Everyday things
Melanie - October 27, 2008
I mentioned last week that I'm doing Priscilla Shirer's Bible study, "Discerning the Voice of God". The study is unbelievably good and I thought I'd share a quote from Priscilla.
"Even seemingly meaningless activities are used by God as tool to guide us toward His plans. Never think your circumstances are disconnected from God's leading and His will. Don't spend your time wishing you could get out of the season of life you are in; rather, spend your time looking fervently at God's hand in your situation."
When I look back at the last two years of my life, I see the hand of God all over it. At the time I wasn't sure what was going on and why things were happening that didn't seem to fit into my idea of a good time, but now I see how God has used those things to refine me and draw me closer to Him.
I'm not going to lie, it hasn't always been fun. There have been times that I've wanted to pull my hair out from the frustration, but ultimately it's been worth it.
Keep your eyes on Him. He's worth it.

We just finished “Discerning the Voice” of God last week! The one thing Priscilla said (I don’t remember what week it was and I can’t quote exactly) that I’m not going to easily forget is this:
It is not my responsibility to find God’s will; it is HIS reponsibility to reveal it to us.
Oh, my, how I’ve tried to do His job. I gotta quit looking at what my hands are doing and focus on His!
Thanks for the good word!
