Stand and Watch

The hardest thing to do in any battle is to stay put and wait for victory. It is human nature to take matters in our own hands and try to fix any and every painful situation. But, we can't stand without hope because then we quit looking for that something more. That something that brings peace and joy. I am working very hard today to keep my mind on the good things that God has done for me and trust Him to provide a good plan for my future. I am fighting the ghost of Christmas past that wants to fill me with sadness. So, I put on some worship music and began reading a book by Chuck Pierce: GOD'S UNFOLDING BATTLE PLAN. Billy read the first part of the book. How do I know this? He always underlined books with a yellow pencil. He would underline the sentences that were meaningful to him. When I read page 9 in this book, I saw the familiar yellow highlighted words and felt like they were straight from Billy, God and Chuck Pierce to me, Jennifer. Chuck writes that he felt the Spirit of God was saying this to him." There will always be wars and rumors of war. There will be many battlefields that unfold in the days ahead. Your future will be determined by how you trust Me on the battlefield. Lean not on your own understanding. In the midst of your conflict, I have a plan! There are some things that are still hidden from you. Trust Me so that in My perfect timing I can manifest why I called you to stand." He is saying to me today. " It will all come together in My timing. I love you, Jennifer, Brad, Carol,Hayley and anyone else that reads this blog. It WILL all come together. It will ALL come together. Just stand and watch and see the salvation of the Lord." I must respond to the Lord. "Yes, Lord I will trust you on this battlefield and all the ones that you send me. I know you won't give me more than I can handle."
