You live certain ways in your life, you will go about your life calling yourself a christian and walking in that but are you truly open to what God is teaching you? Im not asking this to challenge anyone or make any of you think that your not. This is something God has shown me, that i have been a “Christian” my whole life, but i have only been walking with Lord for maybe two years.
God has shown me this month while i have been in Phang Nga Thailand, just how much i need him. Just how important it is to read his word, but truly seek out the meanings of his word. I have never been one for reading at all i read the bible i listened to what He was telling me but i never grasped what it truly was. This month God has shown me the importance of not just looking in his word for what his is telling me, but to truly seek out the meaning of it. I missed so much but just expecting God to show me what it was that he had instore for me. Its on us to follow the Him, we have free will look at adam and eve they had it but they didnt seek Him in everything. Thats what its about as Christians just saying things is not enough, its never enough. We have to push ourselves daily, if that means trying something different then do it.
God has shown me the power of things i never thought powerful. It also shows me how much i have left to learn, things like fasting have never been something on my mind that ways important or meant anything. But the Lord has shown me in lack of a better word my stupidity. I have been fasting and praying in ways, i have never felt more connected, more empowered, more alive. I have never felt more of a reason to live then the feeling i recieve while im seeking the lord in whatever that looks like.
Not two people are alike so then why would they way i seek God look like the way you do. God has shown me that i dont need to be discouraged if the way i seek him doesnt look like the way everyones elses does. As long as im seeking him it doesnt matter what it looks like. You have to push yourself and stay away from being comfortable, you have to walk where God wants you to be and not where your own feet want to carry you.
