What Matters

It has been quiet a while since I did any blogging. My excuse.............just lazy!!

Over the last few days I have spent some time, to much time, feeling down over life issues. Then my Father in his loving way guides me back to what really matters. I have been reflecting on "what matters". 3 different ways God has spoken on this in just the last 3 days showing me "what matters".

Way 1- The question was asked to me "do you really think God wants His children to struggle"
Answer- Count it pure joy when you face trials of many kind, they are a perfecting of your faith!

Way 2- In talking with my son, I was reminded of just how personal and important a relationship with God is.
Answer- Keep asking, keep knocking, keep seeking!

Way 3- In reading a fellow bloggers post, I was reminded of being Mary in a Martha world.
Answer- Sit at the most beautiful, worthy feet EVER. Sit and rest, learn, and be loved!

I feel so unworthy to be called His. I struggle and continue to fail and He continues to love me. I am so very unworthy of that love and so very thankful for that love. My Father bent down low, whispered sweet, raised me up, restored me, forgave me, and loves me! How awesome is He!
In reflecting on "what matters" I was led to the scripture in Matthew 6:33. "Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things will be provided for you". This tells me clearly SEEK my Father. Seek His guidance in every circumstance. Stop looking at the waves and just look to Him to keep walking on the water!!! My prayer is that I will do this. That I will seek Him. That I will not look at the waves.

During this season, I tend to focus on what gifts to buy. What gifts I haven't bought. More commercial that Christ! I am thankful today for God's wonderful reminders to me of "what matters". His will matters, His direction matters, His love matters, His deliverance matters, His forgiveness matters, His teaching matters, His speaking matters, telling others about Him matters.......................HE MATTERS!!!!


God forgive me for focusing on the things that matter least and not focusing on what matters most! Thank you for meeting me where I am and teaching me. Thank you for reminders!! Thank you for being Jehovah Jireh! Thank you.......................
