During the week, while waiting to attend a meeting, I was able to scan through my bible on my phone, going though Psalms, and then onto Proverbs. Then Proverbs 3! I was blown away how the Lord spoke so specifically to me, and was amazing and so encouraging that the Lord has me in mind, even though these words where written thousands of years ago.
"For the word of God is living, and active, and sharper than any two- edged sword, and piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and quick to discern the thoughts and intents of the heart" Heb 4:12
So I thought I would share what the Lord revealed to me, it may be of encouragement to some this read this entry. [Ps. I had treatment this morning, and so can't quite sleep yet.....] I enjoy the amplified bible, so most of scriptures are from this version.
Length of Days - The Lord promises us "length of days" and "old age" in his word. I want to stand on these promises for my life. So Proverbs 3:1-4 starts, My son, this talks about Him being our Father, the one who cares and loves us. Forget not my law and teaching, but let your heart keep my commandments. For length of days and years of a life [worth living] and tranquility (peace) [inward and outward and continuing through old age till death], these they shall add to you. Let not mercy and kindness and truth forsake you; bind them about your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. And so you shall find favor and good understanding in the sight of God and man.
The Lord wants us to honor and obey his teachings and commandments, as our Father. Also not forsaking mercy, kindness and truth in our lives.
Trusting in the Lord - Proverbs talks about us trusting God [with all thy heart!!], and not leaning on our own understanding! How often do we want to understand things. I have found myself researching my diagnosis, in order to gauge my prognosis, and when I do this, I limit God. He is not able to perform the miraculous, if in my heart I limit Him by my own understanding. Trusting in Him, in everything! Wow! My own understanding comes in the way of my faith in Him, but, when I lean on, and rely, and trust in "His understanding" or promises about me, it builds faith and trust in Him.
Acknowledge Him - "In all your ways know, recognize, and acknowledge Him, and He will direct and make straight and plain your paths". This scripture reminds me of Romans 1:16, For I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ for it is the power of God unto salvation to every on who believes. In everything we do, we need to know Him, recognize Him and acknowledge Him
Health to your Bones - This is the scripture, that God revealed to me, regarding my circumstance. Amazing!!! "Be not wise in your own eyes; reverently fear and worship the Lord and turn [entirely] away from evil. It shall be health to your [navel (kjv)] nerves and sinews, and marrow [and moistening] to your bones" Prov 3:7-8.
What an amazing scripture, God cares about my bone marrow. [This is where this cancer occurs, in my blood and bone marrow]. Not being wise in my own understanding and the reverent fear and worship of the Lord, including the turning away from evil, shall be health to my marrow and my bones. Wow!
My Prayer - Thank you Lord that you care for me, that you loved me so much that you would through your Word, think of me. Lord you knew me before I was conceived in the womb, and you set out your plans for my life. You know me better than I know myself. And You left me a promise in your word, that I would stumble on, in my time of need. Thank you!
There is some much more in Prov 3, to be continued ...........
