What it’s not about

trut

Although my ability to trust God with ordering the steps of my life, has come a long way from where it used to be, there is still (and I fear always will be) room for improvement.
Often times I realize that my impatience over seeing God work in my life stems from my distrust of His ability to work due to my own actions.
I start to wonder did I dot every “i” or cross every “t?” Did I do everything right in order for God to work in my life?
Then God taps me on the shoulder and says gently, “Child it is not about you. It is not about what you do.

Right or wrong your actions do not determine my ability to work in your life.

As long as you have a heart that is open to do my will, I will bring you to where you need to be.

Trust Me! Trust that I am forever with you and will not let you self-destruct. I AM all that you need. Lean into me.”

Spirit lead me here

Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders
Let me walk upon the waters
Wherever You would call me
Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander
And my faith will be made stronger
In the presence of my Savior

– Hillsong (Oceans)

 

 

True Faith

 

“If we insist on visible proofs from God, we may well prepare the way for a permanent state of disappointment. True faith does not so much attempt to manipulate God to do our will as it does to position us to do his will.

As I searched through the Bible for models of great faith, I was struck by how few saints experienced anything like Job’s dramatic encounter with God. The rest responded to the hiddenness not by demanding that he show himself, but by going ahead and believing him though he stayed hidden.”

– Phillip Yancey

There is none of these with God

No shortcuts with God. Our second chance bring us full circle to the place where we have to choose full obedience. While we may want to find the easiest road to complete obedience, our heart must be set on doing God’s will – His way and in its entirety – even if it takes longer than we’d prefer or requires more effort. – Priscilla Shirer
