Psalm 66:9-10
9 he has preserved our lives
and kept our feet from slipping.
10 For you, God, tested us;
you refined us like silver.
Today my best friend and I were in the gym talking about how to tell the difference between an attack of Satan and a test from God. No matter if Satan is attacking us or God is testing us He will keep our path straight as long as we look to Him for guidance and proceed after His will in our lives. The place where we slip is when we take our eyes off of what God wants for our lives. We start feeding our flesh instead.
However God does allow "U" turns and He is forgiving. He will pick us out of the miry clay and set our feet back on His solid rock. We can rely on His promise that His mercy is new every morning. God wants us to get our lives together. God wants us to learn from our mistakes. He doesn't dangle them over our head to remind us of them but He does allow us to remember them so we can learn from them. He is a loving Father and wants what's best for us.
After convincing my friend that she does not need to settle for an abusive relationship ever again and she now knows how to detect one I am praying for God to put the best guy He has for her into her life at some point when it is His will. It seems I've seen a lot of women "settling" lately. Girls God didn't say He has "those" plans for you. God has great plans for you plans for hope and a future, plans for good and not to harm you! When we settle we are not trusting in God we are not realizing He has created us to be worthy. We are not in-line with His will and although He will pick us back up again... you may not like how He does it. Rest in God's arms and trust in Him don't make a move without His peace and blessed assurance.
Love you all!
2 Corinthians 4:8-9
8 We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; 9 persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed
