Moving forward,
"I'm done chasing feelings."
That's a big one for me.
Most often we need to make the move before we get the confirmation from God. We may get a promise, a prophecy, but we need to act on it - which means that we trust it - for things to happen. And the devil will attack you with fear, lethargy, and worry to keep you locked down in passivity. But this is not from God, and we need to make our stand against that, by the Word and by action.
This whole winter season I listened to this song from the Clark Sisters w. Rance Allen: Trust in Him. And they sing "you ought to try Him! Put your trust in Him." and "until you trust Him, you will never know"... 🎶 A friend of mine said "I don't want any 'what if's in my life', and how true that should be when it comes to going for God in this time-limited life. We believe we shall live forever - but in this first life, it is really now or never. Now is the time to live, because all you have is now. Sounds like a cliché, but how true it is.
Let's read Psalms 90 today, and ponder verses 10 and 12.. Teach us to number our days, that we may attain wisdom in our hearts.
Isaiah 40:6,7 also nails the truth of our lives as fleeting; short and frail, as the grass that soon withers in the scorching sun.
So, in one way we should take our lives seriously and make the most of our time here, and make it matter to God. But also it expresses insignificance, that we shouldn't try to hold on for dear life to squeeze the most juice out of it.. Another friend of mine said that in all things we need to be properly balanced. Like the strings of a guitar, if they are too tight, they will sound bad, and if they are too loose, they probably won't make much sound at all. But just the right amount of tension, and you will have an instrument suited to make beautiful harmonies.
Heavenly Father, I pray that we might trust you even though we can't feel You, even if we're unsure about the future - cause we can trust you, we can depend on You and rely on You. You will never leave us nor forsake us, even if we take a wrong turn, make a wrong decision. Even then you won't leave us, but everywhere we go, you are there with us. Thankyou Jesus, and thank you Holy Spirit for walking with us here on earth even though you could just enjoy all the glories of Heaven without us - but You won't let us alone because You care for us, your children and your creation. Father, grant us also a proper balance in all aspects of our lives, to walk Your paths of righteousness in all things. Thank you dear God. In Jesus' name, Amen. 🙏😊
