So I'm overwhelmed. God is great and continues to be faithful to me and my family.
I've just returned for the Saturday night service where David challenged us with eight questions. I could sit and journal about all eight but one struck me right between the eyes.
What kind of noise is your life making?
It seems every year the winter months following Christmas (January & February) I was hit this wave that sent me out of God's purpose for my life. Let me be perfectly clear; it was not God that shock me. It was my desire to move independent from Him because my "plan" for my life was better. Ever since then my life has made this ridiculous noise. I think if I asked my mother what sin sounded like she might say the music that I listened to when I was in high school, but I think that the noise that my life has made over the winter has been reminiscent of a cheesy rock band and the sound of a circus when the clowns come out.
My life has been exactly that MY LIFE. It came down to my wants & my needs. My addicted-to-self attitude made terrible trouble for my mind and my spirit. As I listen to the Pastors message tonight it became very clear that God's purposes were not in my life.
I know know that the heavens and earth will cry out for him because I didn't. That ends. As I saw the images in front of me I saw the awesome power and strength of God. His creativity in forming the universe. But here is the part that floored me. God's word says that we are his "workmanship", we are his "masterpiece". In all the things that I saw tonight in the pictures of those beautiful stars, in the ways that he has dressed the flowers and the trees and out of all these things God loves and values us the most. Jesus the God man brought to us salvation through his blood and loss. In all the universe we are his treasures. |
