God Is Our Source

There are people or things that we are drawn to, or we go after, in life. Many times they are not healthy or good for us. If all we want is to seek after the truth, then why do we find ourselves again and again in the same situation?
We are all on different journeys to the same destination. We may not be experiencing the same conditions as another; but whatever our struggle - whether financial, emotional, health related ... you name it - God is the source for all our need. He is the One Who comforts an aching heart. He is the One Who fulfills a longing soul. It is because of His great love that your material needs are met. I bet you thought your paycheck took care of that. That is true, but God is the bottom line reason why you have a job in the first place. It's by His grace that we eat and breathe and live. Once we establish the fact that God is the provider of the tiniest detail that our life might require, we have no reason to get anxious anymore. That reality has to travel  from our head to our heart.
Oh, it will take discipline and a determination to rest in Him. He has given us His Holy Spirit to help us. We must set our minds, (and keep them set), on things of Him. In 2 Timothy 1:7 it says, "God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love and self-discipline." He has given us a sound mind. Our only true hope is in Him. We can expect Him to renew and change us to make us like Him.  
"But those who wait on the Lord will find new strength. They will fly high on wings of eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint."  Isaiah 40:31
God is our source.

Time Alone With God

We are all distracted. In a world of non-stop communication and sensory stimulation, we have got to deliberately take time daily to shut it all out and spend time in the silence. God is patiently waiting for our undivided attention. If you've chosen to read this, then you have the time. Why put it off? Stop right now - even if it's only 10 minutes. Turn everything off and give yourself totally to Him. God is crazy about you and desires to talk with you, one on One. Go ..... I think He's calling your name.

"Come near to God and He will come near to you."   (James 4:8)
