It all started a few years back, when several things became so overwhelming for me, I couldn’t go anywhere in public. After several years in a row battling health issues, I developed a constant fear of getting sick. For most days, the struggle was about me not wanting to leave my house and so I stayed home for an extended length of time. This was mainly due to sensory overload among other things, and although my family and friends have tried to understand – it hasn’t stopped me from feeling like I’m alone and feeling like I’m disappointing them.
I guess to think about it, many things can cause difficulty in this life. Still, regardless of my many maladies, I knew I needed to find a way to rise above and meet the challenge – or else I would miss out on a lot in this life. I knew the path I was on was somehow blocking me and keeping me stuck in my situation, and I could no longer see how to get to where I needed to be. I also realized the solution in me having faith meant taking a risk, but not to travel the path in my own strength or for my own reasons. This is when the hopelessness of things would have kept me in despair, except that I made a decision to focus on my own relationship with JESUS. Yes it’s true, that after all the ministry opportunities in serving others I busily had completely shut out my own time with the Lord. This happens more often to believers than you think.
However, very Sweetly the Holy Spirit reminded me of a beautiful and sweet verse in Psalms that turned everything around. It was then, that I realized that a verse like this, had a specific destination – straight to my heart. HINT: This verse may look familiar to you, since it is on our ministry’s Home page.
Psalms 16:11 You have made known to me the path of life and in your presence is the fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.
Well, I am happy to report that nowadays I am getting out more despite the daily struggle – one errand, event and visit at a time. The Lord Sweetly shows me daily HIS Path for my life each time I Trust Him. HE directs me in my steps, and meets me (that’s right, HE comes to where I am) and fills me with an over the top kind of JOY from His Presence – and I find there are Pleasures at His right hand. What are those Pleasures YOU might ask? The Pleasures are anything and everything which lead me to walk toward this path of life for Christ, because JESUS now sits at the right hand of GOD.
You know, if you stop and think about it, God’s Word travels non-stop 24/7 just like the above verse did for my heart and there isn’t one place it cannot go, reach or travel.
Isaiah 55:11b says ~ so shall my word be that goes out from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty, but I shall accomplish that which I purpose, and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it.
This kind of Truth resonates in a verse like this proving there is Power in God’s every Word.
