Joshua 6:16 says: "The seventh time around, when the priests sounded the trumpet blast, Joshua commanded the people, "Shout! For the Lord has given you the city!"
I read this on proverbs31.org this week. I fully believe when God blesses, which is everyday, we are to give Him thanks & praise for it. So that is what I am doing. I have done it between Him & myself, but I want you all to know, I know from whom my blessings flow & I want Him to get all honor & praise for what He is doing here.
At the end of the devotion the writer asked this question, What has God given you that you need to take hold of - even if it doesn't look like it from where you're standing? A dream He's whispered to your heart? Can you move forward in worship & trust, counting on the fact that it has been given to you already? Focusing on what lies ahead & not what's happening now? You see the Israelites couldn't see that God had ( notice the word) GIVEN. He was telling them in this verse, I've already done this thing for you!
In the process of this photography business, I haven't been looking at what He has already Given. Like I have said earlier, I wouldn't have done any of this, I mean ANY of this if it weren't for D. He has encouraged & had hidden faith. He said you need a "place", I said "NO I Don't!" I laugh & say he was just tired of the car port being junked up. Each time I think oh Lord what am I doing? Why are we doing this? What is, was he thinking? God provides another client, another shoot. So He has given & I am accepting & waiting to see what He is going to do next. And I believe with every ounce of my being He will do something next. He has Given. And this is some of what He has done...
This is what He has given. This is why I will praise Him & give Him the glory.
