This evening finds me in a very different space.
I awoke and pondered some of my favourite Scriptures on 'rest' and 'peace'. I want to sustain a walk in that 'rest of faith' of which we read in Hebrews.
Some of these verses are Heb 6:19, Mt 11:28-30, Phil 4:6-8, Is 30:15, Is 32:17 and Ps 46:10.
When I carry these in my heart, God's grace enables me to experience the truth of faith that is a rest.
Having completed my first three days (and counting) of my Daniel Fast (see First day). There were still head-aches, although they did disappear for a while. Apparently, sugar withdrawals can led to head-aches and feeling down. https://www.healthline.com/health/sugar-detox-symptoms
I'm sure all kinds of withdrawals do! lol
A Good Day
The day was underway early, as I had to leave and attend a course I'm doing. Tomorrow is the last day. It's been fun doing it with my youngest son. We are both wanting to get new businesses off the ground and the course is to help us get the best start.
I always do the 'mum thing' and take a healthy lunch for us. I didn't have the wrap with ham, but shared the salad and coleslaw. Today, I added a little cheese (<30gms) and a boiled egg, along with my. The worst of wanting to have something other than what I was committed to seemed to have passed today.
I visited a close friend after-ward. We shared a coffee .It was the first coffee in three days and the last again, for a while. We laughed, I cried and we talked. It was a good visit. :)
I have arrived at the end of this day feeling good emotionally.
My circumstances haven't altered, but I know an internal work is bringing forth fruit. This is why I love walking with the Lord. If we will but take our pain to Him, He will give us rest.
Come unto me all you who labour and are heavy laden and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light. Mt 11:28-30
Hallelujah!
Daily Credits
Having come through the initial valley of sorrow ( The cause of which I am yet to divulge), today I am experiencing the pleasure of making progress. There may well be other valleys...but that one is behind me. :)
What About You?
Can you think of a time when , in the midst of drama, God gave you supernatural peace?
Why not share here and encourage others with your testimony? :)
