On the Wings of Eagles

A few days ago I was in a place of sorrow, knowing a chapter of my life was closing, perhaps permanently. After getting confirmation of that last night, and having a time of sorrow and prayer over it, I decided it was for the best. I am sad over the situation, but cannot be angry, even though part of me really wants to be (and say mean, sarcastic and hateful things). But that is because I am a human, and thankfully, I am controlled by the Spirit.

I read Psalm 13 yesterday morning, but it did not really sink in until last night

Psalm 13 (NASB)

13 How long, O Lord? Will You forget me forever?
How long will You hide Your face from me?
² How long shall I take counsel in my soul,
Having sorrow in my heart all the day?
How long will my enemy be exalted over me?

³ Consider and answer me, O Lord my God;
Enlighten my eyes, or I will sleep the sleep of death,
⁴ And my enemy will say, “I have overcome him,”
And my adversaries will rejoice when I am shaken.

⁵ But I have trusted in Your lovingkindness;
My heart shall rejoice in Your salvation.
⁶ I will sing to the Lord,
Because He has dealt bountifully with me.

I also recognized sin in my life this morning during my devotion time, and for that I am thankful.

I was not allowing God to fully work in my life, because I was trying to control the situation by focusing not on what God wanted, but on what I wanted, right or wrong.

Isaiah 40:31 (NASB)

³¹ Yet those who wait for the Lord
Will gain new strength;
They will mount up with wings like eagles,
They will run and not get tired,
They will walk and not become weary.

So now, I focus on God’s will for my life, and where He truly wants me to be.

And focus on the preparation for the next step in my life.
