Just Do It.

Man, God is really dealing with some stuff in me and He continues to speak and there is something in me that keeps being stubborn and needs to break.  We all go through dry seasons, even hard seasons when no matter how much we KNOW, we just don't GET IT.  Or maybe we GET IT but we can't seems to FEEL IT.

I pray that you push through and seek Him today regardless of how you may be feeling.

Who God is does not depend on how we feel. God is God ALL the time.  He is faithful, just, gracious, merciful, loving, powerful, loving, all knowing, ever present.  He knew you before you were born and He knows when you will breathe your last and after that He Will still be there.

Trust Him.  Seek Him.

One way to seek Him and love Him is to intercede for others, like this devotional says especially those whom we may not particularly care for in our human-ness.  Turn all distractions off, push through the wall and pray pray pray.  <><

Baaam!!!

Why do I continue to be amazed at how good and faithful God is?

I felt blahhh and just reaaaly reallly low last week.

Then He (Jesusu) used a daily devotional to speak to me.  I shared the devotional with some peeps and God used one of those peeps to encourage me even further.  Baaam!

I remembered who I am.  More importantly,  I remembered whose I am.  I remembered that thought there are many things I can not do on my own, there is nothing I can not face with Him. 

Jesus has  saved me, He is transforming me and I have His Joy and I will NOT allow any lies to take that away from me.  There will be crappy days, there will be pain, there will be destruction but I shall grab on to the Hand of Jesus and He shall lead me through it all.

I turned my focus from how I was feeling to what I could do that day to serve God.  I did things that I thought would serve that purpose. 

God is so gracious, I definitely felt better the rest of the day. Had a lovely time at microchurch and woke up joking around with my peeps.

Last nigth we went to a gathering at church.  Worship was amazing.  I got waaay filled with the Joy of The Lord.  And the word P Mike shared with us....well, it was right on point.   Baaam!

Who God is does not change with how I'm feeling.  God is who He is All the time.  What Jesus did for me on the cross and my salvation does not go away because I'm having a rough day.

That is what I need to remember when I feel myself going down.  I am His.  He is mine.

"Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me"   - Psalm 23:4  NIV

There is nothing "bad" happening in my life right now.  But the Yuck, the heaviness and the helplesness I was feeling were real.  You may have those days too.  No rhyme or reason to feel like that.  Remember Whose you are and that He has already won every battle. 

Not His yet?  Give your heart to Jesus today.  Want someone there with you to do so?  I would be honored.  Jut let me know!  <><
