It has been sort of an unusual week for me and it’s not over
yet…..that’s not a complaint or a judgment it’s actually a praise report. I've
had some things happen this week that, in the past, would have normally made me
frothing at the mouth, rabid angry. Note, I used the terms “in the past and
would have.” These things are used in the past tense because the level of though
and praise that I have far outweigh anything else. Oh magnify the Lord!!! God
is greater than my circumstances.
Psalm 34: 2-4 …2 My soul will make its boast in the LORD;
The humble will hear it and rejoice. 3 O magnify the LORD with me, And let
us exalt His name together. 4 I sought the LORD, and He answered me, And
delivered me from all my fears.…
This morning, when I got to my office, I did something
completely different. I broke my routine…y’all know how I love routine and
structure…I’m the type of person who has to plan spontaneity…but today I didn't
turn on my radio. I took extra time to sit with God. I took extra time to read
more of His word….and you know what? I felt a praise rise up in me that could
not be contained.
Funny thing, the very thing that I thought would break me…that
I fixated on and wrestled with was my Jacob moment…I fought that thing and it
blessed me. I can’t go back…to borrow a few words from Dr. Martin Luther
King: I just want to do God's will. And
He's allowed me to go up to the mountain. And I've looked over. And I've seen
the Promised Land.
As I shared a few days back….it is impossible to be in the
presence of God and remain the same!
How ya livin’?
