• MAKING A RUN FOR IT!

  Welcome!

   

  I started my morning by running for a bus that I really, truly needed to catch in order to arrive at work (before everyone else left for the day!).  In other words, I was sort of, kind of running behind schedule.  I was one city block and a half away as the bus passed me by.  I began to make a run for it, the worse it could do was drive off without me.  By the mighty hand of God, I got to the stop and I caught the bus!  It was an amazing feat made possible by a glorious string of miracles that aren’t visible to the natural eye!  As I sat down, a young man said to me, “You don’t give up easy, do you?  I saw you when you started running for this bus and I said to myself that there was no way that you were going to make it.  But you did!”  I laughed & replied, “Well, I don’t always make it, but all I can do is try.”  In all actuality, I had no time to think about not having enough time.  I could not stop to decide if I should keep going.  I could not pause to entertain giving up.

   

  I thought about the many discouraging things that are plaguing my mind at this point and time.  No matter how tired I feel, how discouraging they are, someone is watching me.  Someone is looking for me to make it (even though they may not expect me to be able to).  Someone I don’t even know, or know about is counting on me.  And Someone I know (and must get to know even better) is doing the same.  Jesus Christ, who strengthens and enables me, is watching me, cheering me up and cheering me on.  I can’t give up this easily; I can’t give up at all.

   

  Be blessed by this devotional!

   

  MAKING A RUN FOR IT!

   

  Habakkuk 2:

  2 – And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.

  3 – For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.

   

  I praise You for deliverance that You have sent for me;

  I praise You for the way that at the present, I can’t see.

   

  I praise You for the tears that flow because I know Your hand

  That gently wipes them always seems to be at their command.

   

  I praise You for the pain because it’s something that You feel;

  And won’t dismiss as mere emotions but respects as real.

   

  I praise You that when I can’t see, I yet rejoice for I’m

  Aware the vision is yet for its own appointed time.

   

  But until it comes to pass and speaks, I am submitting

  To praise You that it tarries only ‘til the time most fitting.

  Be tremendously encouraged!

  Pam
