James 4:8a Come near to God and [H]e will come near to you.
I've been hungering for God's direction for the past few days more than ever. Sometimes I go through bouts of asking God "what is going on" and other times I sense this connection so deep I can see the whole plan. Anyone out there feeling lost just when you thought we were connected?
I think the easiest thing to do is to give up or to even discount what I've been learning about God, but I've walked too long with the Lord to give in to deceiving thoughts. These are not from my Father. In the name of Jesus, I command these thoughts to cease. Now Lord, give me thoughts that honor you. Show me what You are doing.
Sue and I had a great dinner yesterday. She shared with me what God taught her through her difficulties with her vision (eye problems). When she shared this, God gave me this great image. Think with me. Most of us are near sighted. If you somehow lose your glasses (lose clarity of your vision) what do you have to do to read something or see something clearly? Simple right? Get closer!
Here is what I was reminded. Sometimes I will "feel" like I am disconnected from the vision that God has placed in my heart. Sometimes I lose "sight" of the "vision" that He has placed on my life or just simply lose sight of Him. What am I to do? Draw near to Him. Seek Him.
When my nephew was scared, he would hold closer to me for safety. I'm telling you, this is God's intention for us. When we feel disconnected from Him, the "vision" of our life, or just feel that peril will over take us thats when we need to draw closer to God. Afterall, aren't we sons and daughters of the Most High?
Father, thank you for your help. Your wisdom abounds. I pray for more of it. I need you today- especially today. Please show me a glimpse of the worth of my life to You. Amen.
