Last week I was sharing about how God at times will suffer us to hunger. He did so with the Israelites in order to see what was in their hearts, "Whether they would serve Him or no." (Deut.8:1-4).
I have been experiencing this deep hungering over the past week and it is still going on, and will until the work within me is accomplished. This hungering deepens into places and ways as if being taken by the hand into a deep valley.
Lately, I have been feeling of being in a place of lowliness, worries began flooding my mind and flashing thoughts of a hundred "What-If's." I started sinking lower and lower until I felt something within that I recognized from long ago.
An arising within a place deeper than my heart, to get up and move in a forward motion. Something very soldier-esque that was developed in me over five decades that has produced an internal determination. It is a power that makes me get up no matter how hard or bad things are or look, or what is coming.
If you are sensing this kind of hunger God is aiming at something you cannot see. Trust yourself in God's hands. Maintain your relationship to Jesus Christ by the patience of faith. Then He will let you fly. Determination is a holy, glorious conquering power.
“Have you been asking God what He is going to do? He will never tell you. God does not tell you what He is going to do; He reveals to you Who He is.”
― Oswald Chambers
