A Lesson

3/19/2021

Psalm 32:8 "I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will council you with my loving eye on you,"

Sometimes God gives us clarity through a situation that we never expected. As long as we are willing to  stay sensitive to the lessons that God is trying to teach us, we will learn what is intended. For me, this week, a lesson came after loss. The loss was immensely difficult and the lesson buried under my grief. It took me days of tears and struggle to see the truth. The truth of my weak faith and my devotion to fear became crystal clear. I learned the truth about the lie of fear stealing my life and all that I could be doing for others, especially my loved ones. I learned that the evil one wants me to stay trapped in a perpetual state of worry even when I am battling it with all of my strength. I learned that I cannot battle it alone, I never have been able to. I need to release this area of my life fully to my Savior every day or it will continue to consume me. 

I am, as always, a work in progress.
