Yesterday was a wonderful time in worship at church. The Lord is really touching my spirit and bringing some truths into my life that I am having difficulty with. Every have that happen to you?
The first thing He showed me by pinching me. You know how you get when you are in the middle of singing a wonderfully worshipful song, pouring your heart out, and the Lord just pinches you and asks, "Are you really 'getting' those words?" Ouch! Lately I have been doing quite a bit of belly-aching because of my situation. I KNOW that the Lord is there and has blessed me immensely, but do I truly believe "You give and take away...?" I guess I believe it when things are going well. But what of those times He takes away? And how do I respond when He does take away? Does my heart "choose to say, Lord, blessed be your name?" Wow! That was something that knocked me on my rear - quite literally! I had to sit down and contemplate that before I could even return to worshipping.
What about you? Tell me, how do you choose to bless the Lord even in the midst of your fire? I'm curious. I know, it's easier said than done, right?
And the question I am going to take with me for the rest of the week is this, "Is God still God no matter what my circumstances?" Well, of course He is! But how am I reflecting that and sharing that in my every-day life?
OK...so that was a little more deep for a "daily viewpoint" (which, by the way, seems to have turned into a weekly observation) but I just needed to get that out there.
