Good morning, Good afternoon, Good evening, or maybe I should just say Good Day!
How was your weekend? Mine was busy, I worked hard, and enjoyed every minute of it!
Right now I am still off from my regular job on Fridays, and although it is a bit difficult financially it is wonderful to have the extra time to give to Jesus. I go to church and help, wherever I can. This weekend I was privileged to be able to clean up the weeds in the flower beds. By the time my husband Tim had arrived and we finished up, Tim took a look at some things that need to be accomplished so that he can be prepared to do do them, when he stops in again. We then went to Hanover and did a few errands. By that time it was time to go home.
Saturday was another busy day...I was supposed to drive over to Reading with a dear friend to visit another dear friend...but this didn't work out...but it will happen the next time I plan it. So instead I made some bread for my husband's lunches or whatever. I made a little gift for a new baby that will be here soon. I weeded my flower beds all along the front of our house. Cleaned up my kitchen...played with my goats and the dog a bit. And started the hemming of a jacket for my husband...it was a very busy and productive day....
Then Sunday, oh what a wonderful service, not that other's aren't, but our Pastor has been away on a bit of a vacation and there was the couples retreat...so it has been a few weeks since he has preached to us...but I'll tell you what...the Preacher was in the house yesterday....AMEN!
What an awesome lesson....in Romans 8: 28....all things work together for good, for them that love the Lord....and just what this means....Pastor Don started out and then kind of stopped and brought back some of the worship team to sing a song that one of our very talented worship leaders wrote....some of the words are as follows:
I wanna know you God
I wanna see the way you see
I wanna hear what you are saying
I wanna know you God
I wanna know you God
Then Pastor Don went on to teach us about seeing ourselves thru the lens of who we were created to be, by God. God wants us to see ourselves through His lens, so that we may strive to be what He created us to be. Each and everyone of us is created with a Godly purpose. And if you aren't walking with God, you are not able to walk in the path that He created for you....how terribly sad is that?
But God, there are those two words again, can sneak up on you and get your attention...and it may not be in a way that you want, but God will get your attention. Pastor Don say Jehovah Sneaky, I just love that little phrase...it just makes me giggle...Jehovah Sneaky will sneak up on you, He does what He needs to do, to get you where you need to be.
So once God has gotten your attention it is time to get radical...now unfortunately this word has become associated with some pretty bad stuff...but the way we are using this word here, is not in any way, shape, or form, bad stuff.
As in radical obedience to God. Or you could actually say complete and total obedience to God. God doesn't want us to come to Him Luke warm. He wants us to come to Him, on fire for Him! Are you on fire for Jesus? And I think that we will continue on this same note tomorrow...so for today, go and find someone to bless!
