I should be studying right now. I really should be studying right now. But I am just too full of good news to sit still with another species of fish in front of me.. perciformes centrarchidae erimyzon oblongus...
So everyone remembers that you must remove the plank from your own eye before worrying about the toothpick in your neighbor's eye? Well I got to experience this first hand. I went to the bookstore the other day and I was getting a book for my friend for her birthday. I thought, maybe she would like a book about contentment, or maybe a devotional book. Little did I know I had come into the bookstore that day for myself. I went to the Christian section (like good Christians do haha) and I said, "Lord help me find something" and before I could say "for her" I was looking at this book that caught my eye. I picked it up and low and behold Calm My Anxious Heart by Linda Dillow was in my hands. I read the back of the book and knew that God wanted me to read this. So I bought it (and almost forgot to get my friend a present). As I'm turning each page, it is directed to me. You ever read something and think, this was written for me.. yea I had that feeling. People who believe in coincidences are blind to the workings of the Lord.
"Be not wise in you own eyes; fear the Lord, and turn away from evil. It will be healing to your flesh and refreshment to your bones." - Prov. 3:7
You ever start off a prayer by saying, "here I am again...." or "Im back in this again, Lord"..? story of my life. Whether it is worrying, unfaithfulness, or just not listening to anything that He says. Sometimes I don't want to pray because I feel like my heart is not prepared or I am not worthy enough, or I can fix it, I don't want to be a bother. I actually have to remind myself that a broken and contrite heart is what He seeks out to heal. All we need to bring to the Healer is a need
I am overwhelmed with his grace and the song "How He Loves" puts it the best way in saying that if grace is an ocean, I'm drowning.
