Direction.

May 29, 2012

Oh what a wonderful God we have! How great are his riches and wisdom and knowledge. How impossible it is for us to understand his decisions and his methods. For who can know what the Lord is thinking? Who knows enough to be his counselor? And who could ever give him so much that he would have to pay it back? For everything comes from him; everything exists by his power and is intended for his glory. To him be glory evermore. Amen.

Romans 11:33–36

WHO AM I? Has been the question running through my head over the last couple of days. Not in terms of an “identity crisis” ha. But more of a reminder that I am small.

Who am I to question God?

Who am I to demands answers from him?

I have so many life decisions to make at this moment in time and I often, like most Christian human beings, get caught up doing one of two things.

#1) I IGNORE IT—It is way easier to procrastinate. “I don’t have to make this decision for a couple of weeks, so I will just think about it.” But then I don’t actually think about because then I have to make a decision. And that is scary.

#2) WAITING ON GOD—this is where we can often get stuck because we say “I am just waiting on God to tell me where to go.” This is a legitmat thing. It is right to ask God for guidance and direction but we also need to be active. I can’t just sit on my couch and say God guide me and then do nothing about it.

So .. back to the passage. I am not always going to understand God’s will. I am not always going to know what He’s thinking. In fact, I think it is safe to say that in my time on earth, I will never understand. BUT, I need to trust Him. Everything is from Him and is intended for HIS GLORY. He is absolutely sovereign.

So Father, may I move. May I trust that you will guide me as I make these decisions. I may not understand. I may not be absolutely certain that the decisions I make are the right ones. BUt may I be reminded that I can be absolutely certain that you will guide me. That you will open doors to the right things and close the doors to the wrong things.

You are wonderful Lord and may I bring glory to you in all I do. I love you. Amen.

Sound.

May 28, 2012

The Lord is my strength and my shield;

in him my heart trusts, and I am helped;

my heart exults,

and with my song I give thanks to him. (Psalm 28:7 ESV)
He does not say “with a song I will give thanks”. He says “with my song I will give thanks”.
I get myself into thinking I’ll scroll through my list of hundreds of songs I sing and pick the praise Jesus one when it is due as if I can praise Jesus one moment and praise the world the next!
David says to praise is his song, his one voice! It is the tune he can’t help but sound when it harmonizes with his surrounding and when it absolutely clashes!
I wonder how many songs I sing. A school song, a friends song, a work song? Is Jesus a song or MY song?

God, may I sing of you always.
