For so many years I have been color blind. Stuck in black and white. Then Grace opened my eyes, now I see the light.
God’s word tells us in Hosea 4:6,
“my people are destroyed from lack of knowledge.” If we don’t know the
things God tells us in His word, and believe them, and follow them, then
we are walking this world in our own knowledge, and strength, instead
of His. That’s the black and white where the enemy wants you to stay, so
you can be defeated daily.
Proverbs 1: 7
tells us “ The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but
fools despise wisdom, and discipline.” (NIV) So if you don’t take the time to
have a relationship with the Creator of the world, how would you know
all His beautiful promises? One of my favorites, (and there are many)
is Romans 8:37 “In ALL things we are more than conquerors...” 'All things.' Doesn’t that just move you to dig deeper, and soar
higher, and color your world?
The
same way an eagle uses the strong winds of a storm to soar up higher,
God wants us to do the same. Sit perfectly still, like the eagle does on
a cliff. Watching the sky fill with darkness, lightning striking
all around him, yet he doesn’t move. Not until he feels the burst of the
storm wind, then he dives into it to take him to higher heights of the
mountain, to safety. The storms of this life are
meant to harm us, but like the eagle, use them to soar higher, because God
wants to take you to great heights. "[you] thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good..." (Genesis 50:20).
Read Psalm 91 and find rest, “in the shadow of the Almighty.”
Matthew 6: 22 - See the world from God’s point of view.
By
Grace, Jesus opens our eyes so we can see the light. His love will
color your world, and make a fire burn in your soul, and it will move
you.
Now there’s peace running through my soul, and it moves me to share it with everyone.
Grace and peace to you
Kim
