New Beginnings

5/25/2018

Walking through this life is such an amazing journey - especially when Jesus is leading the way.  He truly takes us from glory to glory to glory to glory, and sometimes you don't even realize it, but you look up and you're in a brand new season of life.  I can't speak for anyone else, but this has pretty much been the pattern in my life: I pray and ask for something and He gives it to me.  I didn't realize that in my asking and receiving there's more pruning and developing going on while enjoying that portion of the answered prayer that has led me into asking for something else in order to fully complete the first thing I asked for.  Anybody else? These are the promptings of God that He knew were necessary, but we didn't.  It seems to be a never ending cycle of asking, waiting, receiving, and starting all over again, but I recognize this is all part of the growth process as you continue to have to use your faith in a greater capacity than you did the last time.  You are being strengthened and stretched, and with every round it's easier to trust and believe Him, but it still requires more than you thought you had in you to stand still and see the salvation of the Lord.  I really wouldn't have it any other way because I recognize I'm being developed in each round and taken to a higher place, because my ultimate purpose and the reason I am here is much too much to have jumped right into it at the beginning of this faith walk.  Much pruning, molding, shaping, disciplining, instructing, and guiding has to take place, and each time it's on a higher plane.  Well, today I am yet at another one of those planes.  I am so far out here on faith that I know it is nothing but God keeping me!  I'm holding on to the hem of His garment like a baby holds on to their mother's skirt tail!  I know if I let go, I'm lost cause I can't see the step in front of me - I just have to trust and believe it's there!  New beginnings are always so exhilarating for me.  There's no longer any fear because I've come to a place of total trust.  There also has to be peace. No peace is an indicator that somewhere I've gotten off track. With peace working for me, I know if He did it before, He'll do it again!  I pray this will encourage someone to step out on that new level of faith today.  i challenge you to trust God on a higher plane than you ever have before.  It is by no means easy, but it is necessary if you want to reach your destiny!
