Sometimes I don't know where God is going to take me when I start writing in my blog. Like right now, I knew that I wanted to blog today but will see where this goes.
God has been doing some serious moving in the past days/weeks. We have been working for months to bring the city of Toledo and the surrounding area together in prayer, beginning with the GAP (God Answers Prayer) Seminar. Up to the registration deadline date we had about 30 people signed up but last week the registrations and phone calls kept rolling in and on Saturday we had 85 people gathered together hearing a teaching on Intercessory prayer. It was powerful and my husband is excited to spearhead prayer in the area. Just in the beginning stages there are already 49 names ready to get involved in some way or another. God is moving in our little church gathering too and giving us some direction.
I was thinking about the song "God Moves in a Mysterious Way". Doesn't he? I think about my life, I think about how he has moved in the past, how he is moving in the present and how he will continue to move in the future. When God is moving in your life it can do a couple of things. I think that it can stir an excitement and a joy. Other times when he is moving it can stir up anxiety, even fear because we don't know the outcome of what he is doing and he might be taking us places we don't want to go. I personally want the first to be what shines in me. I want to recognize that it is the enemy who wants to steal my joy. Remember that he is a thief. Jesus said "The thief comes only to steal, kill and destroy; I have come that you may have life, and have it to the full." A full life - can you imagine this? A full life doesn't not mean an easy life, a perfect life, or one without pain. We cannot find those things in a world full of sin. But we do have a place to go. In the arms of Jesus. That is where I want to be. As long as I have Jesus I have what I need and my life is full. Circumstances will come and go but Jesus will always remain the same. Sometimes I just have to close my eyes to put everything else around me aside, and draw near to him and come into his presence.
How is God moving in your life right now? Or do you even sense him moving? Good questions to ask ourself, good ones to pray about. Some of you have a sense of God moving, others have no idea. Just seek him in prayer. He will show you, but in HIS TIME!
Today let us bask in him. Close your eyes and listen to this song as a prayer. Invite the Holy Spirit to fill you up.
