How do we get by?

I was on the new forums at http://thecircle.teddekker.com , and there was a post on there about this. It made me pause. How am I getting by? How do I keep putting one foot in front of the other? I am going through quite a bit of hardship right now, as you are all aware...

In the past, I may have said through praise songs. I may have said scripture. I may have even said the hope of Heaven which lies before me. Then I came to a realization. This may just be the wrong question.

What if the question is not, "how am I putting one foot in front of the other," but simply, "am I putting one foot in front of the other?" I feel that my strength has been gone for some time now. So what then?

While I have no strength to put one foot in front of the other, I have no need to. While I can't put one foot in front of the other right now, me feet are not even on the ground. I am being carried by my Father. While I can not get to where I am going by my own power, He is taking me there. I can claim none of it on my own. As I ponder that, I think that must be exactly how He wanted it.

If we can get to where we are going on our own, how do we show that we trust Him? We show our trust for him in our trials. We need to trust Him in our trials. It is as Yeshua said in Matthew 11:28-30 28“Come to Me, all you who labour and are burdened, and I shall give you rest. 29Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am meek and humble in heart, and you shall find rest for your beings. 30For My yoke is gentle and My burden is light.”

We would do well to remember this. As for me, while I am going through a lot, it doesn't seem as bad as my mind thinks it should.

I will end this blog with this... 2 Corinthians 1:3-7 3Blessed be the Elohim and Father of our Master יהושע Messiah, the Father of compassion and Elohim of all comfort, 4who is comforting us in all our pressure, enabling us to comfort those who are in every pressure, through the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by Elohim. 5Because, as the sufferings of Messiah overflow in us, so our comfort also overflows through Messiah. 6And if we suffer pressure, it is for your comfort and deliverance, being worked out in enduring the same sufferings which we also suffer. If we are comforted, it is for your comfort and deliverance. 7And our expectation for you is steadfast, because we know that as you are sharing in the sufferings – so also in the comfort.
