I woke up late this morning and missed church. I needed a pep pill, and when I stepped outside I found one. This very bright sun was shinning through my big tree with an opening large enough for me to get a picture of it. A picture without the tree was too bright, and made the sun look like a big brush of white paint had covered most of the sky. I perked up, and was ready to tackle the long day for whatever it might give me.
The first thing I did was make myself a ham, and egg, omelet. I finished the pot of coffee, and came straight to the computer to type what God would give me today. I am a slow learner so I have to wait, and think about things before I get the meaning of the message God wants me to type. Sometimes I wonder if I missed something, and failed to interpret the Word exactly like it was intended. I hardly ever write a message that I feel like was inspired by the Holt Spirit, without feeling I, myself, was the first person that the message was meant for. Not everyone needs what I need, but God does speak in mysterious ways. We all have to take His word for whatever it seemed right for us. Today I wanted ham, and egg, omelet. Tomorrow I may want something else, but whatever we chose to eat for breakfast is alright with God. It’s what we do the rest of the day that matters to our Heavenly Father. He expects us to be productive in spreading His Word, and working to help keep evil out of His crowd of chosen people. This is why we have to listen, and move carefully, to fulfill this expectation. We are only servants, and not any of us can please God without staying closely in touch with him. I know God told us in His Word that, “we walk by faith, and not by sight,” but that faith must be exercised daily. I believe if we don’t see our prayer request answered frequently, then our faith is not strong enough to support God’s Word. By that I mean, to know without any. “ maybe God answered our prayer,” but to positively know God answered our prayer. To be sure enough to shout in praise to him. Adding that the answered prayer can never be weakened by Satan’s constant attacks. We as human flesh will always be tempted to doubt God, but we must never forget, or be swayed from that positive answer God gave us. He will not let us down, but we will forever be tempted to doubt. God’s own Son, Jesus, was tempted many times, but He never gave into temptation. I refuse to let people tell me what is right, and what is wrong for me to do when it comes to living for God. I was given the advise as a very young Christian, by the Holy Spirit, not to listen to man, but by the Word of God. I have been doing exactly that for many years. Man is human flesh just like we are, no matter who claims to be otherwise. They fall short of God’s expectations, just like you and me do. When man stops trying to tell Christians what they can do, and what they cannot do, this world will be a wonderful place to live in. According to the bible, I don’t expect that to ever happen. Satan is here to stay until God takes His people to live with Him in a heavenly place.
