Sharing the Lord's wonderful works! -- Personal Story --
"O give thanks unto the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever."
Psalm 107:1
___
Part 1: It's not coincidence. Its God
It is not by coincidence that this was the psalm the Lord and I went over today
The Lord has indeed been good and done some wonderful works!
Yesterday, I was afflicted all day, but the Lord helped me to continuously go to Him
Now, all that is credit to the Lord. The Lord helped me to go to Him, not me
At the end of my affliction, the Lord did something really wonderful
The Lord helped me realize that it wasn't temptation I was struggling with, but rather the fear of success
Last week, the Lord had brought me from my “old”, into His “new”. The Lord brought me from my old garden, filled with fear, to His new garden, filled with faith. The Lord helped me to realize that all my life I was filled with fear. The Lord helped me to leave that old life, that old way, and He led me into His new place, where I could fully live by faith. The Lord helped me to leave the old, and go to the new, just like He said He would! The Lord helped me to fully live by faith
Since then, the Lord has been teaching me so much, and helping me to do so much with Him
The Lord has been great. The Lord has been wonderful!

Part 2: The Lord not only teaches, but also gives us an opportunity to apply it
Yesterday, the Lord helped me to realize that a few days ago, there was a very slight whisper in my ear; whispers of fear that I wouldn't be able to remember all the Lord has taught me
With everything the Lord has been teaching me recently, I was worried that I may forget a lesson, or may not be able to carry all the new responsibility. The Lord has indeed brought me to a new place, His place, His garden, where the Lord’s love and light shines bright. But the Lord helped me realize that I had a slight fear that I wouldn't be able to handle all that the Lord calls me to do. I wouldn't be able to handle or hold on to all the Lord gives. And that fear was slowly growing
The Lord helped me to realize that I was like a planter slowly about to plant a “seed of fear”. My hand had the seed. My arm, ever so slowly, was reaching down toward the ground, and if I didn't stop, I was going to plant this seed of fear, and everything in the Lord’s garden would die. All the Lord has taught me, brought me through, and provided….all gone because I left the Lord and His new garden, filled with love, light, and faith; and instead, walked back to my old garden, filled with my fears
The Lord had already shown me that I had done this exact thing in my life before
And yesterday, the Lord was giving me the opportunity to NOT do it again
The Lord was giving me the opportunity to trust in the Lord, have faith in the Lord, and to leave all my fear. All of it. Even the fear of success!
The Lord says,
“What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee”
The Lord gave me the opportunity to do exactly that!
If it wasn't for the Lord, I would've never realized that I wasn't being tempted yesterday, but rather was filling myself with fear
If it wasn't for the Lord telling me what to do in times of fear, I would have never gone to the Lord
The Lord did a wonderful work, but the Lord’s love does not end there!
___
Part 3: I don't rely on myself. I rely on God!
The Lord not only helped me to realize my fear of success, but also taught me how to deal with it!
I was afraid of success because I was afraid I wouldn't be able to remember everything, or carry everything the Lord’s given
The Lord has brought me to a new place, and the Lord helped me realize I was afraid I wouldn't be able to remember all the Lord taught me, on top of everything the Lord will teach me; that I would be able to uphold the new responsibilities of the Lord’s garden
In short, I was afraid I wouldn't be able to “carry” it all
BUT
The Lord helped me realize… It's not “me” who is carrying everything.
It's not “me” who is carrying me.
It's not “me” who is relying on me.
It's the Lord!
I rely on the Lord!
And that's exactly what the Lord told me to say whenever there are whispers of fear of success!
“I rely on You!”
___
Part 4: The Lord IS faithful to His word
The Lord not only helped me to realize what to do when I have fear (“I have faith in You”), but also what to do with the specific fear of success (“I rely on You”)!
The Lord tells us to focus on the things we can't see
I can't see faith, or reliance
And these are the exact things the Lord helped me to realize, focus on, and grow: The things I can't see!!!
The Lord is helping me to grow my faith and reliance in Him, in His garden!!!!
The Lord is helping me to grow exactly what I need to grow in the Lord’s garden!
And the Lord has planted me like a tree, and the Lord is helping me to grow!
He hasn't planted me like a tree because “I'm good”. NO! But because the LORD IS GOOD, and the LORD IS FAITHFUL TO HIS WORD!
The Lord is good!
Thank You Lord!
And the Lord is producing fruit!!!!
___
Part 5: The Lord DOES provide!
Last night, the Lord offered me the opportunity to apply to a job at Babel Audio as a Speaker! I applied to this job a couple months ago. Honestly I thought I didn't get it. But the Lord held this off until the perfect time. The Lord provided this enormous blessing!
The Lord provided work for me to do, all when I had thoughts of “how am I going to pay for next month's rent?”
In those moments, I would say, “I don't know, but I have faith in God”
And God has once again provided!!!
The Lord is faithful to His word!
I am so excited for this job opportunity.
Thank You Lord!
The Lord taught and helped me to grow the eternal things, helped to plant and grow a beautiful tree in His garden, and then brought forth fruit from the tree
This is all the Lord!!!!
The Lord is good!
___
Part 6: The Lord ALWAYS provides
And then, this morning, the Lord blessed me with Psalm 107, WHICH WAS PERFECT, YET AGAIN!
It talks about giving thanks to the Lord for all the Lord has done, and telling others the Lord’s wonderful works
Well, let me tell you. The Lord has provided and done some really great things!
Today I had the opportunity to apply as a Voice Speaker with the company Babel
As most of you know, I was recently laid off. The Lord has provided a work opportunity in the industry I love!
Also, I HAVE ANOTHER INTERVIEW NEXT WEEK!
The Lord also provided food!!!!
The Lord provided so much food today
Thank You Lord!
The Lord provided His love through someone we love
They showed great love to us, and the Lord provided for us through them
Thank You Lord for them!
Just as our food and financial supply was getting lower, the Lord helped once again to realize that THE LORD ALWAYS PROVIDED!
But above these physical things the Lord has provided, the Lord has also provided the eternal things
The Lord first helped me to learn how to have faith in Him, and also helped me to grow my seed of faith in His garden
Then, the Lord produced fruit
The Lord has provided all things, just like the Lord said He would!
“But seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you”
The Lord has taught, shown, and done so much
The Lord is so good
I want to tell all the Lord has done!
The Lord is good!
Call on the Lord
Trust in the Lord
Walk with the Lord
The Lord will show you all new things
The Lord will make you new!
The Lord…geez, I have no words
The Lord is really good
The Lord is the Lord!
Be with the Lord, and the Lord will show you some really, really awesome things
The Lord will do wonderfully amazing things
The Lord is really good!

Part 7: Verses
Matthew 6:33
“But seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you”
2nd Corinthians 4:18
“while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal”
