Let God be God

Let God be God:

Rather than waiting for things to happen and becoming stuck in the mud, or stagnant and feeling lost we need to meet God where He’s at.

God, meet the desires of my heart, I want to do this for you. What you want to do could very well be godly choices and good ways to be used by God, but when things are really hard and forced sometimes we need to readdress. I have been telling God how I’ve been wanting to be used by Him for quite some time now not realizing I was praying for me, me, me……

Psalm 37:4 Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart. Huh! That’s exactly what I was praying and standing on the promise for desires of MY heart, that’s what this Psalm says, right? Actually, if we fine tune and magnify part of this scripture, it says ‘Delight yourself in the Lord’, this is so important for if I were delighted in Him I’d know I am not better than the Lord so therefore delighting myself in Him< He will give me the desires of my heart. God knows the trueness of our being and our hearts are His. So I was wrong trying to do it my way, I could not figure out why the things I wanted to do I thought were for God were unclear achievements, they were still godly options just not how God wanted most of my efforts to be used for Him, they showed me it’s okay to try a few things and if there not Gods will He will steer us in the right direction, and it doesn’t mean you can’t still perform many godly abilities just make sure they are and that you don’t force your will.

Back to the drawing board, praying I want to be used by you God, please use me, I will lose control over myself so your will, will be done, then I was finding myself soaking up every moment of the day focused on Jesus in the word and writing; poetry, blogs, devotionals, and a book…Hmm…who knew…

Stepping out to be uncomfortable brought me comfort, sounds kind of silly, hey? But in my uncomfortable moments when I had to put my trust in Him I found that God didn’t let me fail He allowed me to prevail. The comfort I thought I would not have, I gained in all the scripture learning and writing done with God’s hands on mine and the uncomfortable feelings brought blessings to others and peace into my heart.

When you are unsure of God’s will for your life have patience and keep praying, asking Him to unfold the desires of your heart through delighting yourself in Him. Don’t fret or try hard not to, for in the quiet moments when you think nothing is happening God is working all things out. Our quiet time shows dependence on Him and God wants us to totally depend on Him not others, keep scriptures close so you’ll gain wisdom and eventually be able to use verses to extinguish the flaming arrows the enemy throws at you, become equipped in the Lord to keep moving forward. Trust God.

Philippians 2:13 NIV for it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose.

2 Corinthians 1:4 NIV who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God.

Ephesians 6:16 NIV In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.
