Weekly Reflections: My Heart is Preserved for Such a Time as This…
The Lord will preserve your “Yes.”
In the storms of life, that is when we are truly tested.
Will we continue to love God and keep His commandments?
Will we stay true to Him and follow Him solely without compromise?
Or will we waver and fall and give up?
But the thing is, God has given us EVERYTHING that we need in Him to succeed and keep going.
We can trust Him with our “Yes.”
He will take good care of it. He will take good care of us.
He will mold our hearts into a heart that looks like His.
He will change our wills to make sure they are in line with His.
He will rescue us from all harm and danger.
He will keep us from the lies of the enemy and the bad-intentioned stranger.
He will give us what we need every day
And lead us and guide us in every way.
He will transform our minds every day.
A mind renewal belongs to us every day. It is our heritage.
All the clutter, all the lies of the enemy, all the tricks of the enemy. All the schemes, mind games, etc., are all lies.
And when Jesus is on the scene, they all vanish and die.
To never be heard of or seen again
Instead, He molds us where we have tougher skin
He teaches our hands to war and our fingers to fight
Through Him, we already win
I am grateful for His preserving power in my life
I am nothing without Him.
In 2023 and especially, especially, especially in 2024, He showed me that He IS a Preserver.
I would have never known His Preserving power if I never went through the things I went through.
I would have never known His Keeping power
I would have never known His Comforting power.
Now unto Him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that I ask or think, according to the power that worketh in me.
God is truly incredible.
And He is my Keeper
He will keep you if you want to be kept
He is a Keeper
He is routing for me
He is routing for you
To keep going
To never give up.
In 2024, the Lord told me constantly,
“Keep Going”
And so I did.
And I’m a stronger fighter now.
My faith is stronger than ever before.
The Lord has shown up for me in my darkest moments
The Lord has delivered me every time
The Lord has always been present during trouble
“The Lord is my light and my salvation;
whom shall I fear?
the Lord is the strength of my life;
of whom shall I be afraid?”
The Lord is my Keeper
My Rock
And my fortress
I am NEVER in a desperate or dire place in Him
I am ALWAYS stable in Him.
The devil is a liar, and God is exalted.
Jesus, You are my Keeper.
I am confident in You, Jesus.
You have destroyed fear and given me faith
You have destroyed the voice of doubt and given me God-fidence in you
It’s not my power. The Lord is working in me.
‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ saith the Lord of hosts.
So, Jesus, I have everything in You.
The Lord will not only preserve Your “Yes,”
He will strengthen it.
Thank You, Abba
In the storms, in the fires, in the floods, He will make the “Yes” stronger.
A yes that no demon can snatch
(It can’t be snatched anyway).
A yes that defies the noise of the enemy
A yes that is impenetrable
A yes that is unstoppable
A yes that is strong in God’s strong hands
Unpluckable, untameable, undeniable
That is who I am in Him.
And my answer will forever be “Yes,” Jesus
Thank you for strengthening me Jesus, and thank you for strengthening my “Yes,” Lord.
In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
