I am sure it is because I have been audacious in my faith and in expectection of extraordinary because I know for sure, in this season of my life that God is able to do exceedingly and abundantly more than what we ask (Ephesians 3:20). Not only have I gotten to the point in my life when I know and understand the capacity and what an exceptional gift God's grace is, but I also have accepted my position as a princess, His chosen, the apple of His eye and the object of His affection. And I have postured myself to ask
I have, late in those midnight hours, beseeched God, not to remove my current circumstances or conditions, but to lead the way in navigating me through those conditions. Not only did I rely on God to be the GPs, sometimes just asking Him to get me out of the 'parking lot', but I relied on Him to finance the journey. No longer did I scratch my head and wonder how He was going to do it. I just knew that He would. I began to just exist in the understanding that if He did it last year, last week or last night, He would do it again. Even though many sleepless, tear filled nights I had heart-to-heart conversations with God and asked Him when He was going to do it, I never doubted that He would.
I filled my world with scripture confessions. I rejoiced and sang His praises through my tears. (1 Thessalonians 5:18) I thanked him in the midst of the storm because I knew, though my current condition had me sitting in the middle of a tornado, God would not allow a hair on my head to be touched (James 1:2). He would not allow my name to be defamed (Isaiah 54:4). He would continue to cover and keep me. He would have my best interest at heart. He would give me double for my trouble (Isaiah 61:7-11).
Well, I am happy to share my testimony that after nine months of walking through what most times felt like quiksand in my job and career search, my God has stabilized my footing and carried me to terrain that should be a cinch to navigate since He will be by my side (Isaiah 43:2). You, see, He's in on EVERYthing I do. The worse is behind me and the best is yet to come. Thank you, God for Jesus (2 Corinthians 8:9).
Since He will give us double for our trouble, I thought it only fair to worship Him to the second power.
