Unveil my eyes...


The past few days I have been reminded of how often God speaks and desires us to listen and yet we often mistake that for ourselves or outer noise. Well I have been desiring for God to speak more to me and so I spoke the same words Samuel did as a child. "Speak to me Lord, for your servant is listening." WOW!!! Talk about opening the flood gates of Heaven. I think as I did that something in MY spirit broke and was able to hear more clearly what to listen for. I have learned that when my spirit is silent and when I have one ear to the Lord in all I do, that is when I can hear him more clearly. Now sometimes it takes more than asking once, sometimes you have to pursue it and continue to ask and push through the struggle. And yet other times there is this grace that flows down from Heaven that is given to me just at the right time. I want you to know that even now I am attentive to what you need to hear and so I am being as obedient as possible to write out His very Heart for YOU! This is not of me or even my words, these are the words of the Lord. The Precious Father who looks on you with favor and Loves you with an everlasting LOVE. Thank you Jesus that you are able to see past all of my doubts and get right to the heart of the matter when I am obedient to you. Thank you that this past week you have shown me that even as I am obedient to you and that you have BIG things for me but when you entrust these things to me you have to see me be obedient in the small things first. Thank you that you are writing for me and that I can just obey your very words. Thank you that nothing can distract me from running this race. Thank you that when you speak things happen. Thank you that when you speak the whole earth trembles. Thank you that you have shown me that just as Samuel was obedient as a child so have I tried to be since I was young. Thank you that others think I am crazy. Thank you that you open doors NO MAN can shut! Thank you that what you put together no man can separate. Thank you that you are in control of ALL the situations in each of our lives. Thank you that I can be your voice to the Nations. Thank you that you have a special place for me to fit into with every part of who I am, Your creation. Thank you that I can worship MY Creator and King. Thank you that you are not only the King of Kings, Lord of Lords, and Prince of Peace, but YOU are the LOVER OF MY SOUL! Thank you that you are Faithful to your word and none of your words fall to the ground. You are not a MAN, that you should lie! Thank you that you have our best interest at heart EVERY time. Thank you that you are the calmer of the sea and that as a testimony you showed me that tonight. See I have been praying for something to happen lately and it just hasn't seemed like it was going to happen and yet God continues to speak. He continues to talk to me about the next step and how to proceed. I know that he desires to give good gifts to His children and that He is faithful to answer prayers. Thank you for that. Thank you that you are speaking to me even now. Thank you that you can do anything but we choose to allow ONLY your will to happen in our lives. We give you our hearts and minds and we Choose YOU! "Speak to me Lord for your child is here, listening. Speak to ME Lord, for your child is here, waiting on YOU! Unveil My eyes, let me see you! Unveil My heart, let me know you! Father do!" These are words from a song that Rebecca St. James wrote. Speak them as you go about your day and see what HE says to you. I am sure it will blow your mind. I know that just as much as He desires to talk to ME, He desires to talk to you too. He wants you to give Him the room that HE needs, and the ability to speak to you. He wants you to trust Him with all your heart like it says in Proverbs. Thank you for speaking to me even through this. Thank you that you have come to this world to seek and save that which was lost. Unveil my eyes let me see you today! Thank you that you are behind this all asking us to trust you more. Thank you and I love you so much! I love you Faithful Father.

Perseverance vs. Endurance

Image
Endurance is something I normally associate with sports, but really in the bible endurance is something that is to wait out the storm to wait it out and know that things will change. Waiting for things to change but just sitting back and riding out the storm. I have endured a lot of things but what does that really show about my character? Nothing except that I know how to wait things out sometimes. That I can sit back and ride the wave, or have a bit of patience for things to change. Although endurance is good in sports and beneficial when you need to wait on something, it isn't what defines character. It isn't what makes good stories. Who wants to sit and listen to someone tell you a story about them sitting and waiting for things to change, who wants to tell a story like that? I sure don't. When I tell a story I want it to be a good story but Epic stories like the Titanic come from something other than endurance. If those people on the boat would have done nothing but en

Warring further still...

Knowing that this season in my life is where it should be is probably easier to accept, than for me to accept the truths of what God Himself has spoken to me about the future. I will tell you that what I am walking through is difficult and hard, but what God has spoken to me is even harder. Not because it will be painful, although I am sure it will be at times, but because of the reality and gravity of what it is. I am in a season of prepping, I believe, in my life for the next season of living out what I know God has said. He has given me direction in many areas of my life and yet I am in this waiting game. Tonight I was reminded that as Jesus had the cross before Him, those hours in the garden right before were necessary. He needed to go and seek the face of His Father. He needed to go further still. (Matt. 26:38-39) He wrestled with the dread for the task He was about to undertake. I know that God isn't asking us to take on all the sins of the world for all the ages ever to be,

1 Thes. 5:16-18

"Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus." 1 Thes. 5:16-18 NIV How simple are these three verses and yet we think that there is so much more we need to do, for us to be in God's will. We take them in and let them out so easily. As if God CAN'T want something so simple, He is a BIG God and so He MUST want something BIG. This is a lie. We run around in circles trying to figure out the will of God and yet we can't seem to find it because we are looking in the WRONG direction. We hear God, We MOVE, and then leave God in the dust because He made a turn and we didn't hear him because we didn't STOP and ask. God doesn't change, His plans for us don't change, YET we seem to think that He is the one that changes when we head in the wrong direction. We blame Him for ditching us and not telling us when to move, when REALLY it is us who didn't stop and ask for a new direction.
