Promises, Promises

Make your tents larger!

As I sat down for five minutes before leaving the house this morning, I was urged in Spirit to read Isaiah 54:2, which says:

2Make your tents larger!

Spread out the tent pegs;

fasten them firmly.

3You and your descendants

will take over the land

of other nations.

You will settle in towns

that are now in ruins.

Reading it through again now, I realise that strangely, I read the word DESCENDANTS as FAMILY this morning. I was reminded of a whispered promise that I would be given a "partner in crime" (for want of a MUCH better word) soon. Ever since I had that dream I've had this feeling of SOON. I know God calls all times soon, so I'm not exactly on tenterhooks waiting for my partner. Just enjoying being single to be honest. Of course there in that passage is also the promise of going to other nations... Something I've known in my soul for quite a while, but always thought I would be called to alone. I was praising God for His promises this morning, and saying that I trusted His words were true because He never breaks His promises....

And as I walked to school I was accompanied all the way by the brightest strongest rainbow I've seen in a long time. It was like He kept saying "Yes, you're right, I don't break my promises. Just as I kept my promise to Noah I will keep my promise to you."

God truly is the God of small things, just as much as the large things.

Seek Him first and everything shall be added unto you! He just keeps on proving it to me! :)
