Hello everyone!
I wanted to post some follow up thoughts to the post I made earlier today about how we can feel challenged so many times by what God says that we can forget to actually do what He says and watch Him work out all the missing elements.
We can become that intimidated, that afraid of what God is actually asking of us that we can forget that His provisions are often tied into us making that first step away from wherever's comfortable...
Brokenness Aside
I'm making quite a connection with a song as I write this: -
Wow, this is the first time I've heard this one!
I've liked All Sons & Daughters' music for some time now...
I could quite easily get emotional at this point right now on hearing this...
Well, it would make a change from, um, other things that have got me all emotional of late!
God has called each one of us His child, even when we tell Him lies, as this song suggests and even when we make our mistakes. God is still able to overlook that and tell us that it is not what we say about ourselves that makes the difference to Him, it is what He knows about us that makes all the difference.
How wonderful is that?!
Never Without Purpose & Never Without Reason
The fact that I could harp on in my many blog postings for weeks on end like I have been about having a crush on the most wonderful young woman I have ever met, proves my point! :-P
Why does it prove my point? Because I'm still here today, still writing away and, yes, though I still mention her, I'm able to more confidently say that my gaze is fixed as it now is; steadfastly on God and on His words!
If anything is meant to happen, it will, it's inevitable... but God's plan for me was that I should seek Him first and foremost in everything!
God has made each one of us so beautiful, so amazing, so perfect that the fact that only on Thursday at creative did I notice something about her that I should have noticed from the first moment I saw her, proves to me this is no ordinary crush.
What did I notice, I hear you ask? Like I'm going to tell you! :-D
The point is, I'm trying to lead by example in all that I do and though I may make my mistakes, I'm trying and striving to, just never in the sense that it's all hinged on my efforts!
Final Thought
To see how Moses would go from feeling self-critical, to actually leading the Israelites out of slavery shows that God knew what He was doing in telling Him to go in the first place.
So the fact that God has told me all the things that He has told me, proves to me that He has placed the ability to do those things directly within me!
What I want to look at before my "More Than Enough" series draws to a close next week, is the fact that when God says it, not only will He do it but He will enable you to do so also!
Watch the skies!
