The past two days have been emotional ones. A lot of people I know and love are hurting, emotionally right now. So I will take this time and space to share a few thoughts with those of you who are in that place. (you know who you are.. and I love you and I dedicate today's blog to you)
We sometimes allow ourselves to go to places in our minds that we believe, or think or feel is the right path. We pray about these things but often pray that God reveal to us that we are right or please God convince others that we are right and they are wrong. We often use our feelings as a gauge as to what we believe or the path we should take. We tend to not dig deeply into the right places and think things through in the right way. we tend to see things as black or white our way or the highway. This kind of thinking can be dangerous and more times than not faulty. Mostly because it is not Gods way of seeing things. We forget that scripture tells us that Gods ways are not our ways and Gods thoughts are not our thoughts. It is easy to get caught up in our feelings or the way we see something and forget that God sees everything, the beginning and the end all at the same time. He sees things that we cannot see. He knows things we cannot know. Most importantly we forget God is faithful. He is faithful to Love us in spite of ourselves, He is faithful to guide and direct us into the paths that He knows are best for us, He is faithful to help us to grow into the people He wants us to become. No matter what that takes. That is the part that catches us up. we don't understand why He would allow some things to happen in our lives. instead of crying why, we should be crying out what. not why God are you allowing this, but rather What God would you have me learn through this. Not easy when we are hurting. If we could just step back for a moment and let our anger, and disappointments and feelings fade into the background and ask the right questions we would have much more peace in our hearts as we surrender to God those things that are Gods.
Gods word tells us that we were never meant to understand but to trust even when we do not understand. I loved the words to a popular song that starts off ... "I'm not skilled to understand, what Gods has willed what God has planned" What a truth. One we need to remind ourselves of often. God spoke to us through this Sunday morning, Did you catch it? Did you hear God's voice in the voices of the children? I was reminded of the verse that says and a child shall lead them.
Love ya!
