PhotGod says no.
And we in human thinking cannot understand,
especially if what we long for and pray for is a good and godly thing...
and seems to be the best idea for us and our loved ones.
When God says no, be completely at rest that
He knows exactly what He is doing. He is never early or late.
When God says no, be completely confident
that He has YOUR best in mind...for His glory.
When God says no, do not be in despair.
It doesn't mean He has left you.
It means He in His infinite wisdom and love is looking out for you.
When God says no, be assured that
He is grooming you for a later assignment.
When God says no, wait in the stillness, yielded and still.
When God says no, walk the dark hills with the Light of Life,
Jesus Christ who is our Guide.
When God says no, weep in the midnight watches
and release your emotions to Him
who knows you completely and who loves you beyond comprehension!
When God says no,
trust and obey.
Live your life with open-palmed
yieldedness.
When God says no,
look around you
at all the places to serve
where you are.
They are many.
When God says no,
get up, wash your face
anoint your head with the
oil of joy in Him,
and reflect Jesus to
your loved ones.
When God says no,
know Him.
He is the Father who gives
every good and perfect gift.
There is more to the story,
and in due season,
you will know what it is.
So for today,
in the midst of complete brokenness
over a no I have received,
I look up there to what I wrote,
and share that this comes from
lessons He is teaching me.
Love and blessings,
Marcia
" Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:
7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord.
9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
10 For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:
11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
12 For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.
13 Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree, and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree: and it shall be to the Lord for a name, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off."
Is. 55:6-13
This is so encouraging Marcia, cuz this is exactly where I feel God has me now. I don't understand but I know He's at work and will perform His perfect will. And He's working it in me to surrender my will to His. Thanks for blessing me today with this truth!
