(This is from May 24, 2009. I think it's amazing looking back and seeing all of the things I was understanding back then, and how the Lord has been confirming them in my life ever since.)
The
Lord has been teaching me this week that I need to be grounded in Him. When everything falls apart around me, my
faith doesn’t have to waver. I will crumble if I’m living for the ways of the
world, because, I will never meet up to the expectations that it holds. And when I fail to meet those expectations, I
will have forgotten my true purpose in life, and feel so lost and so completely
empty inside. (I know from experience…)
But, if I’m allowing Christ to consume all of my life, I will have faith
and confidence in Him. So that, no matter what happens, I can stand strong
because of my faith in Him. In order to
get to this point, I have to be seeking the Lord, through prayer and in His
word. I have to surrender my life to Him
and be ready to step into His plans for me.
Also, I’ve noticed that when I am daily spending time with the Lord and
in His word, it changes my perspective on life.
Because, I start to see things more like He sees them. It really gives me a much more positive
attitude and a lot more patience, when I daily surrender to the Lord. Also, when I’m focused on the Lord and what
He’s doing. I can realize that even
though situations may be really tough, they’re happening for a reason.
