God is so good! He continues to make His presence known to me daily.
I had lunch with one of the new girls in my group, and she expressed a lot of doubt about God’s existence and goodness. As we talked, God spoke through me—saying things I had never even thought of before! It was like I was listening to His words just as much as she was. When I returned to work, I told Him, “That was all You, Lord!” What an amazing experience to serve our Most High God!
Later, in our Doctrines class, someone shared that she felt stretched thin and was asking for prayer for direction in her life. As she spoke, I clearly heard the Lord say, “I have already told her.” So I told her what I heard and prayed against doubt and fear—the things that try to steal the knowledge of God’s direction.
Afterward, we talked, and she realized she already knew what she was supposed to do! But she had let the world persuade her that there might be something better. That was pretty amazing too!
Today’s Scripture Reading
Today’s reading was in Daniel, and this passage stood out to me:
Daniel 7:12-14
"In my vision at night I looked, and there before me was one like a son of man, coming with the clouds of heaven. He approached the Ancient of Days and was led into his presence. He was given authority, glory, and sovereign power; all peoples, nations, and men of every language worshiped him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass away, and his kingdom is one that will never be destroyed."
He will rule with authority and power for eternity—Hallelujah! I am so glad He is my King!
A Confirmation from God
While talking with my classmate about how the enemy tries to tempt us away from God’s direction, I used the story of Jesus being tempted in the desert.
And guess what? That’s exactly what we were reading in the Hope Journal today—Luke 4:5-8!
"The devil led him up to a high place and showed him in an instant all the kingdoms of the world. And he said to him, 'I will give you all their authority and splendor, for it has been given to me, and I can give it to anyone I want to. So if you worship me, it will all be yours.' Jesus answered, 'It is written: Worship the Lord your God and serve him only.'”
Thank You, Lord, for this confirmation!
A Shift in Perspective
I was talking with Tom the other day and mentioned how there seems to be a shift in our perspective lately. The foreclosure date is getting closer, but I feel less and less worried or stressed about it.
I think it started that day when I decided I will not be shaken again—when I chose to focus on what God has called us to do.
Before, the scriptures I was drawn to were mostly about His faithfulness and trustworthiness. But now, I keep seeing passages that proclaim His power, goodness, and glory.
I am seeing His awesomeness more and more every day!
Thank You, Jesus!
A Difficult Evening
Tom and his sister came back from NY tonight, and we took her to R & E’s so she could visit with them. A & C came as well, and the evening started off great...
But unfortunately, it ended badly. C and R clashed, and R ended up asking them to leave.
Not good.
