Dailies~ in His Word
April 3, 2019
As a writer for Christ I can have a lot to say or a little,
but God speaks through the words when I give it up to Him. I could get all
puffed up when someone asks me to sign a book; for a time I refused to sign
them but then realized it was an opportunity to make a statement! I write a
personal note that I can hope will reach the heart of the reader and give them
the scripture I think will as well. Once I gave that to God I found signing to
be an exciting and encouraging thing for myself as well. It was because I made
it not about me just as my books are not about me.
Truth be told, I am not a good writer at all, I have issues,
I have pride, and think I am not good enough. I am not; but God is! If it were not for God being on my side I
would not have written my first book! If it were not for God being on my side I
would not have spoken in front of people at all! I will say it, I love speaking
in front of people now! It is exciting to bring the Word of God to people and
encourage them face to face! I also am terrified to speak in front of people; I
mean this really, because it’s not me but God in me who speaks! Before I knew
Jesus as my Lord I was pretty much shy, I tried to be the bubbly self my
brother said I was but I was not myself in front of people; I was okay one on
one but lead a group? That took God! He changed
me into the person I am today. I fail a lot, but I keep going. I fall but I get
back up! I keep trying. We can get up and keep going because we can trust God
to keep us going! Not as in ourselves but through Christ!
Trust the Lord with all your heart and don’t try to
understand it all but accept that God is leading us down the path He has put
before us!
And we have such trust through Christ toward God. Not that we
are sufficient of ourselves to think of anything as being from
ourselves, but our sufficiency is from
God, who also
made us sufficient as ministers of the new covenant, not of the
letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives
life. 2 Corinthians 3:4
I have to trust that God has a
reason for this entire ramble today and that it will help someone this morning
as I post it.
Heavenly Father, thank you for
being the push behind us that encourages us to speak, to teach, to do whatever
it is You have chosen for us to do, In Jesus name, amen.
