Be on your guard; stand firm
in the faith; be courageous; be strong. Do everything in love. I Corinthians
16:13-14
I joined a group called for decluttering and putting perfectionism out of my life. It is called FlyLady at bigtent.com This morning FlyLady was
talking about driving in fog and how if I get antsy and overwhelmed with
trying to clean and organized my home it is like driving in the fog.
I was thinking about how it is the same when I let my thoughts and
emotions overwhelm me and cause me to be frustrated in my life spiritually! I take my focus off God
and put it on the junk going on around me or the thoughts and questions I have
going through my head. I listen more to
the enemy’s voice in my ear than the Holy Spirit speaking to my heart. I try to get through my day in a fog… maybe
fog stands for Free Of God??? When I see it written like that… why would I want
to live a life in FOG? I don’t! Waiting… being still… trusting is soooo hard
for me to do. I have always been a doer
and I know God has spoken to me about that so many times in the past. Maybe this time I will actually learn something. The anxiety can so easily build up in me
because my flesh says He is not moving quickly enough… He is not showing me the
next step… He is causing my frustration and loneliness. But in my spirit I know none of those things
are true. It is in these times I have to
take a deep breath, confess my unbelief, and remember it is not about me! It is my fault for taking my eyes off Him!
His timing is perfect! How many times
does the Bible say to be patient?
If I am standing firm in my faith then courage, strength and love should come more easily... it is a good way to see what I am really standing on. Focus on Him!
Okay, a pretty little card to share today:
