Sandra walked in to the sitting room, the TV set was on and very loud, she
looked around and saw the remote control lying on the dining table. She picked
it up and reduced the volume of the television just in time to hear her
husband's voice from the kitchen "I wanted it that loud please". Hi dear, she
managed and he responded with a cold grunt "hm'.
She was exhausted and tired of living like an inmate with this man. It was
this same man who had 'swept her off her feet' seventeen years ago. They have
built a lovely home and her heart blesses the Lord each time she considers her
husband's devotion to the Lord and to their family. They have a peaceful home
and three lovely children.
The way things have been going in the last few months have been from bad to
worse. She had asked a friend to join her in prayers. Each time they meet and
pray it is as if her prayers fuels the fire of a great fight. They can not seem
to agree on anything, even the slightest thing around the house. Sandra had
tried to speak with Frank about how things are but he seems to be in his own
world, controlled by some forces that Sandra can not understand.
Today is a nice sunny day and Sandra was hanging out with the children at
the park. She was pondering over the events of the last two weeks and her mind
is swirling wondering where she had missed it. Right choice? Right man? Has she
been living a dream? Is it all going to end? Will God not hear her
prayers?
A man of God in a difficult situation once doubted his purpose,what he once
preached... Luke 7:20
"When the men came to Jesus, they said, “John the Baptist sent us to you to
ask, ‘Are you the one who is to come, or should we expect someone else?’”
Sometimes our situations cloud our perception and we are tempted to doubt
even the word of eternal life that we have believe and handled. The only reality
is the Word of God, regardless of what ugly picture your situation paints. Do
not give in to the destructive suggestions of the enemy, hold on to the word of
God. Yes you may face storm while crossing to your 'other side' but with Jesus
in your boat you are bound to smile at the storm.
Welcome to July the month of completion and perfection, be assured that the
Lord will perfect all that concerns you in Jesus name.
Shalom!
