It was I think last thursday when I went out with Hannah for a walk. I need to take her so she could breathe some fresh air and at least let her feel the heat of the sun. While walking just a street away from our house I saw that there's a machine which ofcourse operated by a man digging the soil. I didn't know but for a while I have stared on what he is doing. He is digging the rock away for the soil to come out. Then I was reminded of a preaching in our church (Norway International Fellowship), that when God is planting a seed in us first He would take out the rocks (sins) in us in order to come out the good soil where the seed will grow strong and beautiful and bear fruits. I was reminded by the story in Luke 8:15 'The Parable of the Sower';
'But the seed on good soil stands for those with a noble and good heart, who hear the word, retain it, and by preserving produces a crop.'
The Lord has reminded me that He is still at work at me taking out the rocks in me. I was stunned by that moment because I'm still struggling with a sin that has been my weakness in these past couple of years. And then when we were walking still further I saw the horse racing track. God is still not finish with reminding me. I know it's Him telling me to run the race. It's Him telling me that no matter what I'm feeling at that time just continue to walk with the Lord and time will come and by the grace of Him the rocks in me will soon be gone. I remembered the bible verse in the book of Joshua 1:5, 9 where God said this words:
''No-one will be able to stand up against you all the days of your liife. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you, I will never leave you nor forsake you.''
''Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.''
I was encouraged by His words and the works of Him. God does not lack in anything, He will do no matter what just to remind us how He loves us so much. I am blessed, so much blessed by His love. All the Glory belongs to you Lord. And I will sing and praise you for all of my life in Jesus name. AMEN!
I love you with the love of the Lord <3
