This week we had a situation in our family occur where this quote came alive. We were in desperation and , in ourselves, didn't have the answer. We needed to be "enabled" from up above. Mark and I spent time in prayer and asked close friends to pray also. The "enabling" came!!! We were empowered by the Holy Spirit to handle the situation. It was obvious that God is the only one to orchestrate the events that unfolded. Was it hard? Was it painful? Absolutely! But our relationship as a family just took a huge leap forward.
There is one reason why this situation was short lived and not drawn out.......... repentance!
In our study: Ezekiel 33:11 - Turn from your ways and live! It is true that repentance brings immediate life back in!
As soon as we choose to repent, everything shifts in that one moment. If we wait, then God will wait for us to go around the same mountain as long as it takes. I have been reminded by a person that I love dearly, to turn as fast as I can and choose life!
