Right to the EDGE!Right?I mean really— I was right on the edge the other night—I was getting very close—I was crying out to God for relief—absolutely at the end of myself—and the next day—an offer on the house and a done deal.
There are many ways I could go with this—many ways—but the issue for me was not that I was belly aching and God bailed me out.I wasn’t belly aching.I was truly broken hearted, really in need of a touch from God.I laid it before Him all day—I was literally crying out to Him for relief from the pressure of living in 2 places, the pressure of knowing it would have to be a movement from Him and I could not make it happen—this was going to be His deal period.
I came to Him though—I cried out to Him.I didn’t go to anyone else.He and He alone was the only one that could hear my valid cry.God and God alone was the only one that could bring an answer—the sale of the house.It was God and God alone that finished it.
I could go on and on, but I won’t.It was like David crying out for relief—and God in His timing answered.Same for me—it was honest, down to the bone, sheer heart hurting and God heard my agony and brought an offer.
So?So the Scriptures are real—I continued to remember this verse—
“Notemptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.” 1 Corinthians 10:13
No, I wasn’t tempted.But I was under stress beyond what I could bear.Really?Yes.I had enough—I was tired, worn out—completely beyond what I could bear.I was gone and God brought relief!
