Isaiah 2:15
He will break down every high tower and every fortified wall.
He will break down every high tower and every fortified wall.
There are towers in my heart. Heavy fortified walls in my heart. I keep it so heavily guarded that more good than harm is done many a time. I cannot always see if the person knocking is friend or foe. God loves me so much that He is knocking these down. It hard to let the walls of protection I have built around my heart to fall at my feet. And be carried away by Jesus. It makes me feel vulnerable. But a hardened heart is unable to hear God's voice. The fortification muffles His voice and I can't always understand His warnings.
It is good to guard my heart, but I need to let God do it. Not me. I am weak...I am inexperienced at building the appropriate fortification or the right fitting armor. By building my own protection, I push God out as well as any potential enemies. God is in the process of tearing my self made, overly made guard down which does more harm than good. He is building a safe house in its place where He is ALWAYS home. Always deeply embedded in a heart that truly loves Him. I can rest easy. God is guarding my heart. I just need to completely hand it over to Him. Lay everything at His feet in all aspects of my little life.
God is my hero! When God says He will fight for me...He means it. When a man says he will fight for me...he only means it in that moment. A man's promises are empty. (Isaiah 2:22 Don't put your trust in mere humans. They are as frail as breath. What good are they?) I sure learned this one the hard way the past few weeks. God's promises are so full they spill all over the place. I love that! God has angels watching over me and with Jesus He has overcome the enemy. I forget that sometimes. I need to make a point to remember it right away. Go back to John 16:33, read it out loud so the enemy knows. Answer him as it is written from Jesus himself!
God will let in who is safe and kick away who is not. My ears need to be sharp and my tough walls gone so I may hear when God is telling me who to not open the door to. I'll just curl up on the couch of God's safe house and read His book while He stands by the door of my heart and gives the once over to anyone who knocks. I never even have to see who is there until God sends them into the living room of my heart. I am not to answer the door. My daddy must be the screener. I have learned some tough lessons the past few weeks. Painful lessons. I have come out on top and closer to Jesus. I lay everything at His feet. Only God is capable of handling things. I must go to Him. Ask God to guard my heart and allow Him to love me.
I must know that He has great plans for me. (Jeremiah 29:11) That my Daddy in heaven wants the best for me. Not just know this, but believe it deep in my heart. I choose to believe this! Yes! I must stop taking matters into my own hands because I am not patient. I must pray that as God knocks the fortress from around my heart, that my discernment to hear His voice grows stronger. When He says, "Don't let this person in." I do as He says and trust that He has a good reason for not wanting to let them in.
I am so grateful that God is always there. That He is always holding my hand no matter what dumb decisions I make. Most of all I am grateful for His grace and mercy and His faithful willingness to clean up the messes I make. What an amazing God I have! My God is a great God! There is no one greater than He! I am so glad He loves me so much!!
God bless!
