Isaiah 45:5-6
I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me:
That they may know from the rising of the sun and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the LORD, and there is none else.
February 14, 2007 was a fun-filled night! I was able to share the evening with my sisters in Christ from Church...best sista's in the world! We had a blast in our V-day pj's, eating pizza soup and just being girls....it was encouraging and edifying to just share our hearts with each other and we all walked away that night with our cups overflowing!
We watched the movie called "One night with the King". A movie based on a book inspired by the story of Esther in the Bible. There were many phrases from that movie that stuck out to me, but one continually echos in my head. In one scene, Esther is having a conversation with the King and she asks him why he had summoned Vashti for the last time. His reply was "I am the King, I answer to no one". The first time I heard this quote, I had to rewind it again and again and again...Letting the words sink in it was as if God Himself was speaking to me saying..."Amy, I am GOD...I answer to no one..." WOW! I cannot tell you the peace that overwhelmed me at this thought. HE IS GOD ALONE, He answers to no one! Especially not me!
I think it is safe to say that at some point in life we have all had questions for God, His Word tells us that His ways are higher than our ways and His thoughts higher than our thoughts, so naturally we would have questions. There have been many times in my life where I have questioned His ways, His direction, His plans, His thoughts and even the circumstances that have taken place in my life. I find myself asking why God? Show me your purpose!!! In time He does reveal His ways, His plans and His purpose. I have learned that He allows the questions to come so that I will seek His face! Proverbs 28:5 says "...they that seek the Lord understand all things." I find peace in the waiting times in knowing that He is God, He is still on the throne, and because He is God, He doesn't owe me an explanation for His ways...He desires my trust to remain stedfast and confident in the fact that He is God alone!
Peace comes when I remember that
