Write It Out

I was going to post a Scripture for reflection for today's Blog Post, but God told me to share the following instead:


On Sunday, May 12th, 2024, while I was in prayer, God told me to write out (write down) all that I am trusting Him to do in my life.


I was very reluctant to do this, which is why I did not do it on that day, but instead, I did it the next day (yesterday), and I only did it then because God kept telling me to do it (like, He was nagging me about it), for a reason that I have yet to understand.


Indeed, I cannot understand why God insisted that I write down on paper (I used a Post It note) what He already knows. And then to go as far as telling me to hang it up/post it on my wall. Yes... God even told me to hang the note up on my wall... and I did (obedience).


The reason why I was reluctant to do this when God first told me to do it is because there are just some things that I keep to myself and that I keep between me and God, and the things that I put on the list that's on my wall, are some of the very things that I wanted to keep between God and myself. I wanted to keep those things private, especially during a time when the only privacy I have is in my mind (my thoughts).


Yes... My thoughts are the only things that I can be sure of that no one has access to, and no one can invade. No one can see my thoughts, and no one can hear them. No one can be privy to them unless I decide to share them.


Meanwhile, earlier today while I was in deep thought, God reminded me that no one and nothing can stop what He has for me (His promises for my life). I know why God reminded me of this. My questions, however, are pretty much the same every single day:


When am I ever going to get it? When am I ever going to get there?


I need these answers because I have no idea. I have no idea at all, and it is all very frustrating and annoying (to say the least) and this is an uncomfortable and painful situation to be in. In fact, most of the time, this all seems like a big nightmare. Seriously.


Anyway, before I get off track with my message and get all into my feelings, let me say that I trust God and I know for certain that He knows what is best for me and He is in control and has all power in His hands. All of that to say is, God knows exactly why He told me to write down everything that I am trusting Him for and hang the note on my wall.


I can tell you that everything God instructs me to do, and I obey His instructions, it always yields blessings for me.


In those moments when I do not understand the reasons behind his instructions, I always think of Romans 8:28, which reads:


And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.


I will end this Blog Post by telling you this: If God tells you to do something, do it. Even when you do not understand the reason why, trust Him and do whatever it is that He tells you to do, and things will work out in your favor.


Be encouraged. God loves you.


Love and peace,

Yolanda Billingslea
