I Am In This

 The word I keep hearing from God… “I Am in this.”

I Am in the loneliness.

I Am in the unknown, the Dr appointments.

I Am in the challenges of Covid and the vaccines.

Personally, I am in the middle of confronting my fears.  Whether it be medical issues with the cardiologist.  Or when to get the Covid vaccine or if to get it at all. Or in the loneliness of not seeing or communicating with people.  He says, that He is in it.   He knows. He understands. He is beside me and guiding me.

So this week, Isaiah 58:11-12 - NLT has been coming to my heart.  “The Lord will guide you continually, giving you water when you are dry and restoring your strength. You will be like a well-watered garden, like an ever-flowing spring. Some of you will rebuild the deserted ruins of your cities. Then you will be known as a rebuilder of walls and a restorer of homes.”

1. The Lord says he will continually guide me.  I tend to overthink my decisions, thus being unable to make any decisions.  Time to stop and listen.  If he is guiding me then I have to trust that my mind will also be guided by him.  

2. He is the Living Water that restores my strength.  Living water will never run dry.  There will be no dought with Him.

3. Once again here are the words rebuild and restore.  To me rebuilding walls mean protection, community protection, and restoring homes is the personal safety and security we need.  Protection, safety and security.  Some of us will do this.  I do believe that is my answer for the vaccines.

This morning I read Psalm 23:1-3 - NLT “The Lord is my shepherd; I have all that I need. He lets me rest in green meadows; he leads me beside peaceful streams. He renews my strength. He guides me along right paths, bringing honor to his name.”

Once again, this confirms to me that He is guiding me, giving me strength, rest and peace.  I can rely and trust that he has me covered,
