Welcome!
Life has been busy since my last publishing on 5-13-18.
Going back through the archives of these publishings to finish the book titled, -Behind closed doors- has been eye-opening and has brought healing to me recognizing the abuse that occurred in my childhood wasn't my fault, as I once thought it was.
I have listened to bible based teachings on many different subjects throughout most of my adult life. I have read many books on different subjects that were of interest to me.
As my kids were growing up a few of the things I asked of them were to listen to me and do as I ask, sounds simple enough!... Right? There is always a reason behind the asking and then the follow through occurs, hopefully!
Well, God is the same with us, He will ask us to do something, and hopefully, the follow-through occurs. If it doesn't I find I seem to run into a wall and seemingly forward motion stops. Then, I say, why God? this is what you have told me to do!
If I am taking the time to stop and listen to Him answer me it usually goes back to, what have I asked you to do that you haven't done? Or, I hear, I didn't tell you to stop doing that. to do as they
Sometimes kids either don't want to do as they are told to do or they didn't finish what they were told to do leaving the situation un-done.
One of the many difference between us as parents and our heavenly father is, He knows the end from the beginning, He sees the dangers that lie ahead and knows what it will take to either help us avoid them, or give us the strength to get through them. If we do not do our part, one by listening to Him and two by doing what He says, we will find ourselves in a mess and a lot of times blaming God for not doing his part even though we haven't done ours.
God may ask us to do something that will interfere with the plans we have for ourselves requiring us to use our time more wisely. Or His plans for us may interfere with the plans others have for us. Sometimes others can be greedy with our time at our cost, then get offended when we are not using our time the way they think we should. Sometimes listening to our heavenly Father will cause us to rearrange or even change a few things our lives. There are many scenarios to my thoughts on this subject.
Jesus only did as the Father told Him to do, and only said what the Father told Him to say. He prayed, listened and obeyed. I believe that is a reason He had the strength to go to Calvary. He is our example.
For me it boils down to, sometimes if things are not working or if we seem to have hit a wall, we need to go back to the last thing God asked us to do and do it, or if we have stopped doing something we haven't felt Him say, okay, Good Job! We need to pick it back up and continue doing it.
He never asks us to do something that will be bad for us or hurt us, He's a GOOD GOOD FATHER! Not a bad one. Sometimes it may not make sense but we need to do it any. It's surrendering to His will and His way. It can be a hard thing to do sometimes I'll be the first to admit it, but I will also be the first to admit it is well worth it!
