The Daily Journey: More on The Holy Spirit
Sorry I missed my post for this morning. I am very hectic with work with starting a huge job this morning.
I want to challenge you to start listening to what the Spirit of God is telling you and do it. Many times I have felt God moving me to do something for him and started doubting it and never followed through. His will may conflict with your agenda, desires and reason many times.
For instance, last summer at this time we felt God was telling us to sell our house and move to north Knoxville to form a church. We started planning out the move and decided it would take a couple of months to get the house ready to list. As we prayed about is we started feeling God tell us to get it ready for market by two weeks instead. I had to start working late nights to do this. Any other spare time we had was house hunting in the Halls area. We list the house in two weeks and it was under a contract two weeks later. We moved by the end of August. Later last winter I found out that in September the mortgage industry totally changed their standards on home loans. Because I am self-employed it would have been 100 time harder if not impossible for us to have moved. God is totally good and wants the best for us. Too many times we think we know whats best.
So a challenge you over the weekend to sacrifice your thoughts and desires for his will and see what starts to happen in your life. He may ask you to step out in love to help a friend, a stranger or even your spouse. Or maybe to stop and listen to your kids talk. Be sensative to his gentle nugde and whisper in your spirit as he starts t lead you. Don’t let fear or doubt get in your way.
“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the LORD. As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earthand making it bud ad flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, so is my word that goes out from my mouth: it will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.” Isaiah 55:8-11
