God has been silent for me today. I have spent time with Him, listening and praying, but I don't have anything specific. I think sometimes God gives us these times with our own thoughts so we can reflect on where we truly are with Him. Today, I needed the time to honestly assess my own walk and where my heart has been. I am trusting, but it is a slow process to get myself back to fully knowing and believing His promises. It is one day at a time right now, and I'm okay with that. I needed today to just sit with my own thoughts and realize how far He has brought me on this trust journey in a quick amount of time. It is all about re-surrendering my own thoughts, ideas, and doubts. My trust had been shaken and now it is coming back as the Spirit prompts me with memories of promises fulfilled.
Psalm 100:5 For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations. I was prompted to read this verse and it was perfect for today, of course. All of Psalm 100 is praise to God. For me today, I am praising God because He was faithful in something He had revealed to me a while ago. Let me explain. Have you ever asked God for His strength? Not just strength, but His strength. This is something that I was prompted to do about a year ago, not to just ask for strength in general, but to specifically request His strength to be given to me. I know it sounds a little like a bit of rhetoric, but keep reading. In requesting God's own strength, I have noticed something tremendous has happened each time. When God bestows His strength within me, it is so much more than just endurance. His strength comes with clarity of mind, lightening of the spirit, and a depth of inner joy that cannot help but make me smile. I feel energized in a way
