Ah, I’m so sorry I haven’t been keeping up with these. This entire month has been extremely hectic with events, the remodeling, bridal shower planning, the list goes on. But I’m back and ready to feed that soul of yours with some soul food!
This week’s passages: TRAINING IN STEADINESS and KEEPING YOUR EYES ON ME. Both of these really stuck out to me in terms of my occupation. As a blogger and influencers, when you see other girls snagging huge opportunities, you can’t help but at times wonder why you’re not there yet or why that person isn’t you. I’m honestly really good at not comparing myself and that’s because I know that God won’t allow things to happen until I am ready for them – thus I don’t necessarily have fomo because I know my time will eventually come! I hope you enjoy this week’s snippets; as I read them, I smiled because I knew God was talking to me through them – telling me He’s got me and thus giving me peace in my heart.
I AM TRAINING YOU IN STEADINESS. Too many things interrupt your awareness of Me. I know that you live in a world of sight and sound, but you must not be a slave to those stimuli. Awareness of Me can continue in all circumstances, no matter what happens. This is the steadiness I desire for you. Do not let unexpected events show you off course. (This is SO important) Rather, respond calmly and confidently, remembering that I am with you. As soon as something grabs your attention, talk with Me about it. Thus I share your joys and your problems; I help you cope with whatever is before you. This is how i live in you and work through you. This is the way of Peace.
KEEP YOUR EYES ON ME, not only for direction but also for empowerment. I never lead you to do something without equipping you for the task. That is why it’s so important to seek MY will in everything you do. There are so many burned-out Christians who think more is always better, whom deem it unspiritual to say no (daaanngggggg..!!)
In order to know My all, you must spend time with Me – enjoying My Presence. This is not an onerous task but a delightful privilege. I will show you the path of Life; in My Presence is fullness of Joy; at my right hand there are pleasures forevermore.
