OUR AWESOME GOD

i was just sitting here at work (drove from airport, directly to work!)  thinking about how awesome our God truly is. More awesome than words can say and more wonderful than any thought could think. King of kings and Lord of lords. He is omniscient, omnipotent and omnipresent, ALL the time. Always there, always for us, always faithful.

"For the Lord your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great God, mighty and awesome, who shows no partiality nor takes a bribe." Deuteronomy 10:17

Just 10 hours ago i was in the RAVEN Camp with my brother and sister Jesus freaks (and i miss every one), and now i am at the front desk of the hotel God provided as my job in the world for this season. This is such an amazing thing. To shift gears so to speak with flawless grace that can only come from God. My desire is to serve my God, to sacrifice ALL of my desires and replace them with His, right now in this fleeting vapour of a life and into eternity. i love serving my God each day with all that i am and i could not live any other way.

"I will freely sacrifice unto thee, I will praise thy name O LORD; for it is good." Psalm 54:6

God promises if we seek Him, His kingdom and righteousness he will supply every need. We are to take no thought of any of it. He tells us He loves them that love Him.  Isn't that amazing. When i am with my God in heaven, i will have no needs like i do here on earth, but just like in heaven God promises to supply every need we have here. Do we trust Him to do that, in His way and in His time? i hope so because that is the only way to live for Him and in Him.

What do we need? A job enough to supply needs of food and clothes? Transportation? A Home? Well, i venture to suggest that what we need is only what God decides we need as we are walking in complete submission and service unto Him each day of this life. Our needs change as God directs our path. Remember a man plans but God orders his steps.. and our way usually leads to death.  So i ask, what do we really need?

"But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you. Take therefore no thought for the morrow for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof." Matthew 6:33-34

"I love them that love me and those that seek me early shall find me." Proverbs 8:17

"There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death." Proverbs 16:25

"A man’s heart plans his way but the Lord directs his steps." Proverbs 16:9

i am led to these scriptures because i love serving the Lord. When i am serving Him, sacrifice does not seem like sacrifice because if it is His will, then there is great joy in the doing of it.  Flesh melts away and all that remains is the Spirit of life in Christ, the eternal soul who hears the voice of the Master and obeys. Thank you Jesus.

i had the best time at Mardi Gras this year. i was blessed to do my best to serve and edify the body of Christ and i was also able to tell lost souls about Jesus. Praise God. So back to sitting here at the Hotel job... i am learning that every day i wake up is another day to praise and glorify God with my life wherever i am, whatever i am doing. To keep Jesus on my heart, mind and soul every moment of the day has become a learned habit in my life, and i find that He can use me in His plan more readily when i stay focused on Him. He truly does supply every need, every day, and as His plan for me changes, so do my needs, amen.

i would implore all followers of Christ to spend as much time as possible in His word, in prayer, in fasting and doing His will. Pay attention and listen to God. Everything is God's: time, possessions, money, etc. it all belongs to Him, to be used for His Glory, His plan. Spare time (fleshy view) is God's time too, use it for Him.  Walk in the Spirit of God and do not fulfill the lusts of the flesh, not even a tiny bit. Time is short and we all need Jesus desperately. Praise His holy name. Thank you Jesus.  Thank you for using me in your mighty plan, wherever i am, amen.

"I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh." Galatians 5:16

JESUS... the only way!!

JESUS IS LORD OF ALL
