God-Given Courage ...

She woke with a ‘pattern feeling’ of journey alone.  She knows she is a survivor but she has been wrestling God over her future.  Over her lifetime friends come and they go.  Boys never where interested in her.  She was as one invisible.  Only now is she beginning to attract unwanted attention. Where are the storybook friends and the prince in shining armor?

 Wanting to shake off this feeling, she started chattering to God during her morning routine.  Calling upon the verse ‘Wait on the Lord; Be of Good Courage & He will strengthen your heart.’ (ps 27:14)  Soon her day took over her time with God.

 As she laid her head upon her pillow that night, she sent her gratitude to God for encouraging her that day.  Her head was already filling up with all kinds of creative ideas.  Her God had surprised her with something new for her personal endeavors!  How much more intimate to be encouraged from an out of the blue moment with God than to demand His performance in a ‘fleece moment’!

Dearest Lover of my soul,
When my spirit grows faint within me, it is You who knows my journey. (ps 142:3) You have gone before me and You walk with me. You take discouragement from me and allow me to fill up on Your Good-Courage. (duet 31:8) You love me like no other. I love You. Thank You.

  1. The God-Given Encouragement came in the form of a way to publish my writings {blook}. It has given me a boost in my personal endeavors. I had the dream for a while now and starting the blog was boosted by chocolate and zucchini's book deal. So I knew I could dwell in all the possiblities that I had. What a Wonderful God!
