I Will Rest on This...

There is nothing more comforting & assuring than to look at my life...in it's craziness, confusion, sorrow, joy, triumphs, trials, frustrations...& then turn to the promises of God...His Truth, His Character, His calling in my life, His certainties. He is unchanging & faithful. When I line the two up...suddenly the things I don't know or understand seem so much smaller compared to how huge God is, how GOOD He is.

Satan is relentless lately...but I refuse him.

Here are some promises & realities in Christ I choose to rely on & how I choose to let these certainties impact me:

YOU are Savior--YOU put me back together.

YOU are Creator--shape my character.

YOU are strong--bear my burden.

YOU are Life--Your blood makes my heart beat.

YOU are Protector--foster me.

YOU are power---YOU compell me.

YOU are Truth--confuse my doubts.

You are the Way--inspire my steps.

YOU are everything--may I decrease.

YOU are the Shepherd--guide me.

YOU are the Potter--shape & mold me, no matter how much it hurts.

YOU are the Redeemer--live through me.

YOU are perfect--change me.

YOU are jealous--convict me.

YOU paid my ransom--collect me.

YOU are the Living Water--fill me.

YOU are Love--consume me.

YOU are the Shadow--allow me to rest in You.

YOU are mighty--shield me.

YOU are Defender--fight for me.

YOU are hope--may I trust in Your goodness.

YOU fill me--I am empty.

YOU laid down Your life--I am free.

YOU are on the throne--I am not.

God is so so good...in the midst of heartache or victory. His provision & how He chooses to bless me amazes me. The picture below...God gave me this beautiful sunrise on this heavy-hearted morning & He also reminded me that it's OK & the better way when I recognize my weakness & understand my need for Him with the verse...through an incredible vessell God chose to wake up just for me this morning...because He knows EXACTLY what I need & is not slow to provide for me.
