Embrace the Within no. 218

“After proclaiming the Good News in that city and making many people into talmidim , they returned to Lystra, Iconium and Antioch, strengthening the talmidim , encouraging them to remain true to the faith, and reminding them that it is through many hardships that we must enter the Kingdom of God” (Acts of Emissaries of Yeshua (Act) 14:21-22). Strength, encouragement, truth, and faith despite hardships are essential in Kingdom work.

I haven’t sat down and written in a few days. Some of that is circumstance in being out of town with unreliable internet service BUT most is my fault that it has been nearly a week without writing. It was nice to sit down and see this scripture from Acts looking at me today because it is a reminder of the strength, encouragement, truth, and faith I need in my journey. There will be hardships and temptations and snares and traps and struggles BUT through Jesus I can find His strength. As we walk together as His Church, we encourage each other with His Truth. My faith will grow as I rely on His strength in fellowship and communion with Him and His Church. These are my steps for aligning myself with His Way and His Kingdom.

“For he will conceal me in his shelter

on the day of trouble,

he will hide me in the folds of his tent,

he will set me high on a rock.

Then my head will be lifted up

above my surrounding foes,

and I will offer in his tent

sacrifices with shouts of joy;

I will sing, sing praises to Adonai.

Listen, Adonai, to my voice when I cry;

show favor to me; and answer me.

‘My heart said of you, ‘Seek my face.’’

Your face, Adonai, I will seek.

Do not hide your face from me,

don’t turn your servant away in anger.

You are my help; don’t abandon me;

don’t leave me, God my savior” (Tehillim (Psa) 27:5-9).

I have been waiting on Him. I am not quite certain if there is another way He wants me to walk BUT I know I am waiting and listening to hear what He has to say. He has led me this far in this journey and I have nowhere else to go except where He leads. So, I am going to patiently seek “His face” as the days and weeks continue. I know that He will provide the path and will lead me where I need to go. BUT I need to wait on His time while working on what He has for me today.

Grace and Shalom to your home.

I love you. I forgive you. Have a blessed and abundant day!
