Faith in God
We make the stupidest of mistakes when we are not focused on God. I made one this past Friday, and have been struggling with my decision ever since. It has actually turned out to be a life changing experience for me. These past few days, and especially today because of the snow, I have plunged into God's word and have started to pray like never before. This has strengthened my relationship with God drastically and I am a changed man because of it.
As Paul said, not that I have acheived it, but I press onward to the mark God has called me too. And like Paul, God has given me huge clarity of purpose. Yes, I had to be blinded and knocked off my high horse, but God has shown up in my life like never before.
He has shown me that I need to be in lock step with Him. He has shown me that even the smallest decisions should be made with God in mind. It always helps to pause for a second, and think about what God is doing here. What is His plan? What is His purpose? Many times it is unclear, but only through much reading of His word and prayer will things begin to make sense.
The future is uncertain, primarily because God has empowered us to make decisions. Decisions that either nail Him to the cross or give Him the glory. What is certain are God's promises. We know and understand His promises by knowing His word and being in constant communion with Him sharing every aspect of our lives, from the smallest to the biggest.
I don't know if we could ever do it fully because of our fallen nature, but the more we give God the control in our lives the better off we are. For who better to deal with our life situations then our Creator, our Father God.
Jesus is our Savior and he has called us to walk with Him. We are more then conquerers with Him by our side, and with Him all things are possible. God continues to call us to Him, and we must answer His call. If we don't answer it we will be left forever wondering what it would have been like to walk by His side all the days of this short life that God has given us. May we all continue to seek His face and begin to know the awesome Presence and Glory of our Lord, the author and perfecter of our faith.
