The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath
are the everlasting arms . . .

are the everlasting arms . . .
Deuteronomy 33:27a
I have been weak and weary, not only from the oppressive heat and humidity, but moreover, from the intense spiritual warfare which has been taxing my mind, body and spirit...
Yet God has been faithful to carry me through. For even in my tiredness and exhaustion the grace of God shows itself to be sufficient.
Like the popular poem, "Footprints in the Sand," just when I think I am all alone and I could no longer press onward, I instead discover that the "everlasting arms" of Christ are holding me up.
But aside from this, I believe the Lord has been revealing to me that it is time to speak as well as go even deeper into enemy territory.
Frankly I cannot say that I am ready for any new challenges and assignments. My fatigue has been keeping me in my comfort zones and glad to be standing on familiar ground. Yet this is not the Lord’s way.
Jesus has been preparing me, I am certain, for more service. Still I confess that in spite of the divine call, I never feel quite ready nor capable.
Nevertheless, like any Christian, I must step out in faith. I must hope the right decision was made, and then give it all to the Lord.
As one verse from the book of Proverbs says, "Commit your works to the Lord, and your plans will be established (Proverbs 16:3 NASB)."
