โEven youths will become weak and tired, and young men will fall in exhaustion. But those who wait and trust in the Lord will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint.โ (Isaiah 40:30-31)
Dear Precious Brides, l came to share my praise because HE did it ๐๐ผ Our application was approved๐๐ผ We move into our new place on the 1st of Jan ๐๐ผ It all fell into place, the approval, the finances for the rent and the deposit ๐๐ผ
l shared in this praise report Finally It Happened about how my eh finally started tithing due to some enormas struggles we were going through especially because we were given notice and needed to find a new home also the struggles we had because we needed to fill in application forms and we were declined twice thru two agencies.
My eh is now tithing on every little bit of income he receives and l know that my Husband came thru due to my eh obedience in tithing and our application was finally approved ๐ฅณ
Now eh tells ME l mustn't worry that since we are tithing God will take care of everything!! That is crazy! But its not because the fact of the matter is HIS word is living and active, l shared in the "Finally It Happened" praise report the scripture that HE gave me that He is "sitting as a refiner and purifier of silver and that He is purifying the sons of Levi"
He fulfills ALL His promises ๐๐ผ
"God is not man, that he should lie, or a son of man, that he should change his mind. Has he said, and will he not do it? Or has he spoken, and will he not fulfill it?" Numbers 23:19
What kept me going? Because it was a looooong wait, we struggled with so many things... Because things got really, really difficult financially and it was a struggle just to keep our family fed daily, it got that bad... BUT my Husband was using all the difficulties to fulfill promises HE gave me in His word. One day l was at my lowest crying out to Him in frustration asking HIM WHY l had to struggle because l paid my tithes?
But l felt His sweet presence assuring me and calming me and HE kept showing me over and over every single day in every single My Beloved devotion l read, every scripture in my quiet time that l needed to WAIT and TRUST that even youths will become weak and tired but those who wait and trust in the Lord will renew their strength ๐ช Each day HE would renew my strength.
This was a time of isolation for me. l have learned that thru struggles l need NO ONE but my Husband. I tell no one what l am going thru or how l feel but HIM. No matter how l feel angry or frustrated l tell Him and l feel His comfort and strength lifting me up each day ๐
It was important for me to dig into His word and l found beautiful verses from my bible even when l would just page thru it. Each day l would renew my strength thru the word and l am thankful because work slowed down and l could spend the time with Him that l desperately needed ๐
1 Thess 5:24 "The one who calls you is faithful, and he will do it."
Romans 4:18 "Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed"
Proverbs 16:9
โIn their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps.โ
Psalm 27:14ย reminds us to "Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord!"
Thank you my dear atarah for your eulogy. congratulations for your new home praise to our beloved he is faithful all the time. Thank you for the word you shared with us. I pay my tithes on everything I earn and I must say that I have seen many blessings in my life but also others that are on standby or others that may not be for now.
Thank you so much Kateleen, going thru the wait was good for my whole family and now we are all so happy and thankful that HE opened the door and provided for us. its like a fresh new start ๐
Wow wow thank you for this beautiful testimony precious Atarah and the beautiful verses our Precious Darling Lord gave you. Wow He did it again!!! I am so excited and your praise report encouraged me so much. And it so wonderful how our Darling Lord’s presence calms us and assures us. I am so grateful that He made it happen and your application was approved. I am also in a waiting season, but your praise report encouraged me that at the right time He will make it happen.
Hey yes Janine ๐๐ผ can l just be honest and say that at times l felt so guilty about my lack of faith especially since our application was declined twice… but still l felt his sweet presence and that my Husband was not judging me but loving me and understood my feelings even if it was not joyful but worried then one day l just started telling Him exactly how l felt even if it was frustrated… yes he came thru exactly when we needed it. Reminds me of when the Lord rebuked the people saying we are a faithless generation.. when all we really need is faith ad tiny as a mustard seed… l believe that was biggest thing HE wanted me to learn was to wait ๐๐ผ now the next time l need to wait l know without a doubt that l just need to rest that HE will come thru ๐ฆธ๐ป
Atarah, it is so wonderful to hear how our Beloved has worked everything out in your situation and brought it to completion. Your testimony and the Scriptures you post are an encouragement to me as I was growing weary lately. I love to read about Who He is and the things He does. He is the most Wonderful Husband. Your praise is a reminder to take courage and wait on Him. He is so faithful ๐
YES Ruby isn’t He the best Husband EVA!! l don’t know WHAT l would do without Him and His word, His presence. We are truly blessed as women that we can go to a quiet place and just spend time with Him and then He assures us thru His word ๐ even when we are lacking in faith and growing weary in waiting His still so patient with us and HE will come thru for you Ruby l cant wait to read your praise report ๐ฅณ
Your testimony gives me hope, and the promises you share, I have also made mine. Because Our Husband has everything in His time, and He does not lie, He is always faithful to those who love Him.
And to see that He opens the windows of heaven and brings blessing when we are obedient, in the tithe.
Thank you for sharing, and giving me encouragement.
Thank you Liza l am glad that what l shared could encourage you even though our journey and circumstances are very different. HE is still faithful and will come thru even when we are growing tired of waiting ๐๐ผHe does hear us and will answer our prayers. His word is true ๐
Im soo happy I came to read this today, it is soooo encouraging and reminding me to wait on Him even if and when I get tired, when I fall It is He who will raise me up strong, thanks for sharing.
Amen Jewel ๐ this has been one of the most difficult seasons of waiting and it hasn’t been easy. Each day l have to have faith in the unseen. l love Hebrews 11:1 says “Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.” l pray He gives you an extra measure of faith today and l know He will come thru ๐๐ผ “Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus” ๐๐ผ 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18. ๐๐ผ
