In our lives, it is vital to have people that are pouring into us & people we are pouring into. This means I need to be being discipled and be discipling too. I have been meeting with a counselor and with my pastor (when I can make time in my busy schedule). I got to go with my pastor last week to help a elderly lady move, and we used our driving time to talk about some real stuff. One of the things that we got into was, talking about praying the bible I have done that in the past, but not in a intentional way. Many times when I pray, God brings different scriptures to my mind and I will read them back to Him. After talking to him, I was encouraged to be more focused on actually taking the bible and praying scriptures and applying the word to my life. I have been doing that for this last week a lot more, and I woke up this morning to God wanting to show me something’s. first, he brought me to Corinthians and Paul describing the difficulties in his life and then the fact that God was strengthening his inward man (his spirit). So I prayed that God would come and strengthen me every day. I took my shower and God brought me to another scripture;
I will bring the blind by a way they did not know; I will lead them in paths they have not known. I will make darkness light before them, and crooked places straight. These things I will do for them, and not forsake them.
~ Isaiah 42:16
This is where I am at right now. I feel like I am walking blind right now. I am not exactly sure where I am going, but I know that he is leading me. I can feel so abandoned sometimes, but he won’t leave us blind and lost. He is guiding me in my life, and it’s not going to necessarily be where I thought I was going to go. I don’t think that we know where we are going in this life, but it is more of those paths that we don’t know. Where our blindness is, and when we are in darkness he is constantly illuminated and making crooked uneven places straight. He is faithful, and will fulfill his promises he has made and that to me is amazing and more than enough. He has our best interests at heart, no matter what circumstance look like.
