fresh from heaven

i didn't wake up this morning beaming with joy. i struggled to praise God and maintain a posture of thanksgiving when all i wanted to do was hide in bed and cry.

i was to have my driving test later today and i was super nervous. i didn't wanto fail again and honestly, i don't take to failure of any kind very well. despite having sufficient experiences.to make things (slightly) worse, i was receiving endless msgs from the colleague despite being on official leave. i really hated that.

i don't know if many of you know about my dreams and me. and a recent vision/dream i had about being pushed violently by a she-man kinda being which had no legs. and how i was reinforced by a heavenly being of about 3 m. how she provided me with endless strength and with her help, i overcame that legless ugly creature with one final push..that marked the defeat of the legless she man. sounds like a scene straight out of X men or some fantasy show but alas, its just a scene from the movie of my life.(nightlife)

and then TADAH this morning when i woke up, my Father had a word for me and this was what i was given:

Psalms 118: 13-14
You pushed me violently, that i might fall
but the lord helped me
the lord is my strength and my song
and he has become my salvation.

so all that irritation from the office and all my fear of the impending driving test fled.

nothing beats God responding to anything i'm facing the way he does. I love the way he responds ..super cool. most of all, i love the very fact that God almighty responds to my nightmares. thats a true mark of a good Father.

and did i mention that that dream setting was my office? political enemy forces might be at work but my God is bigger.sure win!

correspondingly yesterday my cg leader who was praying for me mentioned when he was praying that he just kept remembering the story of daniel and his friends in the fire. some of you might know that i am gg to have a fresh change of bosses, both christian and one has told me her contingency plan is to gather with me and pray because 'we're not gg to make it without God'. we're left with little resources and a huge pile of mess to clear courtesy of the preceding management.

literally thrown into a pit of fire. my cg leader added that God wants me to pray that i overcome with the 4th man in the fire (as per the story of daniel) and stop praying that i be delivered..which is my typical escapist stance.

so when all see that we walk alive and strong, in the burning fire and EMERGE alive, i pray that all see the 4th man as well.

glory to my 4th man. i love you
