I Will Lift Up My Eyes To The Hills!!
“I will lift up my eyes to the Hills, from whence cometh my help - my help comes from the Lord, maker of Heaven and Earth” … “The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth and even for evermore.” Psalms 121:1, 2 & 8 [KJV]
Indeed my help comes from the Lord. He is the one that has been with me each and every step of the way over the last couple of years. He has given me the strength to endure even when I thought no more Lord, no more!!
It is the Lord who opens one door and closes others and brings us to the place that He wants us and for me, the place for now, is here in the Hills of Georgia, in Kennesaw. It is almost impossible to put into words the peace and presence of the Lord that I have felt since being here.
Most of this week has been staying here at home, resting and getting stronger from the events of last Sunday evening.
Last Sunday was a tactic of the enemy to try and put fear in my heart, that maybe I am missing the Lord but I know that I am not, so again what the enemy meant to use to stop me did not work, it caused me to draw even closer to the Lord and to find my strength in Him.
I know that the Lord is getting ready to open doors, to allow me to give an even stronger testimony about the awesomeness of God.
We really need to learn to lift up our eyes and look to the Lord knowing that it is from Him, that we receive strength to walk in His ways.
To know the Lord will watch over us and protect us even in the darkest moments. Even when we are under attack, He is there to comfort and strengthen us and bring us through.
Even last Sunday, when all the bleeding began and a voice kept trying to convince me this is it, your not coming out of this.
The enemy was trying to instill fear, but even at that moment, I was able to lift up my eyes as it where to the Hills, to the Lord and to draw from His presence the peace that passes all understanding and it carried me through.
And here I sit, almost a week later, at Starbucks, having my coffee and sharing about the awesomeness of my Father, who watched over me and brought me through.
Till later,
Paul
