Hi everyone,
I was looking for something I need for work and happened to stumble across a pile of old notes/journal entries. Thought I would put this one here... its a real blast from the past... a very old treasure as its dated 23/8/1980 !
THOUGH HE SLAY ME - YET WILL I HOPE IN HIM! - Job 13:15
"When can we say the above? When we are truly convinced of His love for us. When we are convinced that 'all things work together'. Then we can really say this and know that He is lovingly working out His will in our life.
Jesus said, "verily verily I say unto you, except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone, but if it dies it bringeth forth much fruit." (John 12:24). When that corn falls to the ground it would probably get trodden underfoot - no-one would see it. It would seem so insignificant - that is except to God, who is watching everything and everybody. But in the end it is worth it because "it bears much fruit"!
When we feel that we are a tiny insignificent seed that has been dropped to the ground - when we feel that no-one sees us and even worse - they walk all over us, we should look up to the "Lord of the Harvest" and take root in the good soil and be fed by His Word and ask for the rain of His Spirit to refresh us. Then wait patiently for Him to lift us up at the right time!
He is watching and waiting lovingly for that fruit to be evident in our lives.
Psalm 37 & 1 Peter 5:5
Thanks for your time in reading this - I hope it's an encouragement :)
Till next time,
Love, Lynda
