DITCH, DISTRACTION OR DETOUR?

There are days I wake up and feel like I have accidentally found myself upside down in a hole. What is this? How did I get here? What is going on? The questions abound. But God abounds more. As I have uprighted myself over the past few weeks, I find that there are a few questions that run through my mind. Is this a ditch from the enemy?  A distraction that is pulling our eyes off the clear calling of God? Or a detour in God’s sovereign plan that is part of His clear calling? 

Knowing that the enemy and the kingdom of darkness want nothing less than to keep us from going to a place that means graveyard and is bound by the principality of death and destruction, we understand the battle we are in. But we trust in our God to have filtered all these things through His hand. For even if this is a ditch or distraction from the kingdom of darkness, our God can have all things turn out for good for those who love Him and are called according to His purpose. We are sitting tight in the presence of the Lord as we re-group and wait on Him. 

For this is truly about God’s faithfulness, God’s goodness and His sovereignty despite our circumstances. Let us trust and walk in faith with the God of the universe despite what is seen or not seen, what is hard or not hard, what is known or not known. Great is Thy Faithfulness….this song was given to my heart and since then I have had multiple people say this is the song that they have been prompted to give me. A clear message for all of us, it is all about God.
