Jehovah Nissi

The battle rages

My strength to the left and right

My banner The Lord

 

The battle cry of the soul goes dimmer in the silence. The lack of support drains the emotional bucket bleeding it dry. Each person needs support as the battle rages. The arms grow weak, the mind is weary as the enemy attacks. Accountability and Hope is given to us on the left and right. Just as Aaron and Hur set Moses down and lifted his arms when he could no longer do it, we need this in our life. We have all seen it haven't we. A brother or sister struggles through there battle, giving it there all..are they alone? Do we step up and lift of them arms....Stand in the gap when they cannot. Our hope is in our support and courage that God gives to us for others. Do we hide this gift....it is painful to support the weak, but it is necessary. It is what He died for.....that brother hurting is just as important as you are to Our God.

Blank canvas

Today is not tomorrow,

It is not yesterday.

Today is an empty canvas,

Full of Wondrous Amazement!

 

The tools given to each:

What can....

What will...

Paint the land with what is given.

 

Colors collide with reality,

Broad the strokes,

The color so vibrant.

Breathe in the Beauty...

 

Arms open wide,

Direct the actions of my Heart,

Use your servant..

I am yours.

 

"And I will delight myself in Your commandments, which I love." Psalm 119:47

I take delight in seeking the One who made me, saved me, and guides me. My delight is a deliberate act and not a burden. Each day is a blank canvas where God asks me to step out on Faith. Every moment begins with that step forward, some steps are painful, but others are natural. Does God take the same delight in my action if it is not on faith. Does my aroma give Him pleasure when my actions are simple? I will not fear tomorrow because my focus is on not today, but the very moment. My faith will take me to Him...

"And Peter answered Him and said,'Lord if it is You, command me to come to You on the water.' So He said, 'Come'....." Matthew 14:28-29
