For the Lord has called you back from your grief—as though you were a young wife abandoned by her husband,” says your God.
Loneliness (of a place) the quality of being unfrequented and remote; isolation.
My power went out, so I am here at the library, out of my comfort zone writing this week’s post. Isaiah 54:6 starts by saying “For the Lord has called you back from your grief. As I wrote this it was like I saw myself being rewound for a second, but to what moment is what I have to ask myself. Grief, we have all experienced it at some point and time in our lives and although others close to you may be experiencing it at the same time, each person experiences my look, sound, and end differently. Have I felt alone? from the very start but for many different reasons. One is that no one close to me has experienced the death of a child due to murder, and no one close to me has had to tell their children that their sibling is not coming home. But also, no one close to me knows what it felt like when I woke up that October day calling out his name having to then remember he was killed weeks before.
~But God has kept me~
The Bible at times when reading makes me wonder because there are so many parables where the Lord is talking clearly but unless the Holy Spirit gives you revelation, you can often sit there thinking Lord what is it that you want me to take away? Isaiah 54 starts with “Sing, O childless woman, you who have never given birth! Sometimes and I can only speak for myself I don’t realize how much I have and should be grateful for. I spoke of the feeling of loneliness, but ask myself was that truly what I was truly feeling? I am in a season of my life where God has been changing the way I deal with disappointment. I am in a season of my life where the Lord has been teaching me to let go of control and my manipulative ways. But I am also in a season of my life where, Sorry I just had a #Selah moment as I was just flooded with so much emotion that it brought tears to my eyes as I heard him say strongly “Trust Me. So, was I lonely? Maybe! but one thing is for sure is that he was and still is right beside me.
Psalm 34:19
Many are the afflictions of the righteous, But the Lord delivers him out of them all.
~Grief came to destroy me, but my father upheld me with his righteous right hand~
Isaiah 41:10 NLT
Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand.
Lord your word says in John 7:38″ Anyone who believes in me may come and drink, For the scripture declares; Rivers of living water will flow from his heart. Feeling alone is a hard feeling especially when you’re actually experiencing trials alone. Everyone needs someone that they can lean on or talk to. You are the God that sees and hears. Genesis 16:7-10 And the angel of the Lord found her by a fountain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain in the way to Shur.8 And he said, Hagar, Sarai’s maid, whence camest thou? and whither wilt thou go? And she said, I flee from the face of my mistress Sarai.9 And the angel of the Lord said unto her, Return to thy mistress, and submit thyself under her hands.10 And the angel of the Lord said unto her, I will multiply thy seed exceedingly, that it shall not be numbered for multitude.
In a past post called “The Same God,” I spoke about a variety of gifts that God has blessed his people with to carry out his will. And something just crossed my mind, and it was that we have so many people living on this earth that no one should ever be alone much less be lonely. Matthew 11:28 “Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. God, I pray in the name of Jesus that you would send someone like you sent the angel to Hagar. To encourage and uplift their spirit, remind them that you do hear their prayers. I speak Isaiah 54:13-14 over your children; 13 And all thy children shall be taught of the Lord; and great shall be the peace of thy children.14 In righteousness shalt thou be established: thou shalt be far from oppression; for thou shalt not fear: and from terror; for it shall not come near thee. I bind the spirit of oppression and loose the spirit of freedom, and this is only something that you can give. I decree Isaiah 54:17 No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord.
Send helpers now King Jesus
Send encouragers now Mighty One
And break down every stronghold Jehovah -Nissi I seal this prayer with the authority that was given to me in Luke 10:19 in the matchless name of Jesus Christ.
Tomorrow will mark one year since I made my first post #crazy look what God did. Joshua died and I felt like my life was over. One whole year I still can’t believe it but Isaiah 43:2 says When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee. God created a way when I did not think it was possible Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.
I love each one of you and pray that you continue to draw strength from the Holy One King Jesus.
