Everyone who runs toward him Makes it
Yesterday Jimmie and I went to see his sister Patsy. We like to cook extra food so we can take it to her to enjoy. Patsy prayed for Jimmie and I when we were lost, hurting and hurting other people. Yesterday as we were leaving she handed me a book that she had actually given me several years ago called MOUNTAINS OF SPICES, it is an allegory about human weaknesses and strengths comparing the spices in SONG OF SOLOMON to the fruit of the SPIRIT.
She said she has bought several of these and gives them to people every chance she gets. She is always looking for ways to express God’s love to others.
But the book I read before was called HINDS FEET ON HIGH PLACES, it is about God being present in every situation and has gone before us preparing the way where there seems to be no way and how He can be trusted and that sparked this thought in my heart.
The book HINDS FEET ON HIGH PLACES comes out of II Samuel 22
2 Samuel 22:34 King James Version (KJV)
34 He maketh my feet like hinds' feet: and setteth me upon my high places.
II Samuel 22: 17-31 Message
But me he caught—reached all the way from sky to sea; he pulled me out
Of that ocean of hate, that enemy chaos, the void in which I was drowning.
They hit me when I was down, but God stuck by me.
He stood me up on a wide-open field; I stood there saved—surprised to be loved!
21-25 God made my life complete when I placed all the pieces before him.
When I cleaned up my act, he gave me a fresh start.
Indeed, I’ve kept alert to God’s ways; I haven’t taken God for granted.
Every day I review the ways he works, I try not to miss a trick.
I feel put back together, and I’m watching my step.
God rewrote the text of my life when I opened the book of my heart to his eyes.
26-28 You stick by people who stick with you, you’re straight with people who’re straight with you,
You’re good to good people, you shrewdly work around the bad ones.
You take the side of the down-and-out, but the stuck-up you take down a peg.
29-31 Suddenly, God, your light floods my path, God drives out the darkness I smash the bands of marauders, I vault the high fences.
What a God! His road stretches straight and smooth. Every God-direction is road-tested. Everyone who runs toward him Makes it.
ENOUGH SAID!
I know this was a lot to read, but when we fully understand that HIs word is truly alive, it’s the living word and it is what brings life, hope, love and faith into action for us. God loves us , is for us and In us, if you have asked through Jesus! He is the only thing that brings true peace and satisfaction to the heart of mankind.
God is so for you it is Ridiculous!! He has already made the way where there seems to be no way!
Hope you are encouraged.
