I was minding my own business when God interrupted. I love it when he does that. I had been praying the night before, that God would take away all the baggage that we as people tend to carry. For some reason we forget that God said that his yoke is easy and his burden is light. And that night was one of those forgetful nights, and my yoke was hard and my burden was heavy and I asked God to help me.
The following day I was making coffee for my family and putting the bread in the toaster. Still with the heaviness in my heart, saddened and chained to those worries and fears. And then I heard a voice, firm yet gentle. I knew it was God because I was not thinking about anything spiritual! And he said, "Act like you have a God."
"Act like you have a God." This made me stop and smile. And I stopped and heard it again, "Act like you have a God." My mom had already come down to the kitchen, making her famous "healthy liquados," and I literally wanted to cry my heart out right there and then. The Holy Spirit was speaking to me, reassuring me that I had someone supernatural in my life who loved me. I held back the tears from my eyes, but not the tears from heart. They were tears of joy. "That's right!" I thought, "I have a God! I'm not alone!" His amazing joy entered my heart and the heaviness was lifted. I was free.
I asked myself, "How many times have I walked through life as if I didn't have Almighty God with me? How many times have I forgotten that I am not alone? That God is with me?" I felt a bittersweet taste in my spirit. Bitter because I had forgotten the power and love of my God, and sweet because I was gently reminded of it. I have a God, a Father, a Savior, a Friend! He is my Lord and King, my Fortress, my Strength, my Shield, my Love! I have a God!
So that's my word for you! "Act like you have a God!" :) Because you do. Remember what he said, "So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." (Isaiah 41:10).
We have a God! Praise the Lord! We have a God! The One and Only! :) Let that be the song of your heart today and forever!
Love,
Karina
