You are my witnesses declares the Lord and my servants whom I have chosen that you may know and believe Me and understand that I am He. Isaiah 43:10
Have you ever accomplished something and wondered how in the world it was accomplished? With anything I accomplish that question is on my mind.
I have a dear friend who is always doing something on the computer. Very computer savvy! I, on the other hand am computer illeterate. I really don’t dabble on them too much. I usually do research and of course my writing but that is pretty much it.
One day while visiting Cassandra she guided me to view her blog. I remembered asking her “What in the world is a blog?” She had hers set up so wonderfully. I could tell that she really put her heart into it. I was amazed. She offered to help set one up for me but I declined. She made the comment ” Your writings would be great posted on a blog. You just would not believe how many people are on here searching“ That resided within my heart and my mind. I was led to pray over it. His answer: Isaiah 43:10.
I soon discovered that I would be taking a walk of faith. A couple days later she and I got together and began working on the “blog”.
We began with the name. After much thought I decided it would be He’s Still Working On Me. But as I continued in prayer I was led to Just Breathe.
As I was waiting in line at walmart, a long line I might add, I began to prepare myself to encourage the cashier. I knew if I was feeling frustrated she had to be too. That is when the Lord prompted me to create business type cards offering a word of encouragement and guiding them to view my blog if they were interested. People are all the time advertising their businesses what a great idea to advertise His Holy Word!!!! This was the beginning of a great ministry.
I had a great source pushing me and encouraging me. I was supplied with all the things that I needed for this special service. But as the weeks flew by, my writing begain to suffer, I lost faith in what I was doing and those cards of encouragement slowly came to a halt. My confidence had shortened and the presence of God in my life was not as awesome as it had been when I first began. I didn’t see God working in my life thus my faith faltered. Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1(NKJ) I wasn’t seeing so in turn I wasn’t believing. It is not faith when you walk in clear direction and understanding it is faith when the direction is unclear and you keep walking in search of understanding.
Every time I read Isaiah 43:10 I am reminded of my purpose and it is through my writing ministry that the Lord will show me exactly who He has scripted me to be . My faith will grow through this and I will know, believe and understand that it is He who leads, guides and writes my journey.
I am His witness and I will gracously serve Him and others the only way that I know how. Through His Word!
