Change the Wind, See it No More.


I prayed this morning that God change the direction of where I am going from rowing against the wind to change me toward the wind to running with the wind and gain ground. Please Lord, Change the wind.

I'm exhausted of this trial...O that I had wings like a dove, for than would I fly away, and be at rest. Lo, then would I wander off, and remain in the wilderness. Selah. I would hasten my escape from the windy storm and tempest.~Psalms 55: 6-8

Suppose if I figured this all out and reason it in my mind analytically I would have made God too small for my thinking is limited. There comes a time where you can't in your own strength anymore. It's ok to be weak, it's part of being human for it's there He begins to show His strength.

As I grow older I realize all the more we all need Christ in our lives. However, not many will choose to walk in that way. And although this trial may be hard, I am never alone; it's just my humanity cries out for strength all the more during those times.

Last Monday at bible study, I realized that we must tell of the things God has revealed to us to share and in sharing we are over coming. This trial has been long and very hard and there are many others fighting a spiritual battle, a flat out war! But I know the wind will soon have to change and oh the ground we will soon be gaining when it finally changes....I'm no perfectionist only I pray I can persevere this thing tomorrow.

As for today, I rest in knowing He's brought us through another day. May our hearts grow sweeter after a trial rather than bitter because the fight was so great and the victory so glorious to be too bitter of a person.

I don't know what I will be after this however I know already the dynamics have changed and it has forced me to change with it; for the better I'm sure because my perspective has changed it's view spiritually and literally. Some vision lost yet much more gained. Can He change it back to its original form..., Of course He can, just as long as long as my will is moved always with His will.

Perhaps also we are fighting a fight that includes others and not just ourselves. Perhaps we are fighting a fight for our spouse, our family, our friends and even our neighbors... Who's to say when we overcome, they do as well. A genetic health diagnosis in me can also effect my children, so we must press through the wind until it changes. And when I over come this diagnosis they do to.


Yes it's exhausting, but o' the victory we have in Christ Jesus when we finally overcome it and see the trial no more. May HE change the wind so we see that trial no more.
