What I am
learning is that it is IMPORTANT for me to allow the HOLY SPIRIT to LEAD me; I’m not supposed to try to lead
the HOLY SPIRIT. I
have the tendency to get ahead of myself…to make decisions without consulting
God…to take my life into my own hands, forgetting that this life is not my own.
I realized that I needed to take a FEW
SEATS BACK…to FALL
BACK…to PUMP the
BRAKES…
In all
honesty, it was time for me to be reminded of a few things, like:
Why I CHOOSE to WALK this CHRISTIAN JOURNEY…
Why I CHOOSE to SERVE GOD and FOLLOW
CHRIST…
Why I CHOOSE to DIE to SELF
DAILY…
Anytime,
we try to take matters into our own hands and start to depend on ourselves, we
will always find ourselves in a place of confusion.
It is so easy to lose sight of God’s plan for your life when you take your eyes
off of him!
This
Christian journey is not meant for us to walk it alone, which means God is
always there to help guide us and keep us on the right path. All we are REQUIRED to do is SEEK his COUNSEL.
This came
to me one morning when I was listening to Pastor Riva Tims and Majestic Praise
song entitled “Incredible God.” This
song is such a beautiful, worship song and the
message is simple yet profound. The lines from “Incredible
God” that touched my spirit are as follows:
‘Who placed the stars in the
heavens
and who set the sun and the
moon in the sky?
The Incredible God.
Mountains bow down before you
Seas roar at the sound of
your name.
The Incredible God.'
While
worshipping to this song, I was reminded of why I serve God. Why I strive daily to be pleasing in his sight. Why he’s the head of
my life and why I am completely in love with him.
To be
honest, this song gently reminded me of why I can't give up on God. It helped me understand why I can't give in to the desires of my flesh. It provided me with clarity on why I must press towards the goal. The lyrics to
this song reminds us of the great God we serve! See, even when we do
wrong, he loves us.
He sent his only son to perform the ultimate sacrifice God is omnipresent-all
powerful… gracious… incredible. It’s
not about what he has done for me or what he’s doing or what
he’s going to
do.
I praise him…
I worship him…
I love him…
Simply, because of who he is…
It's true...If God
doesn't do another thing for me; he has already done enough!!!
Let us continue to keep god first and allow
the holy spirit to lead us on this spiritual journey!
'Yours, Lord, is the greatness and the power
and the glory and the majesty and the splendor,
for everything in heaven and earth is yours.
Yours, Lord, is the kingdom;
you are exalted as head over all.'
