Following a Renowned Sovereign – part 1

 

My husband and I had a really good talk during the middle of the night, which was about January 14, 2023 for the first part 1 post of this talk and idea.  We both have been really struggling mentally, as well as physically for me with my continued gut issues.

For my hubby it was connected with the huge amount of stress from his work, as well as his daily life in general.

With my continued struggle with my gut and mental stuff daily, it has been really difficult for him to see me in that way all the time. This has caused us both to frequently be at the end of our ropes.  To say the least that is not good.

To be honest we were both getting so frustrated with these intense struggles that are going on with us, that we couldn’t help but getting angry at Elohim (God).

It was like, what's the point of being here if it's going to be so difficult, and for Elohim to not let up on all the hardships we keep having.

But as we were talking it through, we realized that there most be a reason for our difficult times, as we couldn't imagine our Elohim would have senseless suffering in general for us and others.

I think part of that suffering at times, is about being able to appreciate the good times, as well as to help us let go of our stubborn suffering ways that we often put on ourselves, and to help us to find our real purpose in this life.

I also think Elohim wants us to learn to teach us to be like a warrior, that will do and follow his King into war and life for whatever the king needs them to do.

But I think he wants us to be to the point of doing so not out of strict obligation, but out of love, respect, loyalty, devotion and passion for our renowned sovereign king.

I know getting to that point for sure can be a difficult thing to do, as we have to let go of our stubborn ways and follow His ways completely.

I think a great example of this is King David.  He of course had his troubles at times as we all do, and for him an example of that was when He wanted and eventually got a married woman named Bathsheba. 

But after the consequences of that, He repented and kept following His renowned sovereign Elohim and His ways, even when after he was confronted in the wrong things He had done.  King David still wanted to live up to and be like His Elohim even through his struggles, so he could be the best person he could be, and I feel that helped make his relationship with the Lord that much stronger.

I know I'm not at that spot yet myself, but I hope that love, loyalty and devotion for my Elohim will come easily some day, so that when I am making my daily choices in life, it won't be so hard, as I'll just think, what would my Elohim want me to do, to do better in this life for Him, myself and others.

Thank you Elohim for helping me see another way of finding and connecting with you, and I hope others will find you more in that way as King David did.

Isaiah 43:2    When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you.  When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze.

 

Here’s a song about that just fight a little longer that it will be worth it, as you aren’t alone as Elohim (God) will find you.
