God Has given me His Words of Wisdom so that I may know what I should say to all these weary ones.

Morning by morning He awakens me and opens my understanding to his will. The Lord God has spoken to me and I have listened; I do not rebel nor turn away.

Because the Lord God helps me, I will not be dismayed; therefore, I have set my face like flint to do His will, and I know that I will triumph.

Isaiah 50: 4,5, 7. TLB

          Many years ago the Lord gave me this set of scriptures to carry me through countless hardships that I would endure in the years ahead.  He also made it known to me that His Word [the Bible] was His instruction for me; and that if I would follow hard after Him, that He would bring me through life’s tough times and together we would triumph over it all.

          God’s promise to me was that morning-by-morning as I prayed He would give understanding to His way of handling life’s simple and difficult problems.  It was clear to me that this was not going to be an easy route to take, but, I set my face like flint to do His will, and I knew that with the Lord’s help I would triumph. And today, you can have peace about your future and those whom you love. Trust Jesus and His word as I have.

          I knew that in the smallest of detail the Lord was there for me. In the most difficult times of marriage and rearing two sons, He was there for me.

Psalms 139:1-5, says, O LORD, YOU have examined my heart and know everything about me.   You know when I sit or stand. When far away you know my every thought. You chart the path ahead of me, and tell me where to stop and rest. Every moment, you know where I am. You know what I am going to say before I even say it. You both precede and follow me, and place your hand of blessing on my head. This is too glorious, too wonderful to believe!  Read entire chapter.

          Yes, it sounds to wonderful to believe but I can say I am a living example of God’s never-ending mercy and love. He is always here for me when I cry out for help in making decisions whether it is for my children or needs for everyday life.

          If you are going through a test, trial or hardships of any kind be encouraged today. Jesus love’s you and wants the best for you. And if you say, “But Jane, I have prayed, done all I know what to do and nothing is changing in my situation.” I do understand. But do know this, God is seeing the place you are in and He knows you are weary. And He will strengthen you.

Precious one, just the other night the Lord came to me in a night vision. There He let me see my spiritual condition. I saw myself in the dream in my nightgown. I was so tired I couldn’t get up to shut the irrigation water off. I tried with all my might to get up and couldn’t make a muscle move. But, yet in my mind I knew that if I didn’t shut the water off there would be great damage.

To no avail, I could not get up. Every ounce of my strength was gone. I could not help myself. The scene changed. There was already a room filled with muddy water. Scene changed again. I was outside and saw that there had been a major flood. My response was, “Oh someone shut the water off for me.”  When we pass through deep waters and fire the Lord will be there to deliver us. See Isaiah 43:2 

To make this very short, the Lord let me know that He saw the attacks of the enemy in the past year and a half and that I couldn’t bear up under anymore (See 1 Corinthians 10:13.) And it was “He” my MOST HIGH GOD that shut the flood of the enemy attacks off. Their deceitful mouths had set their own traps. The battle had been won. It was then that I finally could see the light of a long dark tunnel. 

As David said in the Psalms concerning his heartache, it was good that he was afflicted. When he cried out to the Lord, the Lord delivered him from his affliction.  It was in the time of my affliction that I set my face like flint to do His will regardless what came my way and I knew that I would triumph even when it seemed I had lost all my strength.

This was just a portion of the dream the Lord gave me. I shared enough of it to let you know that you are very important to Jesus and HE wants to strengthen you in your time of weariness. 

The hand of the Lord has strengthened me for my new assignment. I am ready to go again. Are You?
