Your love oh Lord, reaches to the heavens, your grace is like the ocean's tide, and your righteousness is like a mighty mountain, your faithfulness reaches to the sky. I will lift my voice and worship you my God. I will lift my voice and worship you my king. Bless me this day with your presence. aw

All things work together for good

The Lord has had me under heavy conviction as of late nudging me ever closer to Himself. Over the last several months I have been asking God to reignite His spirit within me, the flame that He warns us to not quench. I knew that somewhere deep within me I was holding back part of myself from Him and not trusting Him completely. Sometimes questioning if the fire within me had all but gone out, haunted by scriptures like; the ones comparing cold Christians to salt that had lost it's saltiness being useless and thrown out to be trampled by men, or the scripture that speaks of those in the end times who will have a form of religion but deny His power, that faith without works is dead, that pure religion is to care for widows and orphans in need, and the list goes on.

Part of me thought that He would answer quickly, but He has not. Part of which is probably due to my inconsistency in spending time with Him. I want to be closer, but the things of this world, it's distractions, busyness, and my physical exhaustion pull and tear me from His ams. BALANCE is so difficult when we don't allow God to hold the scales.

Most times in relationships love comes softly, through time and experiences shared. I am working on it. Everyday coming a little closer to the fire, allowing myself to trust in it's warmth and light, and less fearful of being burned. God has been revealing more of Himself to me, slowly coaxing me to trust Him. Not Pushing. Just Loving. Today I went for a walk with God and during our visit I noticed the birds singing, the beautiful sky, and ask Him to change me into who He wants me to be. That is when the words, "Psalm 32:9"quietly passed through my thoughts. At first I dismissed it, and continued talking To him (and not listening to him). Then again, "Psalm 32:9". This time I heard. I understood. My pace quickening I made my trek home. I couldn't wait to read what it said... "Do not be like the mule or the horse, which have no understanding but must be controlled by bit and bridle or they will not come to you." Wow.

So, wanting to understand the context I read Psalm 32:8-11

"I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you and watch over you. Do not be like the horse or the mule, which have no understanding but must be controlled by bit and bridle or they will not come to you. Many are the woes of the wicked, but the Lord's unfailing love surrounds the man who trusts in him. Rejoice in the Lord and be glad, you righteous; sing, all you who are upright in heart!" ok.

I'M SINGING LORD! I AM SINGING.
