One of the things that most excited me about going on the race, other than the tangible ministry I was going to be doing, was the fact that not only were we asked to blog, but that through the website, it is such an accessible and shared ministry. Writing is one of my absolute passions, and having an opportunity to do just that in the freedom of writing about whatever I wanted to and about God and what His hands were doing, is such a blessing. And yet, already half way through my second month, I find that I have done so little blogging. I do however manage to journal pretty much every day, so I have decided to be a lot more fruitful in my writing of blogs. I figure, even if I do not have a specific message to share, I can just do what I love to do best, just write what is on my heart, and let God speak where He sees fit.
So today, I feel so blessed by how much God loves me, and how sovereign His timing and His plans truly are. Spiritual warfare has been the context of a lot of my learning from God this month, and the more ardent and Solomon like my pursuit becomes, the more abundantly He provides me insight and wisdom into the subject which is such an interest and passion to me. The last four days in particularly have just been such an intimately exciting time with God, as He opens my eyes to the things around me, and answers my every prayer, not only fulfillingly, but in ways so beyond what I could have even expected.
So that, that lesson, and that truth, is the one I most want to share today. He is constantly reminding me that I am His princess, daughter of the most high king. In that I have an inheritance, a heavenly inheritance so beyond this world. He keeps reminding me that it is not only His joy, but His pleasure to grant me my greatest desires, and to fulfill my every need, because what He wants most is to bestow His will on my life, and His will is perfection. He keeps showing me that if I just worry about keeping my heart set in Him, and striving to set it deeper and deeper, then He WILL give my greatest desires, because my desires, which come from my heart, will be set on Him. He keeps showing me, that as long as I am walking hand in hand with Him, and truly, blindly following Him, that life will be golden. Easy? No, but superbly and immeasurably AMAZING, and I will be allowed my every dream, because I am a daddy’s girl.
This does not apply to me alone though. We are ALL children of the most high, princes and princesses of the kingdom of light. That doesn’t mean that we get every wish as if granted a magical lamp. Instead it means that if we worship the King with a life that pursues Him, we will HAVE a life better than we could ever dream of, reaping the benefits of the treasures of heaven, to which nothing on this world can compare. So you, ever ambiguous reader, I urge you to pursue your inheritance, by entering the kingdom with thankfulness, and a true, excited, and faithful heart for the Lord.
