As I was reading through my personalized Verseability cards (see previous post), I came across this verse:
"Jennifer, the Lord your God, will make up for the losses caused by those things in your past that have brought you disgrace and harm." Joel 2:25
This verse resonated with me so much! One of the things that seems to weigh heaviest on my mind is our finances. I'm so thankful for the blessings and provisions that God provides us daily. I'm also never too far away from the pit of guilt and shame caused by some pretty poor financial decisions from the past. I'm working to stop that crazy cycle. We're working to become debt free. Progress is slow, but still progress. This week, though, I had a dream that was all about a scary financial place. I can tell that the enemy is trying to keep me in a bad place. Trying to keep me stuck in the rut of guilt, shame, and worry.
And then God spoke to me through this verse. A verse I didn't even remember ever hearing.
Praise You, Lord!!
I just had to share how incredible it is when God's Word comes to life and says EXACTLY what we need to hear.
Never underestimate the power of God's Word, friends!
Read it. Meditate on it. Pray through it. Memorize. Ponder. Absorb.
The more I'm in the Word, the more I want to be. It's so precious to me when the Lord takes time to reach out and touch me through it.
May we all make God's Word an essential part of our daily lives. Nothing else is as important.
