“Hoekom voel dit of God my nie hoor nie?”

Haloes! :)


“Hoekom voel dit of God my nie hoor nie?”

1 Petrus 5:7

“Gee al julle bekommernisse aan God oor, want Hy gee vir julle om…”

Jesaja 40:31

“Maar die wat hulle hoop op die Here stel, sal hulle krag terugkry… hulle vlieg soos arende… Hulle sal harloop en nie moeg word nie… Hulle sal loop en nooit vermoeid word nie…”

Laura Story - "Blessings" Lyrics

We pray for blessings, We pray for peace, Comfort for family, protection while we sleep, We pray for healing, for prosperity, We pray for Your mighty hand to ease our suffering, all the while, You hear each spoken need, Yet love us way too much to give us lesser things…  'Cause what if Your blessings come through raindrops, What if Your healing comes through tears, What if a thousand sleepless nights, Are what it takes to know You’re near, What if trials of this life are Your mercies in disguise, We pray for wisdom, Your voice to hear, And we cry in anger when we cannot feel You near, We doubt Your goodness, we doubt Your love, As if every promise from Your Word is not enough, All the while, You hear each desperate plea…

And long that we'd have faith to believe, 'Cause what if Your blessings come through raindrops, What if Your healing comes through tears, What if a thousand sleepless nights, are what it takes to know You’re near, And what if trials of this life are Your mercies in disguise, When friends betray us, When darkness seems to win, We know the pain reminds this heart, That this is not, this is not our home, It's not our home, 'Cause what if Your blessings come through raindrops, What if Your healing comes through tears, And what if a thousand sleepless nights, are what it takes to know You’re near… What if my greatest disappointments, or the aching(s) of this life, is the revealing of a greater thirst this world can’t satisfy… And what if trials of this life, the rain, the storms, the hardest nights are Your mercies in disguise…

Hierdie stuk het my erg aangeraak!! Ons bid altyd met ‘n spesifieke antwoord waarop ons HOOP, reeds in ons kop… En dan raak ons negatief wanneer ons nie antwoorde of tekste kry op al hierdie vrae in ons gemoed nie… Maar het jy al ooit soos hierdie stuk dit beskryf, aan jou lewe gedink? Wat as ons bid vir sonskyn, maar God gee reën? Outomaties ‘n negatiewe konnetasie wat in jou gedagtes opkom, maar dalk is die reën nodig vir GROEI om plaas te vind, ten einde “blom” te kan dra, en jou geestelike gawes te gebruik soos God dit bestem het? Of slapelose nagte kan daar wees om jou en God te laat “connect”? Jy is vir God eerste prys, en Hy sal vir jou seën met dinge wat vir ‘n Koningskind bestem is… Ons moet partykeer net deur die slegte, om by die goeie uit te kom… Moenie moed opgee nie – plaas jou hoop en vertroue in God… Hy SAL sorg – al is dit partykeer op maniere wat nie vir jou logies lyk nie… Die legkaartstukkies sal op die ou end sin maak… En baie keer sal die legkaart nie voltooid wees, sonder dat sekere “reën” stukke daarin is nie…



Blessings!
