There is nothing—absolutely no circumstance, no trouble, no testing that can ever touch me until, first of all, it has gone past God and past Christ right through to me. If it has come that far, it has come with a great purpose which I may not understand at the moment. But as I refuse to become panicky, as I lift up my eyes to Him, and I accept it as coming from the throne of God for some great purpose of blessing to my own heart, no sorrow will ever disturb me, no trial will ever disarm me, no circumstance will cause me to fret, and I shall rest in the joy of what my Lord is. That is the rest of victory.

"I will repay you for the years the locusts have eaten—
ReplyDeletethe great locust and the young locust,
the other locusts and the locust swarm
my great army that I sent among you."
Joel 2
That's why I LOVE this verse....what God sent...I LOVE this quote above...He is not surprised, He already knows the outcome...He knows the journey to get to that outcome...we just need to set our gaze at Him each day and take it one moment at a time if need be...sometimes the thought of hanging on for very long is overwhelming...but for this moment God I know You know, You are in control...God is God and I am not....no matter what our journey we all have to trust...make it more about God and who He is and not the circumstances that seem out of hand. praying for you!
