Amazing

I've been walking in relationship with the Lord for many years and He truly is an amazing God. I had these songs on my heart today. I hope you will take the time worship and praise God today. There is power in praise! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtDJ_aekTlI&feature=related and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ijAKh_C89UE&feature=related
There are times in our lives when God is quiet but it doesn't change the truth that our God is an awesome God and an Amazing God! Malichi 3:6 For I am the Lord; I do not change! Hebrews 13:8 I am the same yesterday, today and forever!
When I reflect on my own life I have changed a lot, even in the last few years. Situations and circumstances cause me to change. I can be swayed by my emotions, I may not want to be but I am human and a woman at that! All you other ladies can say you have your emotions in check, but keep lying to yourself if you want to. Think about this, when have you ever entered a room without scoping out the other people in the room. Women always compare themselves to other women. I call that being swayed by feelings, emotions, and interpretation. I do it, and I have several lady friends who openly admit they do it too. God wants us to be confident in Him and place our total trust in Him.
That can be a hard thing to do sometimes when our environment or circumstances are not comfortable. We by nature like to be in control of our lives. It seems odd to say I have no idea what I'm doing today or tomorrow but I know God is in control. Have you ever heard that and wanted to roll your eyes, I have. Especially if you grew up in church because you hear the same thing over and over and watch people do the same thing over and over, some very stupid things. I'm one of those people so lets go ahead and get that out of the way. I don't want to do stupid things, but I do, because I am human and I am not God. I have learned God is in control even when I feel out of control. See what Matthew 6:25-34 says http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%206:25-34&version=AMP
We don't need to be frustrated when we are not perfect, after all we are human. It is important to have a heart for God and the things of God and continue to dream toward that but lets also remember how Paul dealt with this, see Romans 7:15-25 http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans%207:15-25&version=AMP
Isn't it amazing how He chooses our weak areas to shine through in our lives? For example I clean the sanctuary building of our church. If you would have asked my mother could I clean well, she would have laughed! She allows me to clean her house when before she wouldn't have given me a chance. I have been in positions where I had to do budget and accounting, count inventory and manage people. I never completed 9th grade and I finished school with a general education diploma. I have not been perfect in any of these things but God has shined through in all of them.
Whatever you're facing today, count it all joy, and keep dreaming big!
