Hold Tight to God’s Hand

Happy afternoon, beloved,

I sit on the deck and watch children playing in the lake and find it might be a good time to work on my blog. We’ll see. I want to make that list up of the blessings and rights of the meek/gentle…

Some caring soul asked how I was doing today..and I finally got my words in order. I find myself in a spot where I need to grasp onto God‘s hand, hold tight, not look at the sight, what I see, because what I see frightens me, but I believe with all my heart God asks me to do is see with my soul, my heart, my innards that He is renewing moment by moment. Walk by faith. It is a true statement. And when He asks me to hold out my hand, He won’t our family fall. I know it. I just have to read these Scriptures and make this list.

Join me on this beautiful, windy day? 🙂

Wait..just heard a song on Pandora…listen, beloved..Praise Him with me?

I”m going to break all  the laws of  writing and just make the list from the blog from earlier today. So find the verses in my blog earlier. 🙂

First of all, blessing: happy, blithesome, joyous, spiritually prosperous—with life-joy and satisfaction in God’s favor and salvation, regardless of their outward conditions. So no matter how it looks, God is asking us to have joy and satisfaction in God’s favor and His deliverance. I’ve heard it said if God never did another thing for us than send His Son, it was enough. Yet, He continues blessing.

1. The example of Moses as meek and mild above all men. Check out what God said about him in Numbers 12:  And He said, Hear now My words: If there is a prophet among you, I the Lord make Myself known to him in a vision and speak to him in a dream.⁷ But not so with My servant Moses; he is entrusted and faithful in all My house.⁸ With him I speak mouth to mouth [directly], clearly and not in dark speeches; and he beholds the form of the Lord. Why then were you not afraid to speak against My servant Moses? Mercy, mercy, mercy. Can you imagine? I gotta make another list…the Lord made Himself known by..

• mouth to mouth
• clearly
• not in dark speeches
• he beholds the FORM OF THE LORD!!!! I mean seriously, folks, can you fathom that? The LORD the God of the universe speaks with him. Now the prophets? They get visions and dreams. Which makes me think..but I won’t go there today..

2. They who  [diligently] seek for, inquire of and for Him, and require Him [as their greatest need]...so we are talking about the meek again. So,we need to keep seeking,   inquiring of and for Him and require HIm as their greatest need. Greater than food, gas for your car, money for your accounts, friends for your kids, health, whatever it is…require Him more. Need Him more. Oh, I love that. And what happens? What does Psalm 22 tell us? The poor and afflicted shall eat and be satisfied; they shall praise the Lord!

3. They who  seek God, inquiring for and requiring Him [as your first need]…when I was starting on this whole faith journey as an adult, I want to tell you with young children with seizures, four major car crashes in two years,  losing a house to bankruptcy and foreclosure because of overwhelming medical debt and issues my first response when a crashing wave hit was to run to the phone for help or send out an email for prayers. Now, before I go any further, there is nothing wrong with either of those responses…but when it was my first response, I was not inquiring of and requiring Him as my first need..I wasn’t seeking God. Another thing, God met us amazingly and triumphantly through those years. He was our Provider, Defender and Abba. And He has taught me…to allow my  hearts revive and live! [in Him]!! He did it so many times and still is triumphant God. 🙂 It does my heart good to remember. 🙂

4. The meek shall inherit the earth… Psalm 37:11 says the meek will inherit the earth and delight themselves in the abundance of peace. That promise makes me stop and think. We live in a world with so much fighting. What a glorious world it will be when we live together in peace.
5. The Lord is lifting us up…the downtrodden, the humble. Oh, Lord we lay it down and we lift up our hands!!

Are you falling down at the feet of Jesus? God be praised if your soul is lifted like mine. May God be praised. 🙂 Pray on, beloved. Pray on…
