Wells. I have something different for you... (A change is as good as a holiday, right?) A guest post by my good friend Shanna! Thanks Shanna!
‘In reviewing our past history, having travelled over every step of
advance to our present standing, I can say, Praise God! As I see what God has
wrought, I am filled with astonishment, and with confidence in Christ as leader.
We have nothing to fear for the future, except as we shall forget the way the
Lord has led us, and His teaching in our past history.’
{CET 204.1}
This quote reminded me of what Jessica has been saying in
some of her previous posts {at the beginning of her blog} about prayer and how
we need to ask God for things specifically. But instead of just asking for
things we need to remember how God has led us in the past, so we can be
encouraged, and continue in our journey
heavenward!
In my past experience I can definitely see how God has
led me and my family. From buying and selling houses, (which involves moving
house many times!); living in a house in the process of being built, with humans,
who all make mistakes (including me!), and trying to stay close to the Lord. Even
though I sometimes lose my way and take my eyes of Him; I can still see his
hand! The trials that I have passed through, have only strengthened my walk with
Him, and even though it was hard, God put them there for a reason. With Mrs White I
can say, Praise God!
We need to remember to keep our eyes on
Jesus. We might lose our way, but I would like to encourage you, as soon as you
realize that you have made a mistake, to turn your eyes back to Jesus!
Don’t even hesitate to come back to Jesus just as you
are, as soon as you see your need! Jesus is waiting for you; will you
come?
Look back on your past experiences, see how God has led
you in every step, and with Mrs White say Praise God!
Nice thoughts, Shanna. :)
