Tested For Transition!

As I stood at my sink washing dishes earlier this week, I found myself reflecting on how good God has been to me this year.  That doesn’t mean I didn’t have some disappointments, some situations I totally didn’t understand, some circumstances that caused me to wonder if I was moving in the right direction  and some moments of wanting to just throw in the towel; but through it all God has been faithful, his loving kindness, mercies and grace still amazes me. 

I’ve truly been tested this year, the enemy has tried to scare me with a health issue, he’s come against my children, my finances, my mother and father’s health, and even my ministry, but somebody forgot to tell him, I’m a tither, so my finances will never be depleted and God will always rebuke the devour for my sake, so sickness may come, but it can’t stay because by his stripes my family is healed,  Hallelujah!  I am called, anointed and appointed by God, so the only thing he’s gonna get over here is the Word, no matter the situation.  See, somebody forgot to tell him my name is “Scrappy Doo”, I’m a fighter, a warrior in prayer, a praise and worshipper, a woman of the Word, one who fully believes the Lord is my light and my salvation whom shall I fear, the Lord is the strength of my life whom shall I be afraid. All the enemy can do when he comes against me is stumble and fall! 

Through my test I’ve learned to trust God even when I don’t understand, I’ve learned to stay humble, I’ve learned to watch and pray and pray some more, I’ve learned that every battle is not mine to fight, so I’m learning when to go to battle and when to let God fight my battles.  I’ve learned to allow him to guide my every footstep.  I’ve learned not to be afraid of their faces, but walk in total obedience to him and because of  these small things in honor of him and the cause for which he’s called me,  His words were, daughter you were just being tested for transition.

So if you feel you’ve had an extremely pressing year, just know it was the testing of your faith and it’s transition time!  Until next time, be encouraged!
