24 Jan 2018 Rise Up

I was able to figure out what has caused me distress in the past days and I thank God for the discipline I had to go and going through. It was hard and painful. I was fearful. So I keep on seeking His Word everyday. Making sure I am able to read His promises and focusing my readings on the topics of the bible. I have acknowledge my sins and took on His promises on these verse:

Micah 7:
7
As for me, I look to the Lord for help.
    I wait confidently for God to save me,
    and my God will certainly hear me.
8
Do not gloat over me, my enemies!
    For though I fall, I will rise again.
Though I sit in darkness,
    the Lord will be my light.
9
I will be patient as the Lord punishes me,
    for I have sinned against him.
But after that, he will take up my case
    and give me justice for all I have suffered from my enemies.
The Lord will bring me into the light,
    and I will see his righteousness.



For though I fall, I will rise again. I will be patient as the Lord punishes me for I have sinned against Him. But while I was fearful of the punishment, His very Word has also given me hope:

For you have not received a spirit of slavery leading again to fear [of God’s judgment], but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons [the Spirit producing sonship] by which we [joyfully] cry, “Abba! Father!”
— Romans 8:15









 He is my Father and He is gracious and forgiving. He is patient with me, not wanting me to perish but come to repentance. 


In the same way, there is more joy in heaven over one lost sinner who repents and returns to God than over ninety-nine others who are righteous and haven’t strayed away!
— Luke 15:20

Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.
2 Peter 3:9
