The Introverted Evangelist

God's Incomprehensible Splendour : " Give unto the LORD the glory due to His name; Worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness. The voice of the LORD is over the waters; The God of glory thunders; The LORD is over many waters. The voice of the LORD is powerful; The voice of the LORD is full of majesty. " (Psalms 29:2-4) O gracious God, how marvellously merciful You are! Your splendour roars louder than the rumbling of thunders, and Your gentleness beats softer than the butterfly's wings. Your ways are incomprehensibly incredible, and Your kindness threads each moment into place at just the right time. I trust Your timing, and I trust Your favour. I adore You, my Lord. I will always rest in Your miraculous grace-gift. " The LORD sat enthroned at the Flood, And the LORD sits as King forever. The LORD will give strength to His people; The LORD will bless His people with peace ." (Psalms 29:10-11) -The Introverted Evangelist

Grace When We Need it Most : " So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most. " (Hebrews 4:16) When our world crumbles to pieces, our hearts battered and bruised by burdens, and our hopes torn apart by perpetual mistakes, there is a place to which we can retreat and find refuge. There is a  Shelter of safety  called the shadow of His Wings. The Lord covers over me.  His grace is all need . " And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. " (2 Corinthians 12:9) The thing about grace is,  you can't earn it or deserve it . It must come to you  when you least expect it  and  when you're most desperate  for it. Love is who God is, and grace is the essence of His character . He couldn't leave us without ...

Your Perfect Love Displaces Fear : Love. At the very core of my being, Lord, may Your matchless love be planted in my soul. May the roots of Your truth extend down into the soil, deeper and deeper,  penetrating any strongholds of doubt or distress . May Your love begin to  displace distrust ,  annihilate anxiety , and restore to me a renewed sense of  faithful courage . Help me to know the truth that You are the Lord of Love, not of confusion and deceit.  You're not trying to lure me into believing false realities . You long to make known to me the utter freedom of running out of the chains of fear-fraught thinking. You want to rescue my mind from this prison of poisonous lies. " And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free ." (John 8:32) You offer me the promise of Your Spirit of Love and Truth.  It's only by Your Truth and Your kindness that I can be truly set free from the gruelling grip of fear and doubt. Lord, I thank You for this re...

The Lord is My Banner : " And Moses built an altar and called its name, The- LORD -Is-My-Banner " (Exodus 17:15) Whatever the bank statements, news reports, or test results say, I will be constantly confessing, " The Lord is my banner, I shall not fear. The Mighty God of Jacob is my banner, I will not be defeated. My Sovereign Saviour, He is the One who goes before me and stands behind me - my gracious guide and my strong rear guard. He is the One who saves me, what can earthen powers do to me? " ~ " I called on the LORD in distress; The LORD answered me and set me in a broad place. The LORD is on my side; I will not fear. What can man do to me? " (Psalms 118:5-6) When the Lord God Himself is my banner, I'm sheltered from the storms.  His wings cover over me . When the Mighty King above all kings is my banner,  I sing a new song of renewed hope . No outside force can thieve away the peace He places inside of me. When Jehovah my Joy becomes the banner w...

My Peaceful Provider : " The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. " (Psalms 23:1-2) Lately, the Holy Spirit has really been speaking deep into my heart about this particular passage of Scripture. Psalms 23, a classic isn't it? But we mustn't allow the genuineness of this miraculous truth to slip past us on the slopes of familiarity. A truth and promise this divine is not meant to  merely braise our fears  with faith,  but strike them  right in the very core of their sources,  penetrating and paralyzing them once and for all ! It must become a  daily   proclamation  in order for it to become a  spiritual   manifestation . This glorious reality has to be an  ongoing declaration  before it can become our  solid foundation  - our refuge in times of attack and struggle. " Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fe...

Fight For Rest, God is Sovereign : Always and forever. I'm fighting for rest. It's time to see God's faithfulness come to pass in my life. The thing is... I must allow Him to burn brighter than my doubts and fears .   I must let His goodness consume my anxieties . I can't give God glory for things I try to control myself . Don't I see it? His control is even better than mine! If I'll  relinquish my worries by worshipping , I'll be overcome by His marvellous Presence and His miraculous majesty will become unmistakable. ~ God, You're the One in control. You hold the  ultimate Authority  above everything - EVERYTHING - else. Help me to trust with my entire heart.  You've given me the promise of Your unwavering love and faithfulness. Your whispers are more certain than embossed lies. I can hold tightly to Your hand and step into the unknown territory, because I know  You won't ever forsake me in my weakness . You are gentle, caring, and compassionate...

I Loved You at Your Darkest : " Oh, send out Your light and Your truth! Let them lead me; Let them bring me to Your holy hill And to Your tabernacle. Then I will go to the altar of God, To God my exceeding joy; And on the harp I will praise You, O God, my God. Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God; For I shall yet praise Him, The help of my countenance and my God ." (Psalms 43:3-5) Your  gentle whispers , O Lord, have been the foundation of what has sustained me and my hope.  Your joy is the song my heart sings  today, but the tune didn't always play so light and serenely.  I remember the nights , God, the nights in the darkest, most dreadfully uninviting bed chambers... But You were there, and somehow  You stilled the waves that threatened to drown me . You, in Your sovereign mightiness, spoke peace into the turmoil of my troubles.  You spoke light into my darkest night , and  You spoke hope into the trenc...
