Trust in him

 God is reminding me that I need to keep trusting him for his leading in my life.   I received a phone call about a short interview over the phone the other day after I had applied to this church job in Carrolton earlier in the week.    I did not have much time to prepare for the interview because the guy called me on Wednesday night and he wanted to discuss the position on Thursday.   Overall,  I felt the interview went overall and God spoke through me during the interview.     God gave me the wisdom and discernment to provide good responses when I discussed the position David Maki at FBC Fields.   Proverbs 3:5-6 says,  "trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.   In all of your ways submit to him and he will make your paths straight."   God has been showing me that he need to keep trusting him and his leading in my life.  

Listen to the Holy Spirit's leading

 In the past week,  God has been reminding me of how important it is to listen to the Holy Spirit's leading in my life.   I have been reading Acts lately and how Paul listened to the Holy Spirit in discerning in who God was calling him to share with.   Also,  he listened to Spirit in discerning where to go share next and if God was leading him not to go somewhere.    The Holy Spirit told me to wait to go to a specific location to another time and go back at another point.   It has been a reminder to me of how I need to seek the Holy Spirit's guidance on who he wants me share with and when/where he wants me to share.   Lastly,  God showed me the specific time and how I need to wait for the Spirit's leading. 

He is with me in the valleys of life

 God reminded me with a great time of fellowship this morning that he is with me in the valleys of life.   He is using people in my life to encourage me in my walk with God.   In the past few weeks,  God used mentors to remind me that he has a plan for my life and he is working all things for his glory alone.   Paul said to the Philippian church,  "And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion on the day of Christ Jesus."  God has used this verse in my life to remind that that he is still molding me into his image and growing me in greater knowledge of him in the midst of my frustrating job situation.    Lastly,  Jesus showed me that his presence is with me always.    It says in Joshua 1:9, Have I not commanded you?  Be strong and courageous.  Do not be afraid;  do not be discouraged, for the Lord God will be with you wherever you go."

Trust in the Spirit's leading in my life

 God has been reminding me when I trust in faith in where his Spirit is leading me that he will lead and guide me.    The disciples trusted Jesus' leading in their life after he resurrected from the grave and he sent his Holy Spirit on them.    Directly after that, the Holy Spirit moved at Pentecost on the disciples and early believers in the early church.     In Chapter two,  Peter was filled with the Holy Spirit when he spoke to the Jews that rejected Jesus on the cross.    God's spirit moved through Peter condemning the people for their ignorance of Jesus in calling for his crucifixion and along with their hardness of heart in not recognizing Jesus after the prophets foretold his coming.   In Acts 3,   Peter trusted Jesus with faith and relied on the Holy Spirt in healing the blind beggar.   He knew that God healed him through him and not anything that he did to heal him.
