Repurposing

Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old.  Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it?  I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.                    - Isaiah 43:18-19  Whew!  It's been a journey!  While I am glad to be this far into it, I am saddened that not everything that the Lord has done was documented.  HOWEVER, I will share as He brings it to my remembrance.    I will be using this to post my studies that I share twice a month in church and also to share my personal studies as they arise and the Lord leads me to share them.   The grief and healing journey I have been on since my son passed from suicide is more of an in-person ministry right now as it is a raw and sensitive situation.  I am very protective over my son and his sisters and have an obligation to protect their privacy.

Daily Loaded With Grace


Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah. - Psalm 68:19

We live in a world that makes everything feel rushed and demanding, don't we?  It seems like half the time we’re just trying to catch our breath, keep the house together,  make the family dinner, not lose our mind, and hold onto Jesus with whatever strength we’ve got left, right?

And then here comes this verse reminding me that God doesn’t bless me in bursts.
He doesn’t only check in on me once a week and He doesn’t give me a spiritual refill only when I’ve earned it.

HE DAILY LOAD ME!

How does He load me?  

Well, He pours.
He covers.
He carries.
He supplies.
He strengthens.
He sustains.

And the beauty of it all?
Is that He's not a “once in a while” God…
He's a God-who-shows-up-in-the-everyday kind of God.

I needed this verse because there have been days, like today, where I’ve felt anything BUT “loaded with benefits.”

Days where I've felt drained.
Days where I've felt empty.
Days where I've felt tired.
Days where I've felt emotionally done.
And even some days where I've felt spiritually stretched thin.

And yet… when I look back, even on the hardest days, I can see fingerprints I missed in the moment.

Do you know what I'm talking about?  

A text at the right time.
Someone praying for me without knowing why.
Strength I shouldn’t have had.
A calm that didn’t match the situation.
A reminder that I wasn’t alone.
A breath I didn’t think I had left.
A moment of joy I didn’t expect.
Peace that made no sense.

Daily benefits don’t always look like “big blessings.”

Sometimes.....they look like God holding you together when you’re falling apart.

Selah.
Think about that.

And then there’s the second part of the verse, 
…even the God of our salvation.

He's saying.... that the same God who saved you back then...is the God who sustains you right now.

He isn’t just the God of your testimony…
He’s the God of your Tuesday afternoon when you feel like you can’t do one more thing.
He’s the God of your messy kitchen and your tired heart.
He’s the God of your grief, your healing, your progress, and your pauses.
He’s the God of your daily moments because He takes the weight and gives the grace.

If God loads me daily…then I don’t have to carry everything daily.

I don’t have to be strong every morning.
I don’t have to perform.
I don’t have to pretend.
I don’t have to have it together.
I don’t have to be the savior of my situation.

HE carries me......
daily.

Here's YOUR "selah" moment:

What if....the blessings you didn’t notice today were actually the ones you needed most?

What if.....the strength you had to keep going was God “loading” you?

What if....the peace you felt for even a second was His daily mercy?

He loads you DAILY.


Let Him.
