My Winter Season
I’ve been under attack for a while—didn’t realize the magnitude of it until yesterday… I’ve been performing certain acts like going to church, studying, praying, reading the Bible, giving to others, worshipping, loving my family, friends, etc., etc., etc., but living apart from God.
I just recognized my heart has not been wholly towards God’s, but I’ve been overcompensating the void by “doing” things out of habit.
Do you understand what I mean? You do the right things, but for the wrong motives… my God!!!
So that’s why He stripped away the job and the travel? When my husband and I thought it was our time to move on to another home, or out-of-state, or into ministry, we’d always get so close and then, BAM, the doors slammed shut in our faces. This also explains the emptiness and unsettling feelings that never seem to go away. The periodic highs and lows. The great victories and then even greater losses. The confusion, endless sleepless nights, horrible dreams of torment, fear, depression, weight gain, sickness in our bodies, the sufferings my children are also dealing with, broken family relationships, separations of all kinds…. and the list goes on.
For a few years now, it seemed as though God has been silent to my prayers…. yet at the same time, He continues to help me by protecting me from others and myself… keeping a watchful eye… not allowing the enemy to devour me and sift me into nothingness… thank You, Father, thank You, thank You!!!
Daily Reflections: Empty your life from ALL ritualistic acts and ways and doings… remove the pride…. look in the mirror and see the truth. Are you tired of waiting for Him to answer your prayers? What if He has already answered and you are unwilling to accept it? Let go. Stop allowing your head to rule your heart. Are you following Him OR what pleases you?
Please take that hard look today!!!
