Question for the remnant - Do you keep a journal? It's an excellent way of looking back over the year although 2010 was not one of the best for me. There's an old American song - The anchor holds but the ship is battered - that might just explain last year. But I console myself that I must be doing something right - I'm getting too much flack!
I found one of the most encouraging entries on the 7th January.
Stand on your God moments - what you believe in a crisis will be determined by the experiences
you've had with God in the past.
I don't know whether I heard that from a radio evangelist or
read it somewhere but it had a real impact - I logged it - and looking back over one year and facing another it still encourages me.
When I hit ground zero and was wondering how I would find the strength to climb out of the mess a very old song from way back and long forgotten came flooding into my mind "with these hands
I'll provide for you" I just couldn't remember who sang it, and someone had hit the re.play button and it kept coming back over and over again. Eventually I put a post on my Facebook page and a spirit filled daughter of the Lord gave me the answer "P.J. Proby"
That's what He does to get through to a mind very focused on the messy stuff of life.
So I keep my journal and I log quotes and biblical text relevant to the day, strange but wonderful
dreams and the encouragement of fellow pilgrims. Time is zipping past so fast and rapidly approaching the winter of my life I can't remember the dates of my four - yes four accidents, and a dental operation from hell, so in a very practical way its also an essential record.
From a little gem of a book "God Calling" I recorded the following encouragement on the 8th February.
I am the Lord, your supply,
you must rely on Me.
Trust to the last uttermost limit,
Trust and be not afraid.
You must depend on divine power only.
I have not forgotten you.
Your help is coming.
You shall know and realise my power.
Adonai is surely Mighty to save.
A recorded quote from Keren Hannah Pryor.
And the footsteps of our Messiah and King are rapidly drawing nearer.
May we indeed be ready and prepared to meet our beloved Bridegroom - Yeshua.
Todah Keren.
May we be ever watchful.
SHALOM
