Wisdom

God gives us wisdom.

We all have tough situations to walk through but God is not the author of confusion.

Seek his face in the midst of uncertainty. He gives peace and you know you are comforted because this peace is overwhelming.

We make rash decisions when we are emotional so choose wisdom over your feelings.

The Wait

The Christian life is not easy. It consists of waiting, waiting and more waiting. It consists of trusting, preserving, and resilience. Sometimes you’ll feel like you’ve been waiting foreverrrrrrr. Just when you want to give up, God shows up. Or maybe in the midst of you giving up, you get back up and then months later you see God show up. He has his own timing and it never matches ours. A lot of the time we think the devil is the one holding us back from God’s promises but most of the time it is a factor of timing. God knows what he is doing and the longer you are waiting, the more he is preparing you so get hopeful because what you are waiting on is huge. You don’t give a baby a brand new car to drive. You wait until it is full grown and able to practice for a while, then it has to study and pass a written test to have a permit for a year, then take the driving test to get a license, then pay for a car, then pay insurance, gas and take car of the car. Big blessings come with big responsibility and that’s where we fail. We forget what we are praying for so much comes with a great responsibility. We dream about the good parts and the good feeling we’ll have when we get there. We never dream about the difficult days we may have. At the end of the day we all hate the wait. But we all need it.

My Portion

My God is my portion.

He supplies all my needs.

We have an enemy who is our adversary and will do anything to keep us from pursuing what God has planned for our lives.

He does this by throwing in distractions when you are on the right path. He uses people to mess with you and trip you and sometimes you might stumble.

What I’ve learned is “1 John 3:21-23 “Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence toward God. And whatever we ask we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments and do those things that are pleasing in His sight.  And this is His commandment: that we should believe on the name of His Son Jesus Christ and love one another, as He gave us commandment.”

After having a rough night full of doubt, regrets, embarrassment, struggle, stress and more difficult things, it is so easy, probably too easy to condemn myself. I’ve been replaying over and over how I acted towards certain people or how I could have done something better but I didn’t. It is easy to focus on what you did wrong than what you did right.

As I’m sitting here writing this my heart, soul and mind is being healed by the comforter Holy Spirit. The best thing I can do is allow him to cleanse me and make me new but I also must understand that I am not perfect.

As a believer we want to be perfect. We do not want to deal with sin ever. We don’t want to have a bad day ever. We don’t want to see the ugliness in ourselves because we believe we should be spiritually mature enough to handle any situation.

I realize that is not how life works. I am still learning and growing and that process does not stop. I am not shocked by the enemy’s schemes but I am not always prepared fully. Every day we need the armor of God to resist the fiery arrows of the devil. He’s not giving up and neither should we.

Yet my God sustains me. My God redeems me. Now I know what I need to do to prepare before I go out to battle. I pray and ask my Father to help me, guide me, and protect me. I know I am forgiven and loved.

I have complete wholeness in God the Father. I have complete joy.

He is my portion.
