Then you will know I am God. Psalm 46:10

Psalm 46:10 (GW)
Let go {of your concerns}! Then you will know that I am God. I rule the nations. I rule the earth.

God has a way of getting us to take a break when we are in middle of a crisis or busy time in our lives. I recently realized that I wasn’t focusing on God because I was racing ahead to what I was planning to do with my day.  

I must make time for God. It really is that simple. My relationship with him is the most important thing in my life, but I tend to forget it as I go about doing things for him.

The Lord appreciates all the things I do as I fulfill his purpose for me, but …

God wants my heart. He’s interested in having my undivided devotion – he wants a full, unconditional surrender and worship. 

Surrender is difficult anyway.

But surrender while I am in a storm – well – that seems impossible. It’s not.

Surrender is a beautiful thing. That’s when our heart is open and receptive to changes in thinking, being and doing.

Let go of your concerns. Surrender your heart, soul and mind to God.

Then you will know God.

My Divine Devotions: The test really is simple

-
December 20, 2010 Psalm 139:23 Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my thoughts. What would it look like if we humbled ourselves before God and asked him to look deep into our heart? What does your family heart look like? How does the heart you show to your spouse, kids and family look? How’s your heart when it comes to your coworkers, neighbors and the maid who sweeps the floors where you work or study? The only test that counts is the one conducted by God. On a scale of one to 10, where do your thoughts rank? And, are you using God’s criteria or your own? The test really is simple: Love God with all your heart and love others as yourself. God’s grading system is simple: Either we pass or fail. Look deep into my heart, God, and find out everything I am thinking.

Following Jesus is for sinners, unbelievers and those who aren't perfect. – Matthew 9:13

Matthew 9:13   Go and learn what this means, ‘I want mercy and not sacrifice.’ (Hosea 6:6)   I have not come to get those who think they are right with God to follow me. I have come to get sinners to follow me.” Good sermons have a way of piercing hearts.  Andy Stanley’s   Follow, Pt.1 Jesus Says   sermon made me examine my heart in a big way. I suggest that you listen to the podcast because the message is good for nonbelievers, but especially amazing for those of us who love the Lord. Andy’s key points: ü Being a sinner is a prerequisite.  The o nly people who resist Jesus are those who "think" they are fine. Be careful! There’s no sin, addiction, illness or sin situation that puts you outside the Lord’s circle. ü Being an unbeliever doesn't disqualify you.  None of the Lord’s followers believed for several years. He chastised them several times. ü Following Jesus is purely an invitation to relationship. Rules don’t make a relationship.   God’s kin

Why I write this blog

Family and friends, My entire reason for maintaining this Journey blog is to inspire you to seek God (Matthew 28:19-20) and to read the Scriptures for yourself so that your soul might live on in eternity in His glorious presence (Revelation 21:11).  I've experienced His powerful presence here, right now on earth. This is why I'm passionate! But I'm overwhelmed just thinking of His future fully-revealed glory!  I can't wait! Love, Blanca
