As I was thumbing through my bible this morning, reading the many diffrent verses that I have marked, for one season of my life, or another. They all speak to me, reminding me of the diffrent places I have been, and some verses giving me hope of the future, and where I will go.
It seems that my verses for this year has been Jeremiah 29:11-14 and Joshua 24:14-15. Any time I go to study or have an issue God calls me to these passages.
So, this mornimg as I am searching for a word from my Father, I ran across Jeremiah 7:23 "But this is what I commanded them saying`Obey My voice, and I will be your God, and you shall be My people. And walk in all the ways I have commanded you, that it may be well with you.' "
I have read verse this many times before, but today it just stuck out there. So I read it again, and God spoke to me so clearly, To Me, and I think, who am I that God, The Alpha and Omegha, The King of Kings, The Everlasting, The Savior of the world, and my soul, why would He speak to me? So I read it again, and I found the reason why He spoke to me, He spoke to me, because I AM HIS.
Wow!!! How in awe am I at this fact.
Even though I've known this since I accepted Jesus into my heart, and life, still there are times when it hits me all over again that I, Lesa Lee, a sinner, a servent, a nobody in many peoples eyes, belongs to The King, My Savior, who came to earth to save me, Me.
Jesus sits at the edge of His Throne, in Heaven waiting, every second of every day for me, little ole me, to engage Him in my every day life, my clothes washing, my floor sweeping, my husbnd loving, my child rearing, and all the other mundane things I do from day to day.
Jesus Christ wants to be envolved in my life, because He LOVES ME, because I AM HIS.
Oh, praise Jesus!!!! Can you feel it?
The other meaningful thing God was showing me, or really just reminding me, is that if I keep my eyes on Him, and keep Him first in my life, all will be well with me. Now hear me out, I'm not saying there won't be troubles, but, when life gives me trials and tribulations, and forks in the road, I know He will always be there.
I have to allow Him to guide my life, no matter where life leads me, He, my Jesus, will be right there with me, with His loving arms around me.
I always find it very inspiring that these three scriptures tie together very nicely.(Joshua 24:14-15, Jeremiah 29:11-14, ans Jeremiah 7:23) I have been struggling with direction and purpose, but I have confidance that with God leading my life, all will be well with me.
How precious is the gift of God's guidence in our lives. If we would just trust Him.
The funny thing is He knows the plan for our lives and He would never hurt us, or guide us wrong. God loves us, we are His children, so of course He wouldn't want us hurt in any way. Would we want our own children hurt, and God loves us more than we could ever love our own babies.
Ok I'm rambling, so I will end this now, with the joy and peace of knowing that God knows His plans for me, and they are good plans, better than I can ever imagine.
And I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!
