I once had a friend who quoted this to me all of the time, "If nothing changes, nothing changes!" To be honest it used to drive me crazy when she would say this to me because the truth is that change for me is frightening and even if the rut I am stuck in is uncomfortable, at least it is a familiar discomfort.
So now I find myself in a place of change. A place where the Lord has asked me to leave my comfort zone, my busyness, and to be still and truly let Him inside to heal the brokenness inside of my heart. A time to let Him pull up the deep roots that have entangled my heart for so long.
I love the Lord so much, and it bothers me that I seem to always end up back in the wilderness, grumbling, complaining and murmuring about one thing or another. It blows my mind that I am this way because I know how good God is and how much He has given for me to have life and to have it so abundantly. In reality, I have everything that I need and more but there is always one thing or another that seems to be lacking or unfulfilled and this is the snare that catches my foot and pulls me back in to the stronghold of doubt in His faithfulness to fulfill His promises to me.
As I read Psalm 33 this morning I felt led to pray it back to God and thought that it might minister to someone's heart as it has to mine. May God bless you and keep you close to His heart.
Dear Lord,
You formed my heart and You consider all I do. I can not be saved or escape anything by my own strength. My hope for deliverance can only be found in You. Your eyes are on those who fear You, on those whose hope is in Your unfailing love, to deliver them from death and to keep them alive in famine. I wait in hope for You Lord; You are my help and shield. In You my heart rejoices, for I trust in Your holy name. May Your unfailing love rest upon me, O Lord, even as I put my hope in You.
