His Grace is enough.

Today is a new day. It must be as I'm writing a blog again. It's only been 14 months. I'm not even sure where to start today. So much has seemingly been going on in the last 10 days. So there are two thoughts that were running through my head since last night that I could and should probably write about.

As we sang the words, "remember your children, remember your promises, o God..." I was struck with the thought - what promises am I asking God to remember? And God began to speak. I should have had an ipad to blog right away but I don't. What promises God? Not the generic promises that everyone can claim. Those are good to - but what promises are mine? Or at least even if the promise is the same what is the application in my life?

The conversation in my head echoes back to a conversation of a few days ago that turned my world upside down or maybe just brought me down to where I needed to be - a place I haven't been for a while and not sure I wanted to be. Remember your children. Remember your promises O God.

Am I hearing right. Is this going to work? What are the details? If I'm seeing the end correctly what are the details to be filled in to get from where I am to where I'm going... to where God is leading me. What obstacles are going to come up and how am I going to get around them, overcome them, beat them? Am I going to win this time? Or am I staring another failed attempt straight in the eye? Remember your child... Remember your promises...

Who will run this race with me? If it truly is the spiritual battle I believe it to be then to embark on this new journey or direction will bring hatred and attacks of the enemy. How am I going to handle that? Am I ready to face them alone? Or am I really not alone? Who is there with me?Remember your child... Remember your promises...

And then...

My grace is enough. My grace is enough. My grace is enough... for you.
His grace is enough. His grace is enough. His grace is enough... for me.
Your grace is enough. Your grace is enough. Your grace is enough... for me.

God gives grace to the humble and opposes the proud. What does the Lord require of you? To act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God. God desires a broken and contrite heart because that is the heart he can use.

More to come,
