God's Word

God is so good. When we find ourselves in the really hard places that life throws at us, He then allows us to get a little taste of heaven.

Ezra 9:8 (The Message)8-9 "Now for a brief time God, our God, has allowed us, this battered band, to get a firm foothold in his holy place so that our God may brighten our eyes and lighten our burdens as we serve out this hard sentence.

This is where we can rest in Him and be filled back up again. A place where joy abounds and where His peace that passes understanding resides. Where His grace allows you to walk it out victoriously. Where He carried me, held me in His hand high above the situation. It’s as if He walked it out, not me. Where the emotions couldn’t touch me. The strong tower, the place of refuge. I was untouchable. Where God gives beauty for ashes and oil of joy for mourning. Where there is a shield that deflects the negative thoughts and all I see is a miracle.
