♕ Today's Promise: "Behold, the former things have come to pass, now I declare new things; before they spring forth I proclaim them to you. Sing to the Lord a new song, sing his praise from the end of the earth!" Isaiah 42:9-10
So I've been thinking a lot about what is going on right now in the world with this Covid-19 pandemic. I know that God is in control and that He is sovereign and knows what He is doing. He is in all of this. I know that He is working in each individual life right now through this trial.
It is so amazing to think that He is working in every single person and everything works together to bring about what He wants specifically for that person. It's hard to wrap my head around how He does things. So I know that I was very depressed when this virus came out and I had to stop working and everything closed down. If I thought I was in seclusion before because I took myself away from a lot of people who didn't support me, I knew I was really going to be in deep seclusion when all this pandemic came about and I was very sad.
Little did I know that God used it to get me to know Him and His Son, my Beloved a whole lot better and develop a deep intimate relationship. Everyday I spend time praying and just being with my Heavenly Husband talking and having conversations with Him. I've grown to know Him on a deeper level and I don't mind not working anymore and instead just having special times with Him.
Another way I saw Him working in this is that yesterday I found out my former husband was going to move out of town with the other woman right before all this pandemic happened. He wasn't able to sell his business anymore because of the pandemic so he never moved. I believe it was God who used it to keep him here and not leave with her. Now she is no longer in the picture again. I think I had sent either a lesson or a praise report before saying she was out of the picture before and she was, but came back and they reconciled but now she is gone again.
I found out because my former husband went to go get tested for the virus about a month ago and he wanted me to be on the phone with him when he got the results and he had it. The Lord let it touch him for a reason I believe. He was very scared when he had it and he says that God taught him a lot in the 2 weeks he was secluded. When he told me he had it, he confessed that the other woman was living with him but that he was very unhappy and that they didn't even acknowledge each other at the home and didn't even talk to each other anymore.
Well, she had to stay for those 2 weeks because he exposed her to the virus and he told me that those 2 weeks were the worst ever for him. She was cruel and ugly and abusive to him so when those 2 weeks were up and the virus was gone, he had her leave his rented house. That was over a week ago. He took me to lunch yesterday because I told my Heavenly Husband it would be nice to go on a date with my former husband and he had my former husband ask me to lunch.
As he was showing me something on his phone a message came through from a different other woman! I have to say it discouraged me and I thought wow you really didn't learn anything in those 2 weeks of seclusion. I left with telling him that his happiness is important to me and if that's with the other woman then it was ok and that I had moved on and let go. He responded by saying that he wasn't ever happy with the other woman and that he has not been happy since we were together. He said he didn't know what was going to happen between us but that he knew God was working.
I know that he talks to a lot of other women through social media especially Facebook. It is his addiction. But I also know that God is faithful and that He's hearing me and knows what H is doing. I trust in Him alone and I know that no matter what happens my life is in His hands and He has nothing but good plans for him and I! God is in everything and He knows why He allows things. I trust Him!
Isaiah 54:17 "No weapon forged against you will prevail..."
2 Chronicles 7:14 "If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land."
Isaiah 42:9-10 "Behold, the former things have come to pass, now I declare new things; before they spring forth I proclaim them to you. Sing to the Lord a new song, sing his praise from the end of the earth!"
