Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
I head out on a walk with this on my mind. My goal; to draw near to God.
Friends, my sin begins to bubble up. My examination begins. But guess what? It is not scary! I am at peace...I am walking with Jesus...I trust what He wants to do in me. It is not fearful...it is wonderful. I love Him. I trust Him. I surrender to Him.
I heard a sermon right before I left and the speaker said. "Love is always....
So Jesus is always on your side and loves you.
I left talking to the Lord about searching me and Love always is patient...Love always is generous.
Am I always generous with my love. "Love begets forgetfulness of self and forgetfulness of self is health."
There are 15 love attributes that is written in 1 Corinthians 13. Today I will stick on these two...Patience and Generous.
Another thing I would like to share is a another speaker I listened to said, "God doesn't call the equipped, He equips those He calls."
It is always good to stand on the word of the Lord.
It brings health to your body, mind and soul!
The joy ride continues with celebration! Nehemiah finished the wall and the people declare, "because they now understood the words that had been made known to them." Nehemiah 8:12-13
The Israelites were so overjoyed at the festival of booths, they found branches and built themselves booths on their own roofs, or courtyards, slept in them for 7 days to remind them of their exile journey where they lived in booths and walked with God. "They had not celebrated it like this. And their joy was very great!" Nehemiah 8:17
Finally at the dedication of the wall, "And on the that day they offered great sacrifices, rejoicing because God had given them great joy. The woman and children also rejoiced. The sound of rejoicing in Jerusalem could be hear far away." Nehemiah 12:43
Friends just imagine such a celebration being heard here on earth far away. We need a revival of this magnitude!
Never have we experienced anything in life better than knowing Jesus and his words!
Generously God always extends understanding when we focus on HIM!
