When something is on your heart that is bigger than you are and seems impossible; That is when you know that that "something" is from God. How can I do it? What do I know about ".."? Who is going to listen to me when it comes to "Blank"? God wants us to totally depend on Him. The Israelites had to depend on a cloud by day and fire by night. The Lord wanted them to totally depend, rely and trust in Him for EVERYTHING. There are things that you just can't do on your own. You will eventually hit a brick wall. I can equate this to only what I have seen here in the natural. For example, clients have replaced SLPs with iPads, ABA therapist, OTs, some trendy computer program or product, and any other profession, but at the end of the day you are going to hit a communication wall. You will not know what to do and then you will be crawling back to a SLP because we are the only professionals that truly understand communication and communication treatment and disorders. That's how it is with God. We use him to get what we want and after we get our "blessing and or break through" then we try to do everything on our own. We replace God with food, sex, anger, bitterness, laziness...etc. EVENTUALLY, you will hit a spiritual brick wall and you will go only as far as your human thinking will allow. Then, you will have to find God and study His word.
I said all of that to say. I am so excited about my future. I am exactly in the place where God wants me: totally dependent on Him. Selah!
Over the past three months, I have been deeply studying the word. I have been focusing on the book of Mark and Romans. These two books have been a true blessing to me. My faith is growing more and more.
To overcome obsticles, you can not be ruled by your emotions. If you wait to "feel like exercising" or "feel like eating right", it will never happen or even if it does it will not be consistent. Feelings and emotions are temporary and ever changing. The word of God is permanent. It never changes, God never changes.
Scriptures to ponder:
Romans 12: 1-2.
present your body
Renew you mind
do not be conformed to the world
It's the least we can do for all the mercy God has shown us.
