In The Middle of God Made Troubles

Trouble. Troubles at bay. No one said this would be easy, but it is worthy.

Troubles that are God made. What is wrong! There is trouble!

Nothing is wrong this is the right kind of trouble. The trouble that changes us into the people God always knew we were. That the sight of some trouble is actually the Gods confirmations and affirmations. We are exactly where we are supposed to be and doing exactly what we are supposed to do.

That some troubles are the kind of trouble that breeds the glory of God. This trouble is what is paving the way to purpose. Its arrival was on time correct, and God is in it. God is with us. That He is for us.

They used to call me trouble when I was a little child. Every time I entered into a room. It was here comes trouble! I suppose it was true. I was more than a hand full of good organic trouble. I still know that little girl who sighted trouble.

Even then my steps were my own, they had their troubles.

The whole point of it that I am making is this that if I am in it, then You are in it. You are the Lord who gets inside my trouble with me. That if I am all in than so are You! If I jump you are jumping too. If we break glass than I guess we both broke glass together. Through the window or whatever.

Love and its trouble.

It is its own brand of trouble. Covenant love. It is almost absurd to ask are you coming? Promise the way of it the absolute surety of promise. Has the Lord ever promised you something so big? So big that when you think about it you almost pass out in His presence? He looks back at you and lets us know if I said it, I am good for it. It is coming to pass you better believe it.

You thought love looked a lot like the absence of trouble? It turns out it doesn't. That the presence of trouble is not an indication of a lack love for you. In fact, it is me affirming you of my love for you. Together. We go.

As much as I do like a lot my seasons of rest and breakthroughs that lead to a kind of blessed peace. The seasons of a certain type of prosperity.

It does not matter how wild the trouble. If it is God made. Not when it is the Lord behind it all. Leading me guiding me, speaking to us and people like I have never seen before.

Your car blew up, nations under hot fire, world wars, swarming police cars, terrorism, mass weapons of deception, mass weapons of destruction, grueling scrutiny, shield smashing adversity (shield to shield), suicidal thoughts, anxieties, hardships, failing relationships, brokenness, bareness, famine, mass weapons of incompetence, nakedness, destitution, gunfire.

That promise is still present and so is God. The same God that over and over again is showing you who He is.

The same God who brought you to it will bring You out of it.

Enjoy your troubles! Like trouble never knew you could.

Jesus Christ Forevermore
