It's Not About You!

God said to me today,

"You know, Cindy, this whole thing about losing your job and the spiritual journey I've had you travel these past 17 months isn't all about you...it's about David as well. This isn't all about you."

Gasp! God's voice was audible and as plain...whew. Tears immediately came to my eyes. It took my breath away. Even when I was in my car driving home after church thinking about what He had said...I, again, felt this physical phenomena...my breath was taken from me. I don't know how to explain it.

Lesson learned?

The road you're traveling is not necessarily all about you.

Open your eyes (spiritual eyes). Look at your husband, your children, your sister, your parents...this isn't all about you.

When was the last time God took your breath away?

Trust & Being Blind

Well, today Stan and I are going to learn about trust. For today is the day that we find out whether we got the Lennox contract. What does God have in store for us? He knows the desire of our hearts. Of course we see directly in front of us and we think we really need this work. But, we don't see the whole picture...we don't see with the eyes of God. So, what's realy going on out there in spiritual-land? I WISH I COULD SEE!!

Looked up the verse in Psalm 37 about "delightinig in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart." But, then I read the next verse (v.5).

"Commit your way to the Lord (roll and repose each care of your load on Him); trust (lean on, rely on, and be confident) also on Him, and He will bring it to pass."

ooooooooo.....

I flipped over to Proverbs not knowing what I was searching for and came upon Proverbs 16:3:

"Roll your works upon the Lord (commit and trust them wholly to Him; He will cause your thoughts to become agreeable to His will, and) so shall your plans be established and succeed."

whoa.....

Roll your works upon the Lord. What an interesting statement. And, in Psalms it says to "be confident." Then in Proverbs the "and" is in italics. In the Amplified Bible that means that the word "and" is not in the original text, but it is used to tie together or connect additional English words indicated in the same original word. So, my plans not only will be "established"...they will also "succeed."

wow.....

So, ladies....

ROLL YOUR WORKS UPON THE LORD. Trust and be confidently blind.
