Are you still standing?
I want to encourage you during this June 2023 blog. I have seen the goodness of the Lord, despite of how I was standing because the Lord is merciful, graceful and faithful. Do not ever doubt in whatever process you are with Him because He will meet you where you are, as long as you have surrendered your life to Jesus and maintained a relationship with Him. He will make it all work out for your good. The path you chose might not be the path He chose for you but because you have surrendered your life to His will, He will see you through it.
I visited my daughter for her college graduation in S. Carolina. Her graduation was amazing. When I was preparing to return home, a few things were not looking good. My second flight was cancelled; I was stranded in Minnesota overnight. There were no fights to LAX until the next day. I had to figure out my next move I contacted my daughter, she was on route back home to Minnesota, I was able to Uber myself back to her place, she has a locked location for a key so I was able to get in her house. While in her house, I was talking to the Lord asking what is happening why can I find rest, what are you saving me from? Sometimes we don’t understand and we might feel that the Lord is silent, know He is never silent, He is working behind the scene, what is important is how you are standing while times of uncertainty are happening, are you upset, are you seeking Him for answers, are you bitter, are you prayerful?. Normally I have a subscription for you-tube to listen to worship songs but my card was hacked, I tried updating but it was impossible, weird I thought. My daughter tried helping me we called Apple - nothing. I chose to say it is what it is, I laughed a little, Lord, you know my situation I trust you Lord. I read the bible aloud and got a couple of hours of sleep.
Arriving to LAX, right when the wheels hit the ground, I received a FaceTime from my son’s girlfriend. I said to myself, let me answer and tell her I will call her back. When I answered, I saw someone’s face telling me ssssshhhh quiet with her hand in her mouth, she then pointed to the image of my son and his girlfriend getting married! I immediately started crying in the plane like a crazy person. I watched them say their I DO’s and finally closed my phone. People around were wondering what was happening, I said my son got married and it is an answered prayer, a young lady behind me said PRAISE GOD, indeed PRAISE GOD!
When we remain standing even if we do not understand the circumstances, we are saying we trust you Lord, you are bigger than this, and you are stronger Lord, I will pray or sing and keep doing it until you reveal to me what is your will for my life at this moment. I strongly believe that if I did not have a good attitude, and allowed my heart to get angry, I might have not witnessed this huge blessing of an answered prayer.
Do you want a prayer answer? Seek Him and you shall find Him, keep on knocking He will open. Do not take for granted moments of uncertainty for they are opportunities for advancement in your life. Remain steady on your walk with the Lord, He will reward you!
Let us pray: Heavenly father reveal your will for our lives, gives us eyes to see and ears to hear. Give us your strength Lord to remain standing no matter what comes our way. We thank you in advance for answered prayers for you are faithful; we love you, Lord; in the mighty powerful name of Jesus, we have prayed – AMEN!
Isaiah 65:24
“It shall also come to pass that before they call, I will answer; and while they are still speaking, I will hear”.
