psalms 20

I love when God provides in real time and when He speaks to me in ways that are unmistakably Him. Amdist discouragement and questioning yesterday, I opened my Bible to this very passage. What an amazing, loving and tender God. He so overwhelmed and moved me.

May the Lord answer you when you are in distress; may the name of the God of Jacob protect you. May He send you help from the sanctuary and grant you support from Zion. May He remember all your sacrifices and accept your burnt offerings. Selah. May He give you the desire of your heart and make all your plans succeed. We will shout for joy when you are victorious and will lift up our banners in the name of our God. May the Lord grant all your requests. Now I know that the Lord saves His anointed; He answers him from His holy heaven with the saving power of His right hand. Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God. They are brought to their knees and fall, but we rise up and stand firm. O Lord, save the king! Answer us when we call!

to be

The time has come. I cannot delay. I must begin now to cultivate a change in mindset. This is to be a delicate thing - graciousness in the midst of defense. How does one shrug off prey? The trick must be to exude what deters you. It's as vital to see yourself from the outside in - as much as from the inside out. I know what I've done in error, and I know the brand of woman I want to be. I will pursue her without end.

class

I have a feeling. This may be the thing that God wants to tear in two with me. I don't have to be afraid. I don't have to be anguished. There is a slot that only I can fit. I'm certain that this is something God intends to destroy in me - once and for all - in the context of love and commitment. Of course, He'd never give me an ordinary love that wouldn't challenge these thoughts. He wants to conquer every part of me that believes the lies. My role is to be me - and to be exciting and loving and giving and arms wide open, to offer all that I am with everyone I encounter. I want to be that woman! I have been created to fill this particular void in this world. And I don't have to shrink away from being unique and un-trendy. I offer something insanely relevant just as I am. My role could literally be nothing other than what it is, as it is.

evidence

I've been pondering the ways in which God prepares a person for the largeness of their destiny. I love when He uses pop culture to reinforce what He has in mind. Sometimes without a "picture" of what's to come, one doesn't know what to look for or how to dream its possibilities. The two people above, one fictitious and the other real, serve as two examples of God placing before our eyes what He sees as best for us. I'm reminded again that all creation is displaying the evidence of God's presence and desires for His people.
