My Grace and Truth Family,
The brought an astounding matter to light during the course of the week, and I would like to share it for our edification:
I found myself in the midst of several situations with thoughts pressing against my mind. The Holy Ghost brought back to memory things HE has taught us and gave the strength to trust our Lord to work in me, through me and for me—or so I thought. But while I was softly singing “How great is our God”, I heard these words come out of my mouth, “how great are you, Lord?” I was actually posing a question rather than making a statement. Then HE revealed to me that in one of those situations my confidence was not in HIS “IS-ness” but in my figuring out how I could make something work. Oh, how I appreciate the Holy Ghost LIVING in me! So HE brought me to repentance, and there I was “naked” before HIM!
I began to rejoice that I belong to HIM and to thank HIM again for the chastisement. The wonderful testimony is how HE strengthened me to trust HIM, waiting on HIM, in manifesting how HE had already worked it out. Then I began to sing, “How great YOU are LORD!”
Hallelujah!
In Christ Jesus,
