Lord lead me in the path of Righteousness!?
Such an easy statement but such a hard thing to live out or is it? Do our struggles against ourselves have to be so difficult or do we just have to live and let Lord do all the work? We are saved by Grace but does that let us of the hook for doing things? Do we just have to trust and obey and walk forward?
What is hope is it God? My questions of the Lord become more complex as I journey forward in my walk with him! I trust him and I pray I choose correctly when I think I am obeying God! I find when he is working in my life I really do not have struggles, the struggles come when I try to make things happen the way I would like for them to happen. For instance, Selling our home I was absolutely it was the correct thing to do to be debt free! As my Granddaughter said Grandma I have all those memories of Christmas and watching movies and snuggling with you and helping you get ready for Seder and Easter and I have so many memories here. I think of the Grandchildren singing Karoake and my nieces having a fashion show with Juliet and all the conversations I had with Grandpa and saying goodbye to him here! How great my friends were to me during the fire and How it was here the Lord spoke to me for the first time and it was here that I felt the need to place an Ebenezer stone to remember how the Lord had helped me! It was here where I realized I did not need drugs or fear of illness to carry me through it was the Lord and him alone. That changed my life when I made God bigger than man. Fear became something I could recognize in myself. I knew it was something that stopped me from being and overcomer and that it stopped me ! Not other people but me who stopped myself from being who I could and will become. My God is greater than anything! I know it is easy to be near him and I hunger for more of him always ! It is the best addiction of my life my love for him and his for me! I can sit by myself and not fear where I should be and I can be alone and enjoy the presence of him leading me in solitude. Peace and Joy he has showed me this year far beyond my expectation. I feel I can give peace away for if people realize fear steals it and Joy is a happy moment you can enjoy anytime you want to! You choose when you feel joy and You choose when you feel fear! That was the hardest thing in the world for me to understand but now I get it! Does it mean I never am fearful of course not but I know where it comes from and I look for what is in my that is causing me to fear! Jesus always made it so easy if we listen to his parables and look at what he showed by the way he lived! On the cross Jesus faced every fear I could possibly imagine and ten times worse and I just have to know his voice and not fear voice. Thank you as I continue on my journey with the Lord I hope I can always make it easy for the Lord to lead me and I can just keep out his way and live today
