Holy Spirit please lead my hand, will You?
Exodus 5
"Reason should always be exhausted before wrath."
Father,
I'm angry; i am hurt; i will not lie, i don't want to pursue any longer. I'm tired, I'm bitter, I'm wary. How long must this go on? This heaviness is so unbearable at times i-
"Why are you using your arms to carry a load meant for your back? You see, my son; i gave you a spine to support your whole body. Your arms weren't made to work that way. Your spine is. When things are heavy, remember to bear that burden on the right member. Hold fast and know these burdens are not without purpose. I gave you arms to lift, legs to walk, a back to bear burden, a heart to feel compassion, a mind to seek wisdom. Gird your loins and stand; it is not over yet... you all have work to do. Now stand firm, my son, and do it."
Thank you for these words, Father.
May we all stand strong in Your Holy Spirit and bear our burdens with the right member.
May we reason before wrath. May we use our heads when we ought and our hearts when we ought. May we not confuse the two as i have done. In Jesus name amen.
Please bless this bread, the body of Jesus Christ , Your Son. Given for us
Please bless this wine, the blood of the new covenant shed for many the remission of sins; the blood of Jesus Christ.
May we eat and drink unto remembrance of the burden He beared for us.
May Your Holy Spirit be with us and in us the more, Father. In Jesus name amen.
Amen!
I was thinking of the concept of May we use our heads when we ought and our hearts when we ought when reading Job and thinking about Job and his friends. I, too, too often do I misuse the head vs. heart.
I am so happy to hear from you again, brother. I hope all is well and may God bless you and your whole home with the Holy Spirit. May we grow more like Jesus together =). In Jesus name amen.
Thank you for your prayers and encouragement. I'm back but dialing down the intensity a little. God has been working in me, my wife, and our marriage for the past few weeks. He's proven faithful--and I'm sure the best is yet to come!
I am happy to know your family is being brought together by God's Holy Spirit to grow you all in love. In Jesus name amen!!
