Blown Away By God's Grace
Isn't it funny that sometimes when we are seeking some great revelation and answer, that we almost always find out in the end that the answer was right in front of us all the time?
Recently I have reached a point through a long tough year where i felt GOD was not really bringing me out. 2010 has been a year of loss in my life, financially and economically and emotionally it has taken a serious toll. What I found out is no matter what i did to try and do the right things in every situation, all of the doors were closed in my path. So naturally i asked constantly to GOD, what do i need to do? I asked over and over for GOD to move in my heart and give me direction. I just felt GOD was not listening.
But long and behold, in my time of deepest despair, I woke up from a nap and felt the overwhelming weight of financial demands and legal demands on my life...(so naturally i felt even worse!), So i thought - what more did i need than Satan using eveything in my life against me to make me feel worse? It seemed that the direction in my life is just continuing its eternal downspiral - emotional destruction was just one of the elements being used against me.
So like many people on the internet today, i logged onto facebook to check my messages and i came across a message by one of my favorite pastors - Jeff Schreve http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=10150281392465494 . The title of the message was "Blown away by God's Grace".
After watching this message, i quickly realized and read Matthew 6:33 and began to understand that if even in my times of depression and life hurt, that if i am not even doing the simplest of what GOD asked me to in my focus and spiritual walk - then why should GOD answer me and speak to heart with guidance and healing. The funny thing is, I have know this scripture for years and have used it as a guiding post during my walk before, but the difference this time is that i lost sight of it when everything else got in the way.
My Committment: Seek this first everyday during my walk and trust GOD's promise to lift my life up and provide the answers for what I need.
