But do you ever read that one devotion, that one scripture that turns your world upside down? That was me this morning. My devotion was what I needed, the Word from God that I needed to hear - pretty much a slap to the face. A word that said, "Get Up! Be what I have called you to be!" And that may be to serve whom He has placed me under, learn from what He places in my path and just be patient with Him.
Just because God told me what He has called me to be doesn't mean I automatically will jump in that position. Geez I mean look at the life of David. I am studying his life right now and to see how many years were in between when he was anointed and when he actually became king. Guess how many years! 22 YEARS! Yes! For 22 years he patiently waited and SERVED under the king that he knew he would eventually be. 22 years, wow! Can I honestly say that I would have patiently waited that long? David waited and served until that crown was finally placed on his head. Each trial during those 22 years prepared him for what he was called to be!
We can live out our lives frustrated, confused, angry and weighed down - but that's when we try to live this life on our own! We were not meant to do this thing by ourselves. Jesus is with us! He knows you better than you know yourself. He knows your frustrations and what makes you angry. Loves, just give it over to Him. Fall to your knees this morning and ask Him to forgive you for trying to fight this battle and live this life on your own. He already knows what you are dealing with but speak it to Him. Confess what you are feeling, express your emotions to Him. Just talk to Him! That's all He wants and that's exactly what I did this morning.
I am typing through tear-filled eyes. I am there loves. We get tired and worn out but that's because us women sometimes feel the need to be too strong for our own good. Turn it over to Him today beauties! He loves us so much and wants nothing but the best for us, we just need to learn to let Him have control. Man that word means so much! We like to have control, don't we? I know I do! Some would call it being a control freak, haha! But lets relinquish that control today to our Father that wants to love on us, help us get to where He has called us to be.
Be strong today loves. Remember to serve where you are at and whomever you are under. God has placed you where you are for a reason. Don't let this season pass and be fill with regrets.
"Because we know that this extraordinary day is just ahead, we pray for you all the time - pray that our God will make you fit for what he's called you to be, pray that he'll fill your good ideas and acts of faith with his own energy so that it all amounts to something. If your life honors the name of Jesus, he will honor you. Grace is behind and through all of this, our God giving himself freely, the Master, Jesus Christ, giving himself freely." 2 Thess. 1:11-12, The Message
