Hello everyone!
I wanted to create this blog to share what God has been teaching me because I have been learning that what we learn about God shouldn't be kept to ourselves. It's meant to be shared. So, with that being said, I wanted to talk about something that God has been working in me lately.
A few weeks ago, I had a really rough trial to face. One that I experienced a lot of anxiety before walking into it because I knew it would be hard and honestly, I knew it would break my heart in a lot of different ways. It's still sad and I still inwardly am grieving about it. That being said, while I was going through this trial, I spent a lot more time in the Bible and in prayer. While I was going through it, God granted me His perfect peace. It was hard and full of sadness but it was not full of despair because God's love and peace was running through my veins. My eyes were on Him. Throughout this trial, I took a break from social media which also freed up a lot of my time and allowed me to focus on God and truly hear what He wanted to tell me. My ears and heart were listening. He taught me a couple of takeaway lessons.
1. He brought me to a passage in Genesis 18 where God tells Sarah that she will have a son although she was past child bearing age. In that passage, Sarah laughs and God responds in verse 14; "Is anything too hard for the Lord?" When reading that, the obvious answer is clearly no. The creator of the universe can easily do anything He desires. Nothing is too hard. But when I really thought about it, I thought about how we often don't pray like nothing is too hard for the Lord. We still doubt and we stop praying for certain things or we pray but we pray with a little bit of hopelessness in our heart because we don't truly believe it will happen. We put limits on what we pray for. We may say we know that nothing is too hard for the Lord, but do we actually live that out? Do we pray like nothing is too hard for the Lord?
2. He taught me the beauty in getting to truly know Him in the wait. He taught me how if I knew everything at once, I probably wouldn't appreciate and see how He has so perfectly orchestrated each little piece of my life. I wouldn't grow in my walk with Christ and I wouldn't grow in love. I would miss out greatly if I wasn't told to wait and see what the Lord would do in the craziest and hardest of circumstances.
3. He taught me that if there was a better place for me to be to serve and glorify Him that I'd be there. I don't need to worry and doubt if I'm where I should be in life right now if I'm truly seeking Him and His will. For if I'm doing that, there is no doubt I'm where I'm meant to be and if I'm meant to be elsewhere, God will guide me elsewhere. So, rest in that and be content in where you are. Find joy in it.
These are just a few things and He is continuing to reveal His might and power and awesomeness each day. But I think I'll end here. But I urge you friends; seek Him and seek Him with all your heart.
Let's journey together and find that mountain moving faith.
