Thank You Father for this day! We praise you! Hallelujah!
Hey friends! God bless you all...
So I sometimes tell folks, "God spoke to me and this is what he said..." and often they ask, "what do you mean He spoke to you?"
So this morning I had a perfect example of how the Lord speaks to us.
I try my very best to get into God's word first thing but being a working mother with kids in school its very hard to get time with our Father. I'm beginning to realize its time I started waking up extra early so that I can have more peace and alone time with Him before I get my day started. Discipline will have to occur for that because I have a hard time getting out of bed. Having a 1 yr old at home who wakes up at night, tends to leave me clinging to the bed in the morning...but that's besides the point.
Any how, during my morning rush this morning I began speaking to God and saying the usual, "Good morning Father, Good morning Jesus, I bless you, I pray for you, I worship you..." but then I stopped myself and said, no I need to get down on my knees and slow down for the Lord.
So I did, I pressed pause on the "mom" button and got on my knees and prayed for the day. I always have this super over whelming sense that I need to do more for the Lord so I asked in my prayer for God to show me what more I can do for Him. I want to be all that I can be for Him and I feel like I'm not doing enough.
So on the way to work I was listening to the local christian radio station and Ron Hutchcraft was speaking. I was so grateful to God for using Ron to speak to me. Ron's message was a little something like this:
Have you ever felt obligated to do GREAT things for the Lord? Have you felt that what you do is not enough? Do you feel there is so much MORE you can do?
Listen folks the bible does not say we are to do GREAT works...it says "good works"
Ephesians 2:10
For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which god prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.
In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.
...God knows our circumstances and we have to trust that we are where He wants us to be in our lives. We give up the course of our own lives and trust in Jesus to guide us on His right path. Whatever God put in our way throughout our days, we have to be a reflection of Jesus and show our good works. God's works may be raising the spirits of a friend who feels down or complimenting our children on their school work, or perhaps calling an old friend who we haven't spoken to in a while. It could be giving a friendly smile to a stranger, it can be helping a neighbor with yard work...whatever good we can do in our daily lives let it all be to the glory of God!
I mean WOW! God spoke right to me, to answer the prayer I said to him just MINUTES before listening to Ron speak on the radio on my way to work! Remember whatever your life circumstance in life, once you give up your life to Christ Jesus, you our on God's path! He will guide your life right and bring people or circumstances to you, for you to do good in His name. This isn't about US folks...its about Jesus! Its about our Father! Bring Him in ALL you do! Then you are doing the will of our Father...you are on Jesus' path. AMEN AMEN AMEN!!!! All Glory be to God in the Highest! Hallelujah!
This is how God speaks friends! We have to pay attention. Let go and let God! We have to realize we are not in control...I am not in control. I will make sure in all that I do, I do for the good and for the glory of God. AMEN!
He hears your prayers...He speaks friends! Listen....
