It's been about 3 years since I last published a post here, well apart from the one I published a few minutes ago 😂 "No strings attached". I found it in my drafts this morning, I read it and wondered why I didn't publish it so I pressed the button.
Anyways, welcome to 2021! As we approach the second half of the year, I had a strong desire to write here again and then discuss on my Podcast. Yes I have a podcast and it's called "TruthwithTimi". Do well to check it out here.....
The thought that however brought me here this cold Saturday morning is how intentional God is about us. We simply just need to look to find him. Let me explain with a recent experience.
This week was a very overwhelming one for me. For some reasons I kept getting anxious about a number of things and it always ends with me overthinking. It got so bad one night and I felt like running away. (Don't ask me where because I have no idea myself 😂.)
I knew from the beginning that I just needed to drop everything and pray but I didn't do that. Until this idea of running away to nowhere and just hiding away from everything came. I'm glad I sfill.had enough sense to know this was rubbish that I allowed. I immediately sent my friend a text in yoruba "mo fe sa lo (forgive my lack of "ami ohun")", seriously I added that to the text after which I said "I think I need to go and dance" (dancing is something I do when I feel overwhelmed. I take Isaiah 61:3 very personally). Back to my experience that night, stay with me. In my corner, I smiled (after sending the text to my friend) and then I told the devil I have allowed you play too much. I opened my bible reading for the day and it was Psalm 11.
Lord, don’t you hear what my well-meaning friends keep saying to me: “Run away while you can! Fly away like a bird to hide in the mountains for safety. For your enemies have prepared a trap for you! They plan to destroy you with their slander and deceitful lies. Can’t you see them hiding in their place of darkness and shadows? They’re set against you and all those who live upright lives.” But don’t they know, Lord, that I have made you my only hiding place? Don’t they know that I always trust in you?
Psalms 11:1-2 TPT
Just look at that. I know this was probably one of the times David's enemies or sons wanted to attack him but to me, that night, it was the time the devil was telling me to run away after I over indulged him. It described my exact situation and you can guess I was in awe. Then the latter part settled it for me. I have made God my hiding place. Yes! I have and so there is no where else to run, I am safe in him. That change of perspective made every other thing fade away. All I was worried about were at the end of the day just that, worries. They aren't even real! The truth however is that God is my hiding place and he is with me always. I'm only just living out his script for my life anyway why worry?
This is not the first time I've fought a battle in my mind. Probably not the 100th time but God's word keeps guiding my heart and delivering me. It's a miracle that I get to experience often and I'm grateful. God came through for me that night like he always does.
How did God come for you this week? I'll love to know in the comment section below.
Thank you for reading through I hope you are encouraged.
