A Cutting Edge

When times are difficult, it is tempting to think that I have left you and that I am not working for your good. The truth is, I will never leave you and I will perfect that which concerns you.

There may be occasions when you feel the journey you are on is too hard and you question my ways. You need to know that, within my Kingdom, there are tasks that require a greater level of skill and training. This is similar to requiring a neurosurgeon to operate on the brain – no one less skilled will do!

Today, Beloved, I want you to be encouraged that in times of difficulty, I am increasing your level of accuracy and skill for all I have for you. This way you will not struggle when the need for your expertise arises, but instead, you will mount up on wings like eagles, and soar in your God-given purpose!

Activation: Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal to you areas of your life where he has trained you in the past for particular tasks. Take a moment to reflect on how this training has helped you and thank him for all he has done. Then ask him to bring to mind a current area that he is helping you to grow in. Ask Him to remove any discouragement and to help you see your situation through His eyes. You may want to write or draw what he shows to you and share it with a friend, so they can pray with you and remind you of all that God is doing.

Psalms 138:8 (AMPC)

The Lord will perfect that which concerns me . . . 

Psalms 144:1 (NIV)

Praise be to the Lord my Rock, who trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle. He is my loving God and my fortress, my stronghold and my deliverer, my shield in whom I take refuge.
