GOD never fails to amaze me!!!
I have been studying Isaiah lately and i hear GOD'S voice pouring through the words the prophet wrote down around 739BC.
Verse 5: speaks -" I am the LORD, and there is no other; apart from me there is no God.
I will strengthen you,
though you have not acknowledged me"
Cant we all just do that !!! we except there is GOD and absolutely no other , we believe he strengthens us , but when he tries to do we let him ?
I am so challenged when GOD placed in my heart " you have not acknowledge me". I love the promise that he is strengthening us even though we carry on in our busy day to day lives , but to reap full benefits we must acknowledge him.
Verse 12: Speaks - "It is I who made the earth and created mankind upon it.
My own hands stretched out the heavens;
I marshaled their starry hosts."
GOD is capable to do all things for us , verse 12 in itself speaks enough for me !
But what is it what makes us feel so far away from him ? the other day i spoke with a sister and we shared thoughts,
we discussed how we can be on that holy hill sharing fellowship , worship and time in prayer, then we go home and its the ...(" same old") (" same old"),
the TV goes on , we worry about money and plan for work the next day.
I wonder what GOD thinks while we are thinking that? ,
he never sets time aside for us he has all the time ,
but us, do we put time aside for GOD ? its easy to notice the difference from the holy place to when we come back into the fallen world and continue everyday life ,
"which were here to live in and not be a part off."
GOD understands we have to work, but another sister encouraged me the other day and shared that in her busy life she always thinks off GOD through out the day,
and i believe that's what is possible for us to do and also a safe thing to do,
we don't have to be on the holy hill to be in the presence of GOD we can be anywhere.
As much as i say that i highly recommend quiet time within the presence of the Almighty Creator who stretched out the heavens with his hands, I love that ! :).
"we need the balance of GOD in our life,
other wise we will be totally unbalanced,
that will mean we will have nothing left to balance on"
