The LORD Stirred Up, Hath Given, and Had Raised
Greetings dear and precious sisters-in-Christ,
Last night our visitor arrived, she has been coming every year for the last 13 years. She first started coming so that my husband and I could have some respite from taking care of his grandmother. After our grandmother passed away another reason was given that being she needed to celebrate her birthday in Hawaii. There have been many subtle changes in our lives over the last year and I'm praying that her visit with us will be a time of refreshing for her.
The title of my post comes from various verses in Ezra, the first, "the LORD stirred up" is found in Chapter 1, verse 1, the scene is being set, "the LORD stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, that he made a proclamation...", the second, verse 2, "The LORD God of heaven hath given me all..." and the third, verse 5, "...with all them whose spirit God had raised, to go up...".
Oh most Sovereign LORD the subtle changes and/or abrupt changes in our lives may we remember that it is You who stirs up and has given and has raised. For in every circumstance You are LORD. May we witness Your Glory and Grace in every thing.
Abba Father,
As we come before Your throne of Grace may we welcome the changes in our lives because You alone direct our ways and know our thoughts and You alone are the one who stirs and gives and raises and when we wait upon You during times of uncertainty may be wait on thee. I pray for each dear and precious sister-in-Christ that her heart be quickened this day and this week to see You in the midst of her changes. In Jesus Name, Amen.
