don't you have it yet?
Hey all...
This past week as been, well…spiritually challenging, again a test of my trust and patience. The other evening a situation come up and I was praying and some what confused by things and the spirit gave me a sense of peace and the thought…I am working, you need to trust me, came to mind.
It is funny…all I talk about in my blog anymore is how I need to learn trust. Well ya think that I would have by now. Yeah not so much.
I think it boils down to the idols in our life’s and how that is why we continue to sin, because we don’t see that our idols ARE idols and that we are continually trying to live our life’s the way that WE want.
I was talking to a friend the other day and she gave me this verse, Hebrews 12:1-3 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.
What this verse says to me is…we need to focus our hearts and minds on what Christ is calling us to do. Granted, half the time we might not know what that is That is where we need to ask the Holy Spirit to guide us and that God’s will be done in our life’s.
