I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not; I will lead them in paths that they have not known: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight.
These things will I do unto them, and not forsake them.
Isaiah 42:16
The Lord is with you.
Psalm 23 says that He is with you.
The LORD Jesus said,
Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
In my Father's house are many mansions, If it were not so, I would have told you.
I go to prepare a place for you.
John 14:1,2
Jesus would have told you if there wasn't a place for you.
Let this be your testimony.
When those who took Him captive spat all over The Lord's face, He was making a place for you.
When they bound Him in chains and beat the skin off of His back and body in the hot sun, He was preparing a place for you.
When they shamed and mocked Him in the streets and accused Him with witnesses that didn't even agree with one another, He was making a place for you.
When they pressed a crown of thorns in His head and laid the burden of carrying a cross that you couldn't bear to Golgotha, He was making a place for you.
When His knees buckled at the weight of the wood and the size of the task, He dropped to the ground as the man from Cyrene helped Him, He was making a place for you.
As they nailed His hands and feet to that cross, He was making a place for you.
When He was pierced through His side and blood and water came gushing out, Jesus Christ was making a place for you.
When He cried out in thirst and they offered Him wine mingled with myrrh, He was making a place for you.
When He said " IT IS FINISHED" and gave up the ghost, He was making a place for you.
When Jesus Christ was laid in a tomb with a stone rolled in front of it and heavily guarded by Pharisees and Roman soldiers, this was when He was making a place for you.
When Jesus Christ went to hell and took the keys, God The Father loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible for death to hold Him.
When God raised Christ up from the dead and sat Him at His own right hand in heavenly places.
Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, in that which is to come:
And has put all under His feet, and gave Him to be the head over all...
It was you who believed on His name that He quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins...
So if you are struggling with an addiction, if you are living a life that doesn't represent the character of the God who saved you, LISTEN.
He made a place for you.
This is your testimony.
All of your sin, shame, guilt, hurt and pain was nailed to that cross, your addiction was nailed to that cross.
Your next job, your station in life, your next meal, your automobile, your peace of mind, God knows where it is because He made a place for you.
The Father said,
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
It's hard to expect what you don't know about.
When you know that you are pregnant, then you expect a baby at some point.
Let me be the first to congratulate you with the news!
Jesus Christ went and made a place for you!
Thoughts of peace and not of evil.
Evil wants to remind you of where you missed it and where you messed up, but peace wants to remind you where Jesus Christ got it all right and made a place for you.
Holy Spirit brings these things to your remembrance.
The Lord made a place that you couldn't possibly make for your self, that's why He came.
Evil wants you to hold on to guilt and shame and share it with them so that they can continually condemn you with it, but God wants you to know that He sees it no more in His Son.
What will disturb your peace?
Meditating on what you can't do or what you believe that you don't have.
Thinking your problem and not thinking about who has solved your problem.
My beloved brothers and sisters.
Your testimony is that The LORD of heaven and earth has made a place for you.
Nothing can hinder that except you not knowing it.
He knows where your station and place is, your husband and your child, your next job and your next right relationship is.
He knows where your next meal is coming from and how your next bill will be paid, because it is Him who supplies all of your needs according to what?
Consider these scriptures today.
Jeremiah 29:11; Colossians 2:6-23
Still doing what he told me to do :)
Love Y'all
