so vey painful.
What a beautiful scripture reminder. Like you, I find myself growing in ways I never imagined but that's just how good our God is. He exceeds our expection.
