Wait on God

 Right now, God is calling me to wait on his leading in my life.  He is calling me to wait on him for a Children's Ministry position in my life.   He is calling me to seek him in his leading in my life.  God shown me this paid internship program when I am waiting on this move to Austin to be close to my girlfriend.   I am trying to trust that God still has a plan to lead me to a Children's Ministry position.  

Psalm 46:10 is a verse that reminds me to wait on God in my life.   Psalm 46:10 says, "Be still, and know that I am God.  I will be exalted among the nations; I will be exalted in the earth!  This verse shows me that I need to be still and rest in God in silence more often.   God also reveals that I need to constantly remind myself God is God is above all the problems and struggles in my life.   God is sovereign and in control of all the problems in my life.   He is over all the nations and does things according to his will and design.  

God is calling me to wait on his leading in my life.   He still has a good plan for me and he is still working.  I have to listen to God and what he is saying to me.   I have to be still and listen to God in silence.   Also, I have to know that God is sovereign and in control of all things in my life.  

What God has been showing me through Ecclesiastes

 This is a short post that describes what God has been showing me in Ecclesiastes.  Solomon who is David's son wrote the book about his life and what he learned.   The main things that God has been showing me in Ecclesiastes are everything is vanity under the sun, God is eternal and above all things, we are the fear God and give him glory, enjoy the good gifts that God has given us, true wisdom is found through God, and worldly things cannot bring us joy but God alone.  The preacher searched out all wisdom through pleasure, building things, attaining wisdom, and he found that even those things pass away under the sun.    Those things did not give him satisfaction and joy but only God alone.  The preacher had many wives and a large sum of may but even those things pass away under the sun.  

The preacher found through all this searching that we should enjoy the good gifts God has given us.  We should pursue our passions with joy.   He tells us to eat and enjoy the goodness of God in our life.  For it is God that has given these good things for us.  God is the true provider of these gifts in our life.  

Main themes in the book describes are God's immutable, God's sovereignty, and a healthy fear of God.  It is important to realize God is immutable the preacher tells us.   The preacher also says numerous times how much God is in control of everything.   Lastly, the preacher discusses in detail the importance of having a healthy fear of God.   Fearing God is merely an awe or reverence of God.   Solomon says the end of it all is to fear God.
