trouble never comes to someone unless it brings a nugget in its hand.
as i thought about these words, i realized the truth in them slowly taking in the meaning of this statement. i looked back and saw pieces of my life and how these "nuggets" looked so good but in reality were so wrong. trouble doesn't always mean police and/or prison. trouble can be taking what seems better or easier rather than the "harder" way which is actually the better way.
i know people who have taken that "nugget"and had more trouble with destruction and devastation becuz they didn't want to walk where they should. i am one of those i know.
instead of letting truth and right be my guides, i chose selfishness and lies/half-truth be my guides. and what i thought was a good "nugget" turned out to be so bad, i lived in fear and loneliness. so much trouble becuz i chose to ignore what i knew to be right. instead of fighting and standing, i gave in and compromised. everything.
today i am 58 yrs old and walking thru my year of my divorce. what i thought was easier turned out to be harder. so now i am walking in the right way. it has been harder but at the same time easier. how? u ask. i know who i am. i know whose i am. this makes all the difference. i am trusting in my God to fulfill his promise to me. i am seeing proof of his love for me every day. my choice to step back from my will and way has made all the difference. i am actually happy even tho i have little. my life is much more peaceful since i let God remove the toxic things and people in my life. i am so much more now than i was when i did things my way.
trouble never comes to someone unless it beings a nugget in its hand. and today i do my best to refuse the nugget trouble offers. staying the course has opened my eyes to a better and easier way to live a full life. God's word promises that joy comes in the morning. so i choose to walk with my God and Messiah, they will walk with me bringing me peace along the way as i hold in to their hands thru the healing process of letting goof all that hinders me. facing myself i learn what i am made of in Messiah and see the strength i now have that causes my confidence in Yeshua to to grow. i know my journey has made me who i am in Messiah. i know Yeshua is who i will stay with. i now feast with him as i stand victorious over my enemy.
today i see myself feasting on the goodness of my God. the fruit and food is filling and good. i am at peace and content. i know my God will come thru.
all my trouble becomes my victory in Yeshua.
Romans 15:4 says this in the Passion translation:
whatever was written beforehand is meant to i struct Sandi in how to live. the Scriptures impart to Sandi encouragement and inspiration so that Sandi can live in hop and endure all things.
this means that when trouble comes, the nugget must withstand the words spoken by God. if the nugget crumbles under the weight of God's word, run away from it. but if the trouble withstands the weight of God's word take the nugget and place it in God's hands so he can help u thru the time of trouble. do not take the nugget back becuz only God can handle what that nugget represents. the trouble God walks us thru will bring glory to him and victory to us.
God never leaves us to walk alone. even when the feelings say different. grab hold of his promise to u and stay the course. learn how to walk on your knees and stand firmly in place not turning or looking around. the only thing Yeshua needs us to do is look at him, intently and full of purpose becuz God's promises r true.
what an awesome God he is!
