“Teach me more about you, how you work and how you move,
so that I can walk onward in your truth
until everything within me brings honor to your name.
12 With all my heart and passion I will thank you, my God!
I will give glory to your name, always and forever!
13 You love me so much and you placed your greatness upon me.
You rescued me from the deepest place of darkness,
and you have delivered me from a certain death.“—Psalm 86:11-13 TPT
I was writing in my journal this morning and just recording and reflecting on some things that happened yesterday… praying into some things on my heart and on my mind…
And I was mid-sentence when I had to do a “…”
…because the Lord interrupted me with this thought…
“Sometimes the most glorious things come out of the most difficult hardships.”
…And then I looked at my open bible and saw it was not only open to Psalm 86:11-13… but I had scribbled little “light beams” bursting from this verse in my bible. ☀️
“Teach me Your way, O Lord;
I will walk in Your truth;
Unite my heart to fear Your name.
12 I will praise You, O Lord my God, with all my heart,
And I will glorify Your name forevermore.
13 For great is Your mercy toward me,
And You have delivered my soul from the depths of Sheol.“—Psalm 86:11-13 NKJV
He is faithful to teach us in a way that will teach us to walk in His truth, in a way that will “unite our hearts”…. transforming our lives…
“You rescued me from the deepest place of darkness,
and you have delivered me from a certain death.“
Sometimes the lessons we must learn are hard, sometimes the lessons we must learn might feel like they’re too much for us to handle…we might even feel like “we’re not going to make it” for a moment or two…
But we have a Rescuer!
We have a Deliverer!
Declare it, ask for the faith to believe it, through and through!
And He’s just right there. He’s right there for us to reach out to for help!
No matter how it feels, no matter how it seems.
No matter what situation you’re in…
He is right there with His outstretched hand…
We have a wonderful Teacher—a wonderful Father who teaches us His ways so that we’ll be able to find our way…that we can stay on His path for our lives…
A way that will lead us closer toward the Father.
A way that will lead us out of the darkness and into the light.
A way that will lead us out of the pit… and back into His arms.
He teaches us in a way, that we’ll be able to “get it” in our hearts, as He heals our hearts, and as He transforms our lives.
A way that will lead us into a place where we can radiate His glory…
As we tell His amazing story…. and we each tell it uniquely—with our “multicolored” —multifaceted lives!
“And I will glorify Your name forevermore…
For great is Your mercy toward me.”
“Look at what He did for me, He rescued me from the pit….. “but God”…. ✍?✨ I was headed for disaster and destruction, but I cried out to Jesus and He saved my life, He rescued me, and He took me under His wings, He took me close, and refreshed me, and He set me back on the path… He transformed my life.”
This is His dream for our lives… ?
He longs to be able to dwell with us, in such a way… that we might “radiate” His glory into the earth, as we tell His beautiful story… coming from out of what He’s done so uniquely within each of our unique, one-of-a-kind stories…
“…the LORD replied. “Yet as surely as I live and as surely as the whole earth is filled with the glory of the LORD.”—Numbers 14:20-21
“Lift up your eyes and look around. They all gather together; they come to you. As surely as I live, declares the LORD, you will wear them all as jewelry and put them on like a bride.”—Isaiah 49:18
“And blessed be His glorious name forever; may all the earth be filled with His glory. Amen and amen.“—Psalm 72:19
And sometimes…
“Sometimes the most glorious things come out of the most difficult hardships.”
…Testimony. ☀️?✨
Thank You, Father. Your will be done in the earth as it is in heaven!?
