In our human
weakness we like to believe that we are the best suited to be in control of our
lives. We tend to dictate to God what we want and how we want it, assuming we
know better than He does what is best for us.
So it is
with post abortive healing. Those stepping forward want to be healed in their
time, not Gods.
Most times,
God does not work that way. In His wisdom He is the one who truly knows our
hearts and wants to be sure we are healed completely down to our core. He knows
what we can handle and at what time. He knows wounds we may not even be aware
of. Little by little, gently, He reveals the truth to us and the way to
wholeness. He is the Divine Physician.
A large part
of the healing process consists of surrender to His love and goodness…a trust
in His love and mercy to spite any feelings we may have. An acceptance of the
journey itself, knowing, if not in our emotions, in our hearts, that He loves
us and that we are being healed by Him in the way and time that is best for us.
In the bible
the Israelites set out for Canaan seeking a new life of peace and joy. A
fulfillment of Gods promise to them. There is no doubt many of them wanted to
get to Canaan quickly. Like us, their impatience is evident in the stories we
are told, but God in His wisdom had other plans. The journey to Canaan took 40
years to complete…I am sure some of the travelers abandoned the journey or
settled in a land on the way unable or unwilling to go on. Some probably died
before reaching Canaan but those who persevered entered the land of milk and
honey to enjoy life to its fullest.
The Entering
Canaan Ministry reflects that journey to the Promised Land.
May each of
us reach the fulfillment of Canaan.
