Speaking on the phone with various individuals over this past week has been emotionally draining, to a certain extent.  However, I don’t mean to imply in any way that I am not up to the job, or not appreciative that the Lord is using me as His vessel to “help” these individuals.  It just can be taxing when trying to be the encourager and strong listener while providing insight and wisdom at once.  Without walking in the pastures of peace in God’s word, and help…it could have been overwhelming.  I said, could have been.  The reason why is wasn’t is one word…GOD.

 

 

This is where God comes in, as HE always does. His word, His love, His shield and His presence is what allows me to operate under adverse circumstances in a smooth peaceful way.

 

 

He is our ultimate provider, and makes provisions for all of our needs, should we accept His love and unmerited favor by acknowledging Him, through all things, and for all things in our lives.

He is the primary substance of which we predicate our entire premise in life…the overriding factor in all details, no matter how big or small.

 

There isn’t anything I cannot do with God on my side, nothing we cannot accomplish, or forge through with ease and good  conscience.  “What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?” Romans 8:31 NKJV

 

I find when I am coursing through a fast paced discussion that is hard pressed…and seemingly filled with venomous intent by the individual facing me – I  immediately find myself in “His pasture” feeding on His word in my mind and heart.  Which gets me to a level of peace and Spritiual essence, thereby changing how I perceive  the world.

 

Now on the other hand, His wisdom allows me to “help others” who come to me for info, guidance…recourse of actions they have taken, or should have taken.  He wills me to go forward through His unprecedented and Spiritual guidance.  I am much like a deer who is grazing in a field and exceedingly content, protected and walking in tranquil beauty of His works.  Now, if the deer should run across the highway, it would be out of the protection of that very field.  Devastating results can occur right?

 

Well, much is the way of our lives.  If we live within the confines of His word and His laws we are always protected in His field.  If we run rampant, and off course, much like the deer  who ran across the highway….our outcome also  could and will have devastating results.

 

I am pleased that the Lord uses me for His purpose, like helping my friends, being a counselor, and consultant for many.  He created us after all for His purposes, and His pleasure.  So, when He utilizes me…I am happy content, and need Him desperately like a deer pants for water.

 

So, Lord whatever the world throws my way–it’s such a comfort to know all I have to do is run to You in Your fields of comfort, joy, love and peace…

 

 

 

 

 

You are worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power: for you have created all things, and for your pleasure they are and were created. Revelation 4:11 KJV
