Hard Decisions

Steven and I are facing a few major decisions that could greatly alter - even shake - our lives! It's nothing to freak out about, but it is something that will impact us greatly! We are praying that God would so reveal himself and that He would grant clarity on one issue in particular! As we seek His will for our lives, we are also begging Him to make us open to whatever the answer may be - that we would so completely lay our lives down and set our selfish ambitions aside - for His Kingdom's Sake!!

With that said: I had a great time with the Lord this morning, and although clarity has not yet been given to me, I found what I read to be rather interesting!

"The greatest hindrance in our spiritual life is that we will only look for big things to do. Yet, "Jesus . . . took a towel and . . . began to wash the disciples’ feet . . ." ( John 13:3-5 ).
We all have those times when there are no flashes of light and no apparent thrill to life, where we experience nothing but the daily routine with its common everyday tasks. The routine of life is actually God’s way of saving us between our times of great inspiration which come from Him. Don’t always expect God to give you His thrilling moments, but learn to live in those common times of the drudgery of life by the power of God.

I must realize that my obedience even in the smallest detail of life has all of the omnipotent power of the grace of God behind it. If I will do my duty, not for duty’s sake but because I believe God is engineering my circumstances, then at the very point of my obedience all of the magnificent grace of God is mine through the glorious atonement by the Cross of Christ."

Reveal Yourself, O Lord!
