I sure hope that your May has kicked off to a good start. The heat is settling in quick around our parts. We've kicked off May with watching our softball girls win the District. Next week we start another round of ball. It's so much fun to watch these girls and especially our girl, Mallory. She plays centerfield. We were so proud of both teams that played against each other. They all, hand in hand gathered together as one of our girls prayed for the game and also for one of our young men that was in a horrific car accident and fighting. His name is Kaden if you can think to lift him up to our Lord. I had the opportunity recently to speak to a group of women at a ladies luncheon event at a local church. Oh we had so much fun. I wished I had gotten pictures of the beautiful decorations. We had a TEA PARTY and we each kept the cup that we drank out of it. Isn't she just lovely? Easter has come and gone but we sure have a great time with family. We gather each...
In reading Stormie Omartian's book......"Just enough light for the step I'm on" sure says a lot for us.
She says in one of her chapter's the following; Whenever we go through difficult times, we anticipate the coming moment when all the pressure is off, the worry has subsides, the healing has manifested, the sadness has lifted, and the pain is gone. We continuously look for God to take away the discomfort we are experiencing. But God wants us to know that even as we wait for those changes to happen, His light is there all the time shining into our darkness. He wants us to trust that, and open our eyes to see it.
The Bible says in Revelation 21:23; "The city had no need of the sun or of the moon to shine in it, for the glory of God illuminated it. The Lamb is the light.
Just as we trust the light of that one candle to show us the way step by step we must trust Christ to show us the way, step by step. After all, He is our Light! And He is ENOUGH light for the step we're on regardless of how hard that next step may be.
Hugs and blessings, Cindy

ReplyDeleteGreat analogy Cindy. I don't read a whole lot but actually read that book when she first came out with it as I was going through a difficult season in my life. Your post has been a great reminder for me. Connie Royals

This is a great reminder that, although we may not be able to see God's big picture, we just need to trust him as we take one step at a time. Have a great week, my friend!

OMG! I thought power went out only, (and just sometimes) in third world countries. Anyway, we have a power motor in our building...BUT, yes God is my main light, so I don't care when it goes away and there were no power motor in the past either, but God has been there, shining to me, my family and all of us!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this inspiring post.

I have been through those seasons of step by step light more than once in my life. It seems that the older I get, the more frequent they are. I love the picture you drew from the candle. You are so right, and God is so faithful.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing Stormie's quote today. It was perfect for a dear friend who is going through a horrific place. I've shared it with her and trust it encourages her today!
