God Knows Your Needs

I was talking to the Aglow Ladies a few months ago about reflection and how at this time of year it’s easy to reflect back on negative things more than the positive, for instance prayers that you are still awaiting answers to, healing that you are still believing for and yes that most important one – Boaz to still cross your path. (Or Ruth!)

It made me think about the journeys each of us take and how at times we are not too dissimilar to the Israelites who were travelling to the promised land, rather than reflect on what God had already done they seemed to suffer memory loss every time they were in need and lost their faith in a miracle working God, I mean here were a group of people who had seen some of the most awe inspiring mind boggling miracles and still they doubted God in their time of need, don’t we do that sometimes too?

Matt 6 v30 says “And if God cares so wonderfully for flowers that are here today and gone tomorrow, won’t he more surely care for you? You have so little faith”

So here is a God that cares for such a thing as a flower, so how much more does he care about us and our hearts desires, remember Gods word says he knows what we need before we even ask.

So keep talking to God and be persistent with your prayers and in all things give thanks. Give thanks for the very fact you have life and use your journey of waiting to learn from God, ask him to show you his heart and to act out of it, use your testing times for your testimony and keep on walking this journey reflecting on all that God has done and don’t lose faith, your Boaz could be around the next corner!

God is still the same God who parted the red sea so keep on believing as the best is yet to come!

How Will I Know?

I understand this pain. It is a normal defence to hurt. Yet we must process our disappointment and let God renew our hope and trust, so that we can give love another try. He promises that we have His protection when we step out but we need to get a broader picture of how God’s protection works. For instance, in my fear, I can pray for God’s protection to keep all men away until the right one comes along but is that really helping me in the long term?

Though God can keep away wrong types, we know God is more interested in the state of our hearts. He wants His protection to be absorbed and experienced internally so that it transforms us from the inside out and into safer people. He wants us to mature so that we will recognise what isn’t safe, what isn’t right and what is the best path to take and this will ensure our hearts will not keep being disappointed or broken. This is experiencing God’s protection from the inside.

Instead of saying ‘I can’t trust men, I don’t want to ever go out again, or I won’t date again until the right one comes along or I will never find what I am looking for’, take your disappointments and fears to God and let Him deal with our defences until you believe that you can get over this, you can give love a chance again, you can heal and you can have the faith that you will recover even when something good goes wrong because God said He will heal the broken hearted.

Don’t shut down and give up. Disappointment may have taken you by the hand but let hope take you by the other and move your forward past this place. It is not home.
