Those blogs
just weren't dancing around in my head
this week as they usually do.
So here goes another round.
Thanks for not giving up on me.
I am reading,
not straight through but intermittently,
Faith Tried and Triumphant,
a commentary on the book of Habakkuk
in the Old Testament
by Martyn Lloyd Jones.
As I have stated before,
he has been my mentor for many years.
I have found in my Christian life,
when I am struggling the most,
God always takes me somewhere,
either in His word or a trusted book,
that speaks directly to what my problem is.
I always whisper to Him, "How did you know?"
And then I am ashamed because of course He knows,
I am His child
and He loves me with a love
I have no means to comprehend.
Waiting on God's Answer
"I will stand upon my watch,
and set me upon the tower,
and I will watch to see what He will say unto me,
and what I will answer when I am reproved."
Habakkuk 2:1
This is so amazing.
In the previous blog
I mentioned a tower
with a bright red telescope at the top.
In my struggle this past week
God gave me a beautiful way to remember
that He is in control of my circumstances
and a way to picture this vividly in my mind.
Climb up that tower,Cathy,
and set up a watch.
Gaze into that telescope
at the face of God
and wait for His response.
He is testing my faith right now.
He has provided precious words
and a stunning word picture
to help me remember what I have to do.
Thank you my heavenly Father!
