Mar 1: 1 Chronicles 10-19
I've been praying a lot for direction in my life from God and asking Him for a vision on how I could serve His kingdom. I feel like God has revealed to me that I'm in a sort of a training phase in my life the past year and that I should remain patient and continue to be built up through His word before He uses me. All of this was good with me, except today I got really impatient. I've been feeling really detached from work and continue to realize that there's not enough passion there to really sustain me and I had this longing for something more fulfilling. I still don't know what I'll do but God continues to tell me to be still and patient.
In chapter 17, King David was hanging out in his palace when he realized that the ark of the covenant is under a tent. He wanted to know what he should do and that night, God revealed to the prophet Nathan that David's son Solomon would be the one that would build the house of God and not him. King David had good intentions to serve but God works on his own time and his own methods. Similarly, I know my intentions and motives to serve God are good, but I need to be patient and really trust in His provision for me. I don't know if He wants me to stay where I am, or if He plans to use me elsewhere. I just know that I need to be selfless in following Him and have faith that His plan is perfect for me.

ReplyDeleteJeremiah 29:11-14
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you," declares the LORD...
Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.
I felt detached from work today. Then I got really busy and stressed. Praise God, seriously. I'm the biggest doubter at times, I'm sure you can tell by now. But I'm amazed by what He's constantly doing in my life right now. Random conversations, random convictions, He gives us all that we need to keep running this race for him. For reals man, getting to know you and the rest of our CR team has been a major blessing. Don't burn out man, keep fanning.
