I've been fighting with God over starting my own business up, it seems like it's been a good idea for everyone but me...sigh. So in the last day, as I've been going back over my fears and concerns with my friends, family, and advisers, I've also been finding myself drawn to a few scriptures. I will tell you up front that I feel very strongly about these not being words of advise from God about my job situation, no, it was the scriptures from Ecclesiastics about wisdom that fit that bill. No , God was using these scriptures to start me thinking more broadly than I had considered. I started thinking about how God had transformed my heart from thinking about thou shalt not into thou shalt. My relationship, in the last few years, has become one of thou shalt, I, more often than before, move when God says move. I go into God's situations with a yes on my lips, and don;t even bother to ask the question of if. On my good days, now more often than when I was younger, I wake up knowing that when I am asked to chose Him, I will do so without grumble. I would like to say that sin is farther away than ever before, but I think it is often closer than ever before, but I turn away more often also. Worship is, without question, more on my lips, trust and faith is more present, and belief is a daily action instead of a daily question.
  I have to also draw a clear picture and make sure you don;t think what I'm saying is boasting, because I am more than a little aware of Who it is that is bringing those changes, I've just become less adamant about fighting over those daily things that are meant to bring about the death of sin, death, and the devil, in my life. So, I added these verses, I thought that it was best to start at the beginning, "Thou Shalt Love the Lord" and then to look to see what God spoke to Moses regarding the tabernacle where He wanted to dwell. Over and over God said, "Thou shall". So as a final thought, May God grant you a gift, that when He says, "Thou Shall", you say, "I will".
