Rest in his Glory

 God is reminding me that I need to rest in his glory.   I need to be more in awe of his glory, power, and majesty.   I have been reading Revelation this week and God is showing me that I need to rest in his presence more.    I need to stand in awe of his beauty and creation.  Being in awe of his presence will allow me to focus him and what he has done in my life. 

Jesus is our Mighty God

 Jesus has been reminding me he is my Mighty God through the storms of life.   He is my great I am.  He is the bread of life.  the resurrection and the life, the way, the truth and the life and he satisfies our hunger.    Jesus showed me he has suffered pain on the cross, rejection by the Father, and knows what it means to be sad and wept over someone.  He knows my deepest and innermost fears and sorrows in my life.   He is forever true yesterday, today, and tomorrow.

Listen to the Holy Spirit's leading in my life

 God reminded me today through his Word in John 14 that he has given me the Holy Spirit for me to seek his wisdom and guidance in my life.  It showed me the power of the Holy Spirit in our life.  Also, the abundance of how much God loves us he would send his Spirit to help us.   Jesus said to John 14 that his purpose for sending the Holy Spirit was to comfort his disciples and give them peace.    The Holy Spirit's presence is our life shows us the Jesus is always with us always.  

Wait

 To continue the them of waiting,  God has been telling me to wait on him and his leading in my life.    David Maki, from First Fields got back to me today and told me the follow up interview with the Missions Pastor Wade would be in a few weeks.   I waited to God and reminded me that he is still leading me.    Jesus knows what I need,  I need to focus on his kingdom alone.   Also,  resting in God's presence like it says in Psalm 46:10,  gives us the ability to submit to him.     Through this process,  we are reminded of how much we need to depend on God alone.  

Keep waiting on him

 God has been reminding me that I need to keep waiting on God's leading in my life.     Jesus said in Matthew 6:28-33, to God knows what we need and he cares for the sparrows of the field.   Focus on God's kingdom and he will provide for us.    God has been revealing to me when I focus on his kingdom alone that he will provide for me and use me for his glory alone.     It says in Psalm 46:10,  "Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations I will be exalted in the earth!"  I need to be still more often, then wait on where God is leading me in my life.  

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.
