Full

It has been a very interesting couple of months since I last wrote a blog post. Even now I don't have anything specific to write about  but God has been doing a lot in my life.

For the beginning of 2019 God gave me this verse for the year:
"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom..." [ Psalm 111:10]  And one thing He has been showing me how important it is to honour Him, and that REALLY, truly fearing the Lord will cause us to live holy lives.

The second thing God has been showing me this month is how rich and full He makes life!

This 'fullness' is not to be confused with busyness, or just when you're having good times.

Because in the last few months not everything has been good. I've experienced grief and loss, miraculous provision, Godly community, persecution, discouragement, encouragement, busyness and slowness, family changes, confusion/anxiousness about the future, worshipful nights, all sorts of highs and lows...

..but through it all I have been fully satisfied with God's working and presence in my life and the places, people and situations He has brought me to and placed me in.
 Real contentedness deep within that I've never known this well before, and it is so beautiful!


*I was about to finish off this post with the above line but God brought this verse from Isaiah 26:3 to my brain
"You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in You"

I found this particularly encouraging because the context of this verse within the book of Isaiah. Chapter 24 is describing impending judgement and devastation upon the earth and yet chapters 25 & 26 are praising the Lord.  Keep trusting Him! 

That's all for now!
