Well, it's not HOT in my neck of the woods in temperature (not today anyway) but it's sure been a HOT minute since I last posted. For that I am so sorry but it seems my life has been consumed with doctor appointments, tests, and MORE tests, biopsies, surgery and so much more. One day at a time sweet Jesus is all that any of us can ask for. Wanted to pop in on this beautiful Sunday afternoon to share a little about what I've been up too. Marty and I enjoyed a weekend at the beach before I had breast cancer surgery and took advantage of the time I had in between so many doctor appointments and testing. It was sure a good little getaway. We celebrated our 47th wedding anniversary in September. WOW! Just babies! LOL! We were high school sweethearts. Started dating at age 16. Married at age 18 and started a family at age 20. We celebrated Marty's birthday in October. He says that he's feeling his age these days. LOL! He still works 4 days a week and has a long commu...
Why do we put limits on what God can do through us?
As I was watching the episode of the Bible last night I could not shake the thoughts of how Moses allowed God to use Him in such profound ways. I know the story...I've read it, studied it and hace taught it. But it became alive all of a sudden. WHY? Because Moses was obedient and had faith that the God He served was real and that He would supply for whatever needs that Moses had. All Moses had to do was TRUST HIM. Moses also knew by the past faithfulness of God that He would not let him down. God's faithfulness is tried and true for us...so why do we doubt?
With me it seems that I start out good with having "Faith" that Christ will supply what is needed to bring Glory to Him. The next thing I know I've allowed Satan to sneak in and place doubts in my mind. Sometimes even well meaning Christians can be a hinderance to our faith if we are not soley standing on His promises. And to be totally honest there has been times I've tried to do things on my on and not rely on Christ to do it through me.
The truth is we can't accomplish what is set out before us...in and of ourselves. When I do things in my own strength I always set myself up for failure. But everytime I have let go of the reigns of control and trust God at a deeper level not only does He do amazing things but I learn even more about myself!
May I be like Moses and not doubt God. May I be one that totally steps out of the scene so God can do His Stuff through me! May we all strive to TRUST God more and be OBEDIENT.
"Commit your way to the Lord; trust in Him". Psalm 37:5
That is the key! Committing our WAY to the Lord! Then Trusting Him to do ONLY as He can do!
