So many times God shows me the meaning of His word thru the things in everyday life.
Lu (Hannah) and I have started a new workout program....OUCH!! LOL I have been doing, what I call granma exercises) for the past two years. I've lost 35 lbs and toned up a bunch. I thought I was in pretty good shape till we started this new workout. I've found some muscles I didn't know I had. I want to loose this last 5 lbs and it seemed like it just wouldn't budge. So I decided to ask for help. I have done everything I know to do.
I was thinking about all of this today. It began to dawn on me how this is exactly like our spiritual walk. When we exercise and watch what we put in our body we get rid of the fat and get strong. When we read God's Word and practice what it says, we can get rid of the junk in our lives and build up our Faith. AND it's ok to ask for HELP!!!
Some times I think God's Word is so simple it confuses us. Stop trying to make it hard. Take it one step at a time. God wants us to have it all. We just have to relax and let Him show us. Be still and listen.
Jer 33:3 (Message) 'Call to me and I will answer you. I'll tell you marvelous and wondrous things that you could never figure out on your own.' (Thanks for this scripture Sis)
Love y'all,
