♕ Today's Promise: "Who among you fears the Lord and obeys the word of his servant? Let the one who walks in the dark, who has no light, trust in the name of the Lord and rely on their God." Isaiah 50:10
~ Bernie in Slovakia
Dear Brides, this chapter ["Trust and Obey"] is full of truth and opens up completely new horizons for us. The lies of this world have put us in the situation we are in, we have forgotten that there is God - Almighty. He invites us to finally begin to trust Him and give everything to Him. If we fail, we ask Him and He will give us generously.
As I read this chapter, I wonder if I really live what I believed, or if it is obvious in my life. The chapter reminds me not only to believe, but to be truly obedient to His Word, to really use the principles in real life. Especially the principle of agreeing with the opponent causes me problems, to remain silent and not to defend myself. I am really trying, but of course I fall and I am always grateful to Him that He lifts me up and forgives me because I am weak, but He is strong.
It is encouraging for me to read that second and subsequent marriages are often doomed, but on the other hand, my parents are here ... For my father, this marriage is a second marriage, the first wife divorced him because of another man. I have always perceived my parents' marriage as good, although now (after learning in RMI) I see shortcomings there, but after all, even after 38 years of marriage, they still profess love and look satisfied. Well, I know this is not the way to go. I do not condemn my parents and I thank my Beloved that even though I have this example in my family, I do not want to follow it. I know He has a plan with every one who participates in my Renewal Path.
I will recall my favorite verse, "Loving words are the honeycomb of honey, the sweetness of the soul, the health of the bones." I will beg my Husband to strengthen me and so be glorified through my weakness.
While trying to restore my marriage (when I was still married), I made the mistake of going to see my husband and still confessing my sins and asking for forgiveness. Even though he said that he forgave me everything, it was not enough for me ... Because in my imagination it should lead to reconciliation and subsequent restoration, but it was not so. Now I know that it was not at the right time and that my heart was not changed enough to be ready for recovery. I also disagreed with my ex-husband when he told me to move on and that I was beautiful and would definitely find someone. It hurt so bad and I just said it's not the way of life I want to lead. I couldn't be quiet or agree with him.
Dear brides, I encourage you to seek the face of your Beloved Heavenly Husband, to seek intimacy with Him. Know that whatever you do in a worldly way will not succeed in the long run. Believe in His Word and be obedient, and even when you fall, just take His hand and He will guide you through all that He has given you in life. Yes, He allowed it to allow you to come closer to Him because He loves you so much. Let's run to Him!
"Loving words are a honeycomb, sweetness for the soul, health for the bones." Proverbs 16:24
"Who among you fears the Lord and obeys the word of his servant? Let the one who walks in the dark, who has no light, trust in the name of the Lord and rely on their God." Isaiah 50:10
There are indeed many many verses in this chapter that I love so much, but these have appealed to me the most, and I long for them to be reflected in my life.
