The Lord has recently been teaching me a lot about fully relying on him.
And what a better season to learn and practice this in than one when I am stripped of all my comforts?
As I was on the plane to Costa Rica, I read Psalm 73 and this passage hit me hard.
Psalm 73:25-26 says, “Whom have I in heaven but you? And earth has nothing I desire besides you. My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.”
There have been many times throughout the past few weeks that the enemy has tried to convince me of untruth; times that I have questioned the sovereignty of God and tried to rely on my own might. And wow has this left me exhausted, anxious, and empty.
As I sat on the plane heading into a new season of my life, the Lord reminded me that there is none I need but him. He alone is enough.
In the moments that I feel lonely, God is with me. In the moments that I feel unqualified, he meets me there. In the moments that I begin to miss home, I have a home in him. He is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. I can be away from everyone and everything that I know and still feel peace because he is all that I need.
I may fail, the enemy may even convince me of untruth, but none of this changes the sovereignty of my Heavenly Father and his immense love for me.
My prayer for this season is that there is nothing else on this earth that I desire more than the Father. I want to be so hungry for more of him that everything I do flows out of this hunger. I am being refined each and every day to rely more fully on God. He is all that I need.
Thank you so much Mrs. Bolser!! God is so good.
This is so good and exactly what the Lord has been teaching me so far in this season. Thank you so much for the wisdom and encouragement!!
That is beautiful!!
A glorious ride– yes it is!! Love you!
I love you! Thank you for always encouraging my growth with the Father!
I love you so much and am so thankful for your constant encouragement and support!
Your faith is inspiring
It’s really is those moments when we desire more of God’s Spirit and to draw closer to Him that the enemy gets the loudest in our minds. He knows what you are capable of when you are in tune with your Heavenly Father and it scares him. Such a great revelation as you start this adventure. Make time with Him a daily priority and He will be with you every step of the way. So excited to see what He has in store for you and those you are their to minister to.
This is great!! It reminds us of a song we sing at church sometimes:
“Lord, You are more precious than silver;
Lord, You are more costly than gold;
Lord, You are more beautiful than diamonds;
And nothing I desire compares with You.”
We are praying for you and your team!!!
Wow this is so amazing. Beautifully worded and such an amazing revelation. Watching the desires of your heart grow more and more to reflect the desires of Gods heart is all I could ever ask for. I love you
Sweet girl, I’m so proud of the woman that you have become! Continue to allow God to work in you and through you. We are excited to see what He has in store for you the next few months.
All I say is “Amen and Amen”. God is with you, every step of the way—ups and downs. Hang on for a glorious ride!!! LOVE YOU.
