"My heart is steadfast, O God;
I will sing and make music with all
my soul.
Awake, harp and lyre!
I will awaken the dawn.
I will praise you, O LORD, among the
nations;
I will sing of you among the
peoples.
For great is your love, higher than the
heavens;
your faithfulness reaches to the skies.
Be exalted, O God, above the
heavens,
and let your glory be over all the
earth."
Psalm 108:1-5
Praise the Lord!! He is good!! :) God is faithful through our dark times. Our long days of trial. Our seemingly insurmountable troubles.
I'd had some darker days these past few months. Nothing huge. But still on-going little trials. Some things buried down so deep that I didn't really notice them; but they still affected me a lot!! O.O
God has been so loving, forgiving, and faithful to stay by my side even when I didn't run to Him first. Even when I questioned Him. Even when I complained. Even when I remained stubbornly bitter.
And now He has brought me to a season of rejoicing!! As a lot of you know, my first book is getting published very soon. This is one of my biggest dreams, and God has worked everything out to make that dream a reality!! I'm beyond excited!! ^__^
And no, that doesn't fix everything. But I'm just really excited and joyful right now . . . kind of feeling on the top of the mountain today. I still have problems and trials and more struggling to come, I know. Yet God has really been teaching me these days. More about Him. More about myself. More about other people who love Him.
And today I just want to sing!! :) :)
Praise the Lord, you His people!! Whether you're in the midst of the storm, or emerging on a calmer side. He is here. Stay close beside Him, because He's the only one who will always be there, who will always lift us back up.
Hoping to do a post on Insecurity in a week or two. And then on Condemnation/Forgiveness after that! So be on the look-out! :)
Blessings! <3
