"The heart of worship - gratefully receiving the life God gives and,in turn,wholeheartedly giving that life back to Him."
We studied about Hanna who brought her barrenness to the LORD at women's bible study tonight. Her testimony is so special to me. When I heard about her testimony two years ago I decided to give my heart and my life to the Lord.
Now I am Christian so my circumstances are different. Through this bible study,however, God used her testimony to teach me how to trust him in the difficult circumstances and show me how important it is to focus our attention first on God.
There really are only two ways to turn when we experience barrenness-either we take the path to bitterness, or we take the path to brokenness,which ultimately leads to blessing.
More important than the particular kind of barrenness we experience, is what we choose to do with our barrenness. Will we bring it to the LORD, or will we turn inward with bitterness and anger?
God will never abandon us to barrenness. It is simply a land He chooses to take us through for a season. I is our choices, however, that may determine how long we stay there.
"Be anxious for nothing,but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, shall guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:6-7
God always acts according to His loving purpose and plans.
Today I found out that I could not pass English test to apply to the bible college. However I have a peace in Him because I focus my attention first on God.
