My Journal Reflection

Somedays the weight of the world can make me feel so heavy. But I keep my trust in the Lord. I’ve found that the more I trust Him, the lighter the weight gets.

I’m reminded that during my daily life and time with Him, to seek His voice for guidance and wisdom. Often times the answer is right in front of me. Only when I listen to Him with my spiritual ears.

He calls us to find joy in listening, obeying His Word, and drawing close to Him—without doubting His timing. Sometimes, His timing is exactly what we prayed for. I can testify to this—I’ve seen Him answer my prayers in ways I didn’t recognize until I was standing in the very middle of what I had asked for. It’s happened to me twice in just the last three months. What I thought was a storm turned out to be God fulfilling the desires of my heart and sheltering me under His wings. I’ve been meditating on Psalm 91 these past few months; and now that I truly understand it, I’ve found rest in the joy of the Lord.

Nehemiah 8:10 KJV. “Then he said unto them, Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared: for this day is holy unto our Lord: neither be ye sorry; for the joy of the LORD is your strength.”

Knowing this I can sing 🎶 SWEET JOY 🎶 to the top of the mountain top. With gratitude and thanksgiving I will honor the Lord.

Amen
