He is Faithful
"O afflicted one, storm-tossed, and not comforted,
Behold, I will set your stones in antimony,
And your foundations I will lay in sapphires.
"Moreover, I will make your battlements of rubies,
And your gates of crystal,
And your entire wall of precious stones.
"All your sons will be taught of the LORD;
And the well-being of your sons will be great.
"In righteousness you will be established;
You will be far from oppression, for you will not fear;
And from terror, for it will not come near you.
"If anyone fiercely assails you it will not be from Me.
Whoever assails you will fall because of you.
"Behold, I Myself have created the smith who blows the fire of coals
And brings out a weapon for its work;
And I have created the destroyer to ruin.
"No weapon that is formed against you will prosper;
And every tongue that accuses you in judgment you will condemn
This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD,
And their vindication is from Me," declares the LORD. ( IS 54:11-20)
God will vindicate me. God will bring justice to my heart. In every area where I have been afflicted he will bring peace. In every area where I have been defrauded and mistreated he will bring mercy. He will fight and he will win on my behalf. I need not fear.
I will see all of the goodness he has stored up for me. I will taste and I will see that He is good. I will not be put to shame.
I want to dream again. The impossible dreams that I dare not to dream. I want to hope again. Impossible hopes that I fear to consider. I want to be alive in my heart. I want to believe that all things are possible. I want to pray ridiculous prayers. Prayers that could only be answered by you and through you. Prayers that I could never get answers to by my own works or striving. I want to believe for more than I can see, touch, feel, know. I want to believe for the best. And to believe that I don't have to chase after the best. To believe the best can come and will come to me as a gift from You. You will give me the best. You always give the best and I want to trust that. You are a rewarder of those who diligently seek you. I want to believe you knows what best for me and you desire to give it to me. That truly, you are working all things together for the good of those that love you. I love you. You love me. And ALL things are working together for my good. Today didn't go as I wished it would of. I allowed fear, anger and doubt to affect my interactions with people and to steal my joy. I rejected out of feeling rejected. I ran out of anxiety and unbelief. But that is today. Tommorow will be better. Tommorow can be better. It can be a wonderful day full of your mercy and grace. God has a great plan for me. I can't miss it or mess it up. Oh, how comforting that is. I can not miss my divine moment. God has divine moments set up for me and I will run into them, crash into them, they will overtake me. I can not escape the goodness of God. I cant hide from the reality of his love and the blessings he wants to pour upon me. I am at the mercy of a merciful, loving, generous God. God, you are generous. No good thing do you withold from those who walk uprightly. You are generous. You don't just give a bit. You give more than enough. I want to believe in your generousity. You will not reject forever.(ps 77:7) You will give in abundance.
