Forty years ago God gave me a vision while we were reading our morning devotionals at the kitchen table. I saw distant mountains with a bright glow behind them. I asked, “Lord, What is this?” And a voice in my heart was so clear.....”This is my Glory shining for you on the other side of the mountains!” This brief event remains as fresh in my memory as the day it occurred.
She has been in the hospital for a week, most of it in intensive care, with some serious medical issues that have yet to be resolved. It has been difficult for her .....and for me as well.
She has been poked and prodded, tried and tested and seems to be coming out on the other side of it now. The crisis has passed.
I, too, have experienced tests of my faith and trust in Jesus, and in the sovereignty of Almighty God through this ordeal of hers. For me, this has been another refining moment.... more of the dross has been skimmed off transforming me, molding me, making me more in His image.
I believe He wants what is best for me. I believe that all things work together for good. ...I know He hears my prayers, and I know I am loved. Through it all, I am able to say “I trust you, Lord.....no matter what!”
Seeing that glow that has been a part of me for over forty years, was reassurance and conformation that God’s Glory does shine for me and lights my path. I hope it also shines through me to bless or encourage the people I meet.
