Still.... Faithful

Isaiah 61:7-11

⁷ Instead of their shame
my people will receive a double portion,
and instead of disgrace
they will rejoice in their inheritance;
and so they will inherit a double portion in their land,
and everlasting joy will be theirs.

⁸ "For I, the LORD, love justice;
I hate robbery and iniquity.
In my faithfulness I will reward them
and make an everlasting covenant with them.

⁹ Their descendants will be known among the nations
and their offspring among the peoples.
All who see them will acknowledge
that they are a people the LORD has blessed."

¹⁰ I delight greatly in the LORD;
my soul rejoices in my God.
For he has clothed me with garments of salvation
and arrayed me in a robe of righteousness,
as a bridegroom adorns his head like a priest,
and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.

¹¹ For as the soil makes the sprout come up
and a garden causes seeds to grow,
so the Sovereign LORD will make righteousness and praise
spring up before all nations.

This past month has been spent trying to settle into acclimated to city life here in New York and It has not been easy. I think for a moment there I got a little distracted by what was going on around my life instead of what was going on in my life. Let me explain clearly what I mean by that; sometimes we can get distracted by things that are just in front of us. But don't be moved by what you see "For we walk by faith and not by sight" 2Corinthians 5:7. Things that are around you, money, things that you want think you deserve but can afford, the glitches, unfortunates that happened in situations that you thought would work out, these things are around you life not in you life, these things are seen look out from in. But if you can just focus and see things from the inside looking out. Start looking at the glass half full instead of half empty. Realized that God is not finished, the battle is not yours, and that whatever you are going through just like a New York subway when you running late, here comes the light at the end of the tunnel. He may not come when you want Him, but he will be there right on time.
