Great Petra song and a fantastic reminder

For some reason this song is stuck in my head this morning. I've been praying about some things and maybe this is one of God's answers. I just need to continue to "Walk by faith, not by sight".

Proverbs 27:1???

I got a message that on this day, God wants me to know...
... that I cannot wait anymore.

The moment has finally come. I have no choice. I have to take that step now. Now. Not tomorrow, not in an hour, - Now! If anyone else is reading this, they would be confused. But not me. I know exactly what we mean. Do it. Now.

Answer to prayer???

I got a message that on this day, God wants me to know...
... that God has an important purpose for me, and made everything possible for me to succeed.

That's not to say it's an easy purpose, or a convenient one. It might very well seem hard or even impossible, but it only looks that way. The truth is that one day I will look back and see how all the pieces fit together. And how my life has been a complete and utter success.

This is something I'm struggling with right now.

Something to ponder...

I got a message that on this day, God wants me to know...
that decision is only wishful thinking until you take that first irreversible step.

I can tell myself that I have already decided, that nothing now can stop me, but if that step backwards is so much safer than step forwards, what will hold me true to my path when the going gets tough? Sometimes, the right thing to do is to take that first irreversible step, the one after which my cannot go back. And right now, for me, is one of those times.

I got a message that on this day, He wants me to know...that faith is exactly what it takes to get through uncertainty.

Faith is not necessary when I know how things are going to work out, - that's knowledge. It's in the time of unknowing that having faith is what sees me through to the other side. Faith is what gives me strength. Faith is that light in my heart that keeps on shining even when it's all darkness outside. Now is the time to keep that faith alive!

I got a message that on this day, God wants me to know...
... that it is time to finally forgive myself.

I've carried the guilt, the shame for long enough. I've kept your wounds open for long enough. The time has to come to let go, to heal. Keep the lessons and let the pain heal.

Today...

I got a message that on this day, God wants me to know...
... that doubt is the greatest gift, - it's the space between two certainties.

Any change on its way from one place of stability to the next one, passes through a period of doubt. Your old perspective has to disintegrate, and doubt comes in for a visit - even if only for a moment, before the new perspective takes root. Doubt is your greatest gift, because from doubt you can go anywhere.

This morning...

Faith is no irresponsible shot in the dark. It is a responsible trust in God, who knows the desires of your hearts, the dreams you are given, and the goals you have set. He will guide your paths right. -- Robert Schuller --

Thank you, Lord. May I remember this today and always.

Hannah, thanks for this one, too.

Thanks, Hannah...
