Friday was my husband’s last day on the job. It all began when I was finally able to pray earnestly “The” Dangerous Prayer, Lord, do whatever it takes to save my husband. Scroll down or click here to read Friday’s Post or click here to read the dangerous prayer that I prayed two years ago.
Friday I shared some fantastic events. God reached out to assure me that He was in this trial. He wants me to pray and not worry. So many scriptures rush to my head as I am now walking this very real path. The years of Bible reading and writing the verses upon my heart have reach maturity. It is a profound time to realize all the preparation God has done to enable me to walk confidently down this road without a pit of fear in my stomach.
This is what God is doing in me at this time. But, look what is taking place in my husband.
Last week my guy rose early, dressed, and headed off to church with me. To shock me further, he joined me on Wednesday night for a small group meeting. Okay, something is seriously up for my guy to attend two “churchy” type things in a single week.
Can I get an Amen?
I have waited many, long years for this time. I have dreamed, prayed, hoped for my husband’s day of faith and this could be the time.
With this said, I have been here before. In 2004 my husband was on a quest. He purchased a Bible, attended the Seekers Class at our church and then…… nothing.
I was crushed and for a while I was hurt and angry, not with my guy (okay, I probably was) but at God. I couldn’t understand how He could have ignored the years of prayers I uttered. I was devastated because the moment of truth arrived and my husband chose to reject Christ. Pretty worrisome stuff!
Do you suppose this happened because God wanted to work more on me and perhaps birth a blog for us to share our thoughts and help one another? Hmmmmmm.
What I do know is that God continues to relentlessly pursue my husband. He will not quit. He will never give up; He desperately loves my stubborn mate and will never stop. Because of this, God still commands me to pray and never surrender hope.
NEVER!
I can only wait on the sidelines and see what unfolds in the months ahead. The Lord delights me almost weekly now with an intense intervention in our lives. As I watch the miraculous happen around me, I will share them with you. It is vitally important for us to encourage one another with our stories of God moving in our lives. So, I will keep typing if you will keep stopping. *grin*
The battle is not over but the battle is the Lord’s.
1 Samuel 17:47 All those gathered here will know that it is not by sword or spear that the LORD saves; for the battle is the LORD's, and he will give all of you into our hands."
Thank you everyone for your prayers, your words of encouragement and hope. Your words spoken for me are the jewels which glisten in my tiny crown that I place at the feet of Jesus as I thank Him for your friendship and love.
James 1:12 Blessed is the man (or woman) who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.
I pray that when your trial comes, you will consider me your friend who will walk side-by-side with you holding you up before our King. Have a fantastic week. I hope you see Jesus at work all around you and have an intense encounter with the Divine this very day. Be Blessed, Lynn
