This time, it's about letting Him lead. Remember, yesterday, how I quoted "Bruce & Stan" about how we try to make our plans without consulting God, and then ask His blessing on our plans AFTERWARD?
Well, today, I was doing my Beth Moore, "BREAKING FREE", Bible study homework, and it was about God's "Daily Rule". In the third paragraph, Beth says, "For years I asked God to bless what I did. Talk about the clay trying to spin the Potter!" And, I just about laughed out loud!
Loud and Clear, God! Loud & clear! LOL :-P
Beth goes on to say that we are "wise & blessed to learn to walk with God instead of begging Him to walk with us".
This is because God knows the path He planned out for us -- and our knowledge of said path is "little more than hoped-for theories". God is Sovereign. He knows what will happen before it does, so we're wise to trust HIS leading.
So often I try to make my plans, and then ask God to bless them. And, I've been doing just that with my weight loss. I keep making up challenges for myself, or following other peoples' challenges, and then I ask God to "bless me" in my efforts. But, God wants me to ask HIM what HIS ideas are... where HE wants me to go... how HE wants me to go about things! And, if I choose to go with HIS ideas, then I will be blessed just for being obedient.
This one is gonna take a whole lot of God's strength! ;o)
but by My Spirit,'
says the Lord."

By His Spirit. . . Yes, It All Circles Back To I Cant Save Myself Or Free Myself. Only God Can Do That. But, Like Beth Said, I Can Reach Up And Take Hold When He Reaches Down To Rescue. How True. . . Yisraela
