Smiling

I have to admit that I’ve been in a season where I’m rarely happy! It seems I wake up miserable and go to bed the same way. When this happens there is always a reason and I always get to praying. But guess what? It’s an immature Christian who thinks he will be happy all the time. Sorry, but that is not the case. But this morning I woke up with a smile on my face.

Sometimes we have to trust God in a way we have never trusted him before. I was about to do something (email someone) and I prayed and asked God if I should do it and right when I was about to send it my internet cut off and I knew God was saying a no.

Then the Lord told me that I really need to understand that He has the situation under control and that I don’t have to fight! That can be one of the hardest things to do when you have been “fighting” for a long time. But God told me He has this and He told me how He had my situation and that is what made me smile.

For the longest the Lord has been giving me this particular scripture (see below) and I think I finally got it. This is for someone; let that situation go. You don’t even need to respond anymore. God has it under His control  Hands off! Let him handle it.This time do it for real!

Exodus 14:13-14

New King James Version (NKJV)

13 And Moses said to the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which He will accomplish for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall see again no more forever.14 The Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace.”
