Its been so long since I've posted anything. Life happened and blogging became the last thing on my mind. As I begin to return to normalcy, I felt the need to reach out this morning. Normally, I prepare something first but this morning, I'm just typing as I go. Lord, help me.
Some of you may know that my brother suffered a stroke and heart attack earlier this year. While he is doing so much better and recovering well, it stopped not only him but our family in our tracks. Life has been way different than normal. There has been a sense of urgency to spend time with family, make sure my brother was okay, make sure my mom was okay, check on everybody and everything around me. Then a pressure settled in and I felt overwhelmed and frustrated. But, the God that I serve wouldn't allow that pressure to stay. The sense of urgency had to go also. And in the midst of all of that, God raised the standard by which I'm to life by.
"So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him. And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith the LORD." Isaiah 59:19-20 (KJV)
I came to encourage all this morning as I feel a sense to do so. When the enemy comes in, don't allow his tactics to break you. Don't even allow them to distract you. Instead, allow the Spirit of the Lord to lift up a standard. Allow God to come in and dry up the Brook that the enemy released. Don't fight against the Spirit of the Lord, but settle in Him. Dwell in Him and allow Him to dwell in you.
Be Blessed and A Blessing
