Order

"Dominion and awe belong to God; he establishes order in the heights of heaven.

Job 25:2 NIV

I have been feeling out of order, ya know, like when you think you should be doing things and you are not, or you wish you would do things you don't. I keep thinking, 'If I could just get my life in order....' Then the Lord spoke to me about what He thinks, when I inquired of Him, 'Tell me the truth about how You see me, Jesus.'

He led me to a place of safety; he rescued me because he delights in me. Psalms 18:19 NLT


Open rebuke is better Than love carefully concealed. Proverbs 27:5
The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, And He delights in his way. Psalms 37:23 NKJ
Father God made if very clear to me, first of all that He loves me, even in my weakness. He reminded me that He had pulled from the pit, saved me because He delighted in me. He has an orderly plan for my life, for good, and He is faithful to complete it. He will shower me with love, even while He points out useless and harmful actions I participate in. His plans are detailed, and as I look to Him, my steps are ordered by God.
When I was living the life according to the rules of the world, I used to wear two different colored socks every day. If you looked in my drawer you probably couldn't find a matching pair. My boss called me 'two-socks', and my life reflected this fashion statement. There was little order in my days, I would jump at the first opportunity to for 'fun' or 'trouble', and planning for the future was not on my priority list. Whatever I would see first that was which sock I would put on, which party I would go to.
The Lord reminded me of this, not that wearing two socks is a sin, but that He had already been ordering my steps. Some time shortly after I began following the way of Lord I naturally began wearing matching socks again, and now all my socks match. I didn't make a decision to do this, it just happened. God spoke to me that He will bring my life into order with His will, as I stay faithful to follow His Word. God delights in leading me after His Son Jesus, and giving me success. The enemy may try to confuse me, telling lies that I am not on the path of righteousness, but the Lord will not let my feet stumble. Thank You God for ordering my steps, leading and guiding me. Thank you for the gift of faith, and increase my endurance to keep my eyes on You, and not my situations. Give me the strength to change what I need to, because I long to love You more, and be wide open to Your perfect leadership. I love You Jesus! Thank You for salvation, confidence in love!

For God is not the author of confusion but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints.
1 Corinthians 14:33 NKJ

For where envy and self-seeking exist, confusion and every evil thing are there.

James 3:16 NKJ

I am dust, yet I ask

Then Abraham answered and said, "Indeed now, I who am but dust and ashes have taken it upon myself to speak to the Lord: Genesis 18:27 NKJ

Abraham knew the Lord, so he entreated God to have mercy on Sodom and Gomorrah. Abraham knew that the Lord was a generous, compassionate, Holy God. He had walked with God his whole life, being chosen from among his people to be the father of a great nation. God called him out, and Abraham obeyed faithfully the Lord's commands, knowing that it was the best thing for him to do, and having proper fear of and love for the Lord. Although Abraham rightfully feared the Lord, he humbled himself, admitting his insignificance, and took it upon himself to speak with God Almighty, who possesses the heavens and the earth; And God would visit him.
Then He finished talking with him, and God went up from Abraham. Genesis 17:22 NKJ

Lord, I admit that I am but dust, and my life is a fleeting vapor, I desire to humble myself in Your sight, that You will uplift me, and I may walk before You blameless to know and experience Your love. Thank You for the blood of Your Son Jesus. I ask Lord that You prepare my heart to receive all of Your generous indwelling Spirit, and have mercy on me Jesus, that I will be empowered to keep Your commands, and my family too. Oh God, creator and possessor of all heaven and earth, all glory and praise and dominion is Yours forever. May I experience Your presence daily, Holy Spirit.

Abram said to the king of Sodom, "I have sworn to the LORD God Most High, possessor of heaven and earth, Genesis 14:22

And God said to Abraham: "As for you, you shall keep My covenant, you and your descendants after you throughout their generations. Genesis 17:9 NKJ

Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up. James 4:10 NKJ

Gentle Love

28 For You cause my lamp to be lighted and to shine; the Lord my God illumines my darkness.29 For by You I can run through a troop, and by my God I can leap over a wall.30 As for God, His way is perfect! The word of the Lord is tested and tried; He is a shield to all those who take refuge and put their trust in Him. Psalm 18

Lately I have been blessed to hear the Lord saying to me that He will shine through me. I'm sure we all contemplate our destiny, and the alignment with His will; therefore if He has our heart we are eager to have them unified, to stand in obedience with the Lord's plan for our lives. So we love the Lord with all our heart, and lean not on our own understanding. If we acknowledge Him in all we do He WILL show us the paths to take. (Prov. 3:5-6)
He has confirmed this to be by showing me through His word that He is the Light that shines in the darkness. Even though my flesh is weak, my spirit is willing, and it's Christ living in me that gives sure hope of glory. So I praise God! I praise Him for His word, that we will never exhaust. I praise Him for being a gentle shepherd and leading me beside the still waters, and saving me from the snares. Thanks and praise be to our God forever!!!!

1 John 1:5.This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all.
