Just thinking...

"In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I will not be afraid. What can mortal man do to me?"- Psalm 56:4

My first thought when I saw this verse was ick yeah right. We are horrible (as in all living beings). Then I thought of sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me... and once again i said to myself ick yeah right... words are always hurtful.
But Gods words are so calming. So relaxing. One word whispered in our ears by God is worth more than a million compliments coming from friends and family...

But why does this verse say what can mortal man do to me?

The truth is God allows things to happen...

Why?

Becuase its part of this huge scheme that we will never understand or even begin to comprehend!

But if we just have faith in God and truly trust him and serve him through are trials.... how amazing will that day be when God turns to you and says... Well done good and Faithful servent...


Why fear? Does God not say in Mathew "who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life.".... Fear I believe is from the devil.... without fear we would totally trust God... and that is exactly what the devil does not want us to do....

So when it comes down to it... by removing fear we remove satan. By trusting God we allow change.

Not just any change...

A Good Change.

"In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I will not be afraid. What can mortal man do to me?"

Im a Going All the Way...

So yesturday I was able to go to the usual meetings for the Way Fellowship Church Plant.

I haven't been in a long time... too long... but since there was a power outage at work I got the day off... Yay!

The meeting was crazy.

As John Bryant was talking I found myself looking at him differently.

Not a bad different... just... different.

I am really taking a step into my future.

As he talked about Abraham, Issac, and Jacob and plenty of other things.. such as how we will be blessed... and all that fun stuff... I looked at him with deep thought.

I found myself talking to God in my head the whole time.


Do we match up spiritually?
Am I really going to give up my full time job and work part time to dedicate the rest of my time to Gods ministry under this man?
Is he a good leader?

and many more questions....

I was kinda in a daze when I left the meeting.

I prayed about it all day yesturday while accompishing a lot of stuff for this Saturday....

The more I prayed about it the more I felt comfortable...

The answers were all yes...

I know I want to follow God and know God has told me to go with The Way... but now it comes down to really placing everything in Gods hand...

Placing everything in Gods hands is one thing...
but at the same time I know that God also wants to me to trust John. And I do completly... but it was hard enough giving control to God...

Arghhh...


Just my thoughts....

I am so excited at where I am in my life...

So remind me of that when I get upset... Haha...
