No testimony without the test
Good morning everyone,
Happy Wednesday. I just had to share this. We had the most HECTIC 2 days on Sunday and Monday. This really was where the rubber met the road in terms of this journey of renewing my mind. And then the Lord broke through:
I’ve been having a couple challenges in our real estate business. Then, to cut a long story short, I had someone threaten to open a case against me. They had no leg to stand on but it was super stressful.
Then we’ve had 2 people delayed in paying which has only added to the stress.
Edwina had an encounter with another parent which was really unnecessary and unpleasant.
Well, that Monday morning Edwina and I spent time leaning into the Lord, FIGHTING for peace. He reminded me of Exodus 4:4 "The Lord will fight for you. You have only to hold your peace."
Then Tuesday morning I felt like the Lord revealed what happened and 1 Peter 5:6-9 explains it perfectly. Here's what it says:
6 Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time.
7 Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.
8 Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.
9 Resist him, standing firm
We both humbled ourselves to address the situations with the respective people and engaged them with humility.
We then cast our anxiety onto Jesus, walking out in the peace He gives.
We were vigilant to the enemy’s tactics.
We stood steadfast holding on with faith.
3 things happened after this:
1. The challenges were resolved for both Edwina and I with the respective people.
2. The 2 buyers who haven’t been paying each came back independently of their own accord tell me their plan to pay, which will be soon.
3. We received a significant tax refund check in the mail.
All in one day! God is indeed our vindicator, our strong tower and refuge. Thank you Jesus!
I hope this encourages you today!
