Resting vs. resisting brings direction ~KE

Monday Message

When you sense God moving you in an unexpected direction, what do you do? Do you
resist or do you rest?
​
Thanks for joining us for Monday’s Message with Abigail Rice and Trench Classes United.
Today’s poem shares all the emotions that come with faith-ing (rhymes with bathing)
through a change of direction.

Lord, I’m not sure what You are up to
But i sense your moves
I see your ways
You take every piece of me that I thought would break
And held it there
Showing me it would all be okay
Every chance I take
Every step I make
That makes no sense
That leaves me drowning
In this depthless trench
Sometimes makes me question
Will it always be like this?
But just as the moon
Soon becomes new
So will these shattered pieces
Be left in the deep end
As you knit in my mother’s womb
You knew I would feel like this
You knew my mind would fall off the deep end
And damp; You knew You would pick me back up again and; again
Reminding me, darling, this isn’t the end
Your colors are just beginning to show
Through every shattered piece
Light leaks
Like a kaleidoscope
Brighter now
Lighter now
Let those pieces go
There is something I want you to know
You are loved
You are light
You were chosen for this fight
My mighty warrior
You soldier on
Put your armor on
And damp; raise your arms
For this is your battle cry
Your hearts true song
The days feel heavy
The weight unbearing
Your heart
So caring
But so afraid
To make mistakes
Let it go
Let it break
Give those broken pieces to Me
and; you will see
The truth of this reality
I created you to love
and; the only way to feel the depth of this
Is to experience it
The breadth
The height
All the might
Can only be felt
Through these cards you’ve been dealt
That seem unfair
That seem like no one cares
But be aware
You’re smarter than you let on
Press on
Keep believing
Keep on singing
This life
While not easy
Is a mission
A mission of leading
Lead the lost into My Arms
Those in pain
Those who do you harm
You have all that you need
If you would just come, daughter,
Come abide in Me.

“May Christ through your faith [actually] dwell (settle down, abide, make His
permanent home) in your hearts! May you be rooted deep in love and founded
securely on love; That you may have the power and be strong to apprehend and grasp with all the
saints [God’s devoted people, the experience of that love] what is the breadth and
length and height and depth [of it]; [That you may really come] to know [practically,
through experience for yourselves] the love of Christ, which far surpasses mere
knowledge [without experience]; that you may be filled [through all your being] unto
all the fullness of God [may have the richest measure of the divine Presence, and
become a body wholly filled and flooded with God Himself]!”
- Ephesians 3:17-19
