Its a process.
Letting go of what I know, or think, or think I know,
to seek truth. To seek God, and find HIM fully.
I have come to the place in my life where I am ridding my mind of any preconceptions of who God is.
Apart from scripture of course. Its crazy how the LORD has been revealing Himself to me when I don’t get in the way. I won’t let my expectations of God, and of life, lie in other peoples opinions. But rather the holy and inspired Word and the very voice of Him who holds the breath in my lungs.
I think we should read the old testament stories more often
.…Seriously, have you read them lately?!
How can we read these stories that clearly depict such an all powerful, all consuming FIRE of a God,
and still live such dry and lame lives. Do you realize who you serve?
Do I realize who I serve?
Why do I ever doubt Gods provision and all powerful hand even in the most dire of circumstances. There has not been a day in my life when He has not taken care of me. How DARE I doubt Him now. Haha, I’m the one that God should doubt. But OH how compassionate He is on His people.
I have found the greatest treasure.
And is my utmost pleasure and joy to seek out this treasure no matter the cost.
But wait doesn’t this sound familiar??
“The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field,
which a man found and covered up. Then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.”
-Matthew 13:44
No matter how things may look or turn out in the end,
He is always worth our joyful surrender and joyful sacrifice.
God has been challenging my faith is more ways then I can explain.
Financially, situationally, with family, with friends, physically, and mentally.
But this is what I look forward to.
The Lord of the Heaven and Earth says to you…..
Call on Me in the day of trouble,
I will deliver you,
and you will glorify Me.
-Psalm 50:15
There will be many days of trouble, guaranteed. I see them know and I see them coming. I have to move forward toward those days and even step into them. But God has already overcome. And He promises to deliver us.
