Yea, Tho' I Walk is finally finished and released. As I wrote the last two books of the Sera MacFee trilogy I was challenged with spiritual attacks from unexpected places. Others chosen to preach and teach have discussed their challenges and I listened and took notes but never expected to reach the point where my faith virtually saved my life.
After my father died I traveled through years of denial, smiling with a broken heart and then fearing that I had lost my faith in God. The people and institutions I thought I could count on for love, support and encouragement disappointed me: not because of their shortcomings but because of mine. I expected too much of them and looked to them when I should have been looking to God for salvation, comfort, guidance and joy.
After searching for answers, I thought back to days when my joy was not hampered by anyone or anything. Finally, one day I woke up and decided I would begin to Thank God every day for all things.
1O give thanks unto the LORD; call upon his name: make known his deeds among the people. 2Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him: talk ye of all his wondrous works. 3Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD. 4Seek the LORD, and his strength: seek his face evermore. 5Remember his marvellous works that he hath done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth; 6O ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye children of Jacob his chosen. 7He is the LORD our God: his judgments are in all the earth. Psalm 105: 1-6 (KJV)
My prayer made was in faith to "Provide me with my heart's desire."
Miraculously and instantly God heard my prayer and honored me. This is my message: Give thanks to God at all times and in all things and He will answer according to His covenant with us, His children. This is a time in the history of the earth where we need to be more prayerful and more careful in our relationship with God. He should not be taken for granted as He does not forget to care for us.
