Pull Back The Curtain and Reveal Your Truth

 















The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.  Proverbs 9:10

Lord, 
So many times I find myself asking for wisdom, for clarity; and it starts with fearing You.  Not fearing You as in scared, but as in a reverence, a remembering who You are and who I am in relation to You.  It begins with learning to know You.  Yes, Lord, show me who You are.   Amen.

Life holds many moments of clarity but it also holds many clouded and unclear moments.  One morning I found myself in one of the unclear moments, asking for wisdom and clarity.  And as I was taking my walk, the clouds parted a little bit to reveal the sun, in the same way I ask for the clouds of doubt, pain, and disappointment to parted so I can see Your Son.

Learning who God is, we learn who we are and the power that is ours, the wisdom imparted as we surrender to Him.  Matthew 11:29 tells us where Jesus invites us to yoke with Him and learn from Him.  The result is - rest for your soul.

God's whisper of truth to our souls in the unclear moments that we walk through.  Because of this, we can take the next step.  The truest faith is taking the next step when all we do is trust the One who loves us so, Jesus; with our hand in His to learn more of Him.

In our pain, we learn of His comfort.
In our weakness, we learn of His power.
When the load is too much, too heavy, we learn of His strength.
When we stay with Him, we learn He is faithful.
Reading the Bible, His truest words, we learn the truest truth for He is Truth.
As we read His words, we learn His names and they tell us who He is.
When the way is unclear and we stay we Him, we learn we can trust His heart is good towards us.

Thank you, for the words of Your Greater Truth, the ones that matter most. 

I want eyes to see a You, a heart that believes You, and the strength to trust You. 

The clouds returned their cover over the sun, but that doesn't change that the sun is not shining, I just can't see it.  In the same way, the clouds of pain, disappointment, and doubt may assail me again, but that doesn't change the truth THAT YOU ARE STILL PRESENT. 

Thank you, Jesus. 
Your daughter, Judith

Convinced of the Father's Love

  But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us.  for I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.  Romans 8:37-39 In Genesis when God created the world and man, He declared it good, very good.  Man had not done anything yet to prove or earn God's love.  God loved and declared goodness because that is what He saw in His creation.  God loved and declared goodness because that is who He is - period.  You and I will do nothing to alter this and Paul declares the reality of this truth for himself.   Paul writes the words, declaring them for all of us to believe. There are so many things that break this truth for us - the brokenness us humans carry that affect others, whether by simply being human or i...

Choosing to Believe In the Midst of Disappointment and Finding Life

Image
  "I am the resurrection and the life; the one who believes in Me will live, even if he dies and everyone who lives and believes in Me will never die.  Do you believe this?"  John 11:25-26 These words were spoken to Martha as she met Jesus, who was coming to their place after Lazarus had died.  Jesus arrived four days after Lazarus was laid in the grave.  She met Jesus with her disappointment, after all, she had sent for Him to come.  She met Him, saying, - "Lord, if You had been here my brother would not have died."  And in the midst of her disappointment she held faith - "Even now I know that whatever You ask of God, God will give You." And then Jesus reveals a bit of Himself to her with the words that He is the resurrection and the life and she responds to Jesus' question - "Yes, Lord; I have come to believe that You are the Christ, the Son of God and He who comes into the world." Our journey so often holds this same tension - the tension ...
