Trudging On.

25 May 2010 by sypace

Wow.  I went to my blog this morning just to visit an old friend and realized that I have been silent for almost six weeks.  I want to share with you, where my heart is.  I had to confront a major issue in my life just before I stopped writing.  It flat knocked me on my tail and sent me for a loop.  It has also had the effect of making the words dry up.  I have sort of just tucked my head down, put on my work boots and trudged through the daily busy-ness and stumbled on.  But my heart has been so heavy and all the busy-ness taken it’s toll.  Not only have the words dried up, but I’ve had a hard time hearing my Redeemer.  Satan is not whispering in my ear but shouting words of hate, anger and despair.  I would like to say that I have just been taking some time to regroup and refocus but I wouldn’t be telling the truth.  I decided today that it’s time to slam the door on Satan’s voice and let God reveal His comfort for me.  Hopefully along the way, by sharing my struggles, someone else will be able to take comfort from a fellow believer staggering along and give him/her the strength to reach for God’s hand and let Him walk with you.

One of the verses in my devotional scripture from today was Psalm 119: 2 Blessed are they who keep his statutes and seek him with all their heart. If you are like me and have been struggling under the weight of a burden, let’s seek Him with all our heart.  He treasures our willingness to seek Him.  He longs to be our Comforter, Sustainer and Friend.  I don’t know about you, but I need that right now.  Join me in seeking Him?

Hearing the Voice of God.

02 Oct 2008 by sypace

Last night was our First Wednesday service at Grace Community Church and Josh Hayes brought the word of God to us and then we had communion.  Josh said some things last night that really hit home with me.  He was talking about our prayer life and particularly he was using Paul as the example.  He asked the question “How well do you know God.  If He told you to go do something, would you hear and recognize His voice?”  I was thinking about my own life and the peaks and valley’s of my prayer life and my own relationship with my Saviour.  I had to admit to myself that I have not really felt like I am hearing the voice of God lately.  I know that this revelation, spurred on by Josh’s pointed question, was like an arrow in my heart.  As I sat there contemplating where I was(am) in my walk I felt such despair and pain.  Knowing that God is right there with His hand out willing to walk with us as long as we will let Him and that we are often too busy and self-absorbed to get it is terrifying and painful. 

I don’t know about you, but for me, this world is an overwhelming place and trying to control everything myself is not working out very well.  I want to be like Josh said last night.  I want to talk to God about man as well as talking to man about God.  I want to be fruitful.  I want tthe true wisdom of God.  I want to be a woman with a heart for God.  I want to be all that God intends for me to be and lean on Him totally to do that.  I am tired of trying to be the CEO of the universe. 

The Bible tells us in Isaiah 30:21 – “Your ears will hear a word behind you, “This is the way, walk in it,” whenever you turn to the right or to the left.”  I want to be committed to listening to that word.  To making it the most important thing in my life.  I want God to direct me when I am straying off the path that He has planned for my life.  Forging my own path is too hard and painful.  My pryaer today is that I will be quiet and hear the voice with an obedient heart.
