Life Transition
So it has been a long while since I graced the online pages of my Broken Missionary blog. I really don’t know why I stopped writing in the first place. I could say life got busy or work, family, friends, church activities got in the way. But in reality (this might sound weird) I think my enemy has done his best and succeeded to keep me from writing. The reason for this I believe is when I wrote consistently I got on a routine of sorts that included bible reading and prayer. I have a feeling my enemy doesn’t like that so he has done whatever he could to keep me from writing and succeeded. I really have missed it. A lot has changed in my life. I am in a different place than I was before. I would say more so spiritually and mentally than my physical circumstances however. I think God is testing me in a whole different way. I feel he is using the people I love around me to pull me back to him. In many ways I can see where I have ran from his will. I am done cheapening the sacrifice that Jesus made for my sins and done taking my sin lightly. I have in the past, even recently. I have no excuse for not knowing what to do. But I just end up doing what I shouldn’t.
“For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double–edgedsword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.”
Hebrews 4:12
I know that not just actions but words cut to the bone. I pray that God show me how to be more conscious of the impact of my words on others.
“Simply let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No,’ ‘No’; anything beyond this comes from the evil one.”
Matthew 5:37
I also pray Lord that I continually become more decisive in my decision and am able to follow through on my promises hovever big or small they may be.
Dear Lord I also pray that I recognize always that you know all and see all and that my thoughts and deeds cannot be hidden from you. So I pray Lord that you continually shape my ways to be pleasing and honorable to you.
” For his anger lasts only a moment,
but his favor lasts a lifetime;
weeping may remain for a night,
but rejoicing comes in the morning.”
Proverbs 30:5
Dear Lord I pray that I can continually rejoice and praise your goodness and grace every morning.
Amen
