This morning as I look at Psalm 2 from the Message I read - "But if you make a run for God - you won't regret it." Over the last few weeks God has refreshed my spirit. Diving into His word and walking this journey is exciting. I have been encouraged as I have my thoughts set on this new service that we are looking at doing. Too often I let myself get in the way but we have been covering this service in prayer. God's got some big plans for this service and for those who are a part of it. I think of how God placed this on Tanner's heart to stay and dig into leading this service with me. I needed the encouragement I received from him. It was in my immaturity that I was trying to carry the burden of this service by myself. It is not my service in the first place but God's, it is God's passion that is within me for this service. Help me to not lose sight of this.
1 Samuel - the journey continues as David is still being pursued by Saul. Until Saul ends up in the same cave of David and his men. David cuts a piece of Saul's robe to show him how he could have taken things into his hands but chose not to. This story is sprinkled with a beautiful connection between David and God. He calls out to God for answers and that is exactly what he receives. This makes me think of how my close my connection is. I too often pray for answers but then I haven't waited to hear them. The faithfulness of David is refreshing, knowing God has the best planned for us and we need only to be patient.
As the journey continues I am striving for a stronger faith and connection with God. Faith so that I will not quickly become entangled by the temptations that are all around us. Connection so that I will always realize that I am not strong enough to handle the temptations but must constantly surrender myself into the hands of a loving heavenly Father. Faith and connection together so I may know the Creator of all things more intimately than I currently do.
