A Promise

Just when you think you get a revelation from the Lord... you get to walk it.  I could have done without this week.  So far not so fun.  Our nation seems to be having some growing pains as of late.  People without a job, finances tighter than usual, stress levels out of hand and well the list could go on for days.  Me personally, dabbling in all of these, have come to a screeching halt!  So I begin to pray, "Dad I've done all I know to do, now what?"  Scripture says in Ephesians "... after you have done everything to stand." Ok well standing doesn't pay the bills ... or does it? "But Dad, I plead, things are being taken away and I don't know why. Have I done something wrong? I'll fix it!  Do I need to learn something? ( The answer always Yes )  I know nothing happens in my life that You don't allow. What is it so I can learn it and move on?!!" After a time of sobbing like a little girl who lost her best friend there is a moment of silence.  In that moment a bit of peace sneaks in and I realize I can stay in that moment or I can begin to think about what is hurting me so bad.  This time I decide to stay there because this place is familiar.  The little girl in me knows she is in her Fathers presents.  There is a hush and then a still small voice that says, " Seek first the kingdom Miki." In my heart I complete the sentence. "and ALL these things will be given to you as well."  You see He wants me to take of His business and He will take care of mine.  I know I can trust him.  Even when I don't see change.  So I need to do and then He will do.  He knows what "All these things" are to me.  I am beginning to write songs and that's new for me.  I want to encourage people to love like never before and to understand how real His word is.  May you be encouraged today knowing Your Heavenly Father will take care of your business.  Just take your hand out of it and be busy about His business and before you know it "It will ALL be given to you!"
