How many of you have had your butt kicked by the enemy?
All of us have.
I experience a butt whooping this week on the heels of some very targeted attacks on a key relationship in my life.
I know the enemy was trying to divide an conquer, and he did a fairly good job of it.
On the heels of getting through that attack, the enemy got me to shift my mindset into scarcity mode.
Robyn, here’s all you will be missing when you move to South Carolina… everything….
Seriously, every person you can rely on is no longer within reach.
Boy, did that trigger a massive wave of panic and insecurity.
What happened to my joy?
I allowed the enemy to steal it and replace it with insecurity and fear.
My colleague offered some questions to interact with the Lord on and the answer the Lord led me to was that I was afraid of being miserable.
God was gonna make me miserable.
Yup. This would do it for sure.
Having all my family and friends out of reach is gonna stink.
I remember as a kid believing the lie that if I gave God control of my life, He would make me miserable…at that time I believed I deserved to be miserable because I wasn’t performing perfectly.
That part of the lie I’ve been free from for quite some time thanks to understanding God’s grace.
However, the enemy hopped on the first part hard this week.
As I dialogued with the Lord, He spoke very clearly that the only one who would make me miserable is me… not Him.
I choose my mindset.
I can choose to set my mind on the Spirit and experience His life and peace, or I can choose to set it on the flesh and be miserable.
I am so thankful for the account of Abraham’s journey with the Lord.
I’ve had the Abraham/Issac/ram in the thicket moments where upon surrender the Lord has said, “okay, now you don’t have to do this.”
This is not one of those moments.
It’s a “strike your tent and move where I will show you” moment.
And I will bless you in ways you can’t even imagine.
Trust Me.
Follow Me.
I am your security.
Beloved, I covet your prayers as we are continuing to progress toward selling the farm, settling the estate and moving to Greenwood, SC.
I’ve been dragging my feet in doing some things that are needed at this time.
I still don’t have a move date.
I know unequivocally that this is His will for me.
I know He will bless me and provide all that I need even before I know I need it.
Thank you for your continued prayers!
Blessings!
