♕ Today's Promise: "They will not live in fear or dread of what may come, for their hearts are firm, ever secure in their faith." Psalm 112:7
~ Sara in Turkey
Hello ladies, this is a continuation of a series of praises about my Restoration Journey that I want to share with you 🙂
Delayed obedience is also disobedience.
Once I heard Erin said that sometimes we don’t have peace because we are not obeying Him. Brides, please remember that my situation is unique as yours are. I am not saying that you should go and contact your FH (former husband) or EH (earthly husband) but to go to Him only and always.
Well, I confess that the fear of not walking in His way can paralyze me, I fear doing anything against His will or time, so sometimes when He asks me to do things that are hard, I act like Gideon, asking all sorts of confirmation instead of acting by faith. But He is so merciful and patient with me, He knows how slow I am so It was necessary for a big earthquake and a tsunami to finally make me contact my FH since it happened in the place he was living.
Even with that, l was still afraid of contacting him, maybe he had blocked my contact, maybe he would have remarried, maybe he had died, all of these things went through my mind, and instead of just sending him a phone message I opted by sending him an email Well let’s just say that I never heard back from him.
I thought that I have finally stepped in and do what I felt the Lord was telling me to do. I have finally contacted me so now it was in the Lord’s hands. Later on, you will understand what was happening on the other side.
I continued my life but that feeling still remained there, and from time to time I would struggle immensely, I didn’t know what else to do, so then I begin to ask Him again what He wanted me to do, and I fasted, prayed, got alone with Him because that for me was craziness. It should be him contacting me not the opposite. We are called to live in peace with everyone, but that was not what I was feeling.
So finally I surrendered, if "I perish then I perish", not sure it was very appropriated but that was the verse in my heart, I was tired of protecting myself from pain and rejection, I was tired of resisting evil or bad news if I was to live the fully abundant life that He gave me I would need to be courageous and have no fear.
There is more to praise ladies, hope that this portion may encourage you to not fear but to Always trust in your Heavenly Husband!!
