Wisdom

It has been many years since I have come to Jesus Christ.  In all those years I can say I have gained a lot of knowledge of who He is and how we are supposed to follow Him.  I do not think it has been until now, that I have actually started to apply those principles into my life.  There are situations that arise in life that cause us to react in certain ways.  A lot of times our reactions are by instinct.  Those days for me are becoming less and less as I am learning what wisdom is.  It is the choice to apply the knowledge and guidance we receive from God into practical use in our daily lives.  Now, it is much like walking the walk, in that we will have to make a commitment to be obedient to Him.  When you allow wisdom to take hold of your situations a lot of the decisions you make start to carry a peace with them.  You are actually allowing God to be with you as you make these decisions.  It’s kind of like a power meeting, you and the boss are dealing with a situation and since He is the expert in the field, he can suggest how to deal with the issue at hand.  I love that wisdom allows us to see God at work in our everyday life.  The funny thing is when we do slip up and just react by instinct, wisdom kicks in and says “YO! think you could have handled that differently?  I want my life and my decisions to continue to be based on Godly wisdom and I want to be able to discern the intentions of people and opportunities as God presents them to me in my life.  Wisdom is a great tool for Christians, and I challenge you to bring God into whats going on in your life, and take all that knowledge you have and turn it into wisdom.  The application of Godly knowledge into our everyday life.  Strive to live moment by moment and listen carefully for the still and silent voice of our Adonai.

It makes sense

These past two years have been a long and silent journey.  My life changed so drastically but it didn’t seem like it.  It makes sense that my heart would harden because of how emotionally draining it is to lose someone close to you. I never thought of that until a friend told me last night.  I love that when you choose to listen for God’s voice he speaks loudly through those who care for you.  It makes sense that God would do this for His Beloved. He has a passion for us, something that is more than enough, His love is starting to make sense. Pray for me through this journey and you all are in my prayers. SELAH!

Battle

My thoughts are tangled
In my heart I am confused
Its hard to breathe like being strangled
My soul feels beaten and abused

This is because of my choice
To live my life my way
Rarely listening to that inner voice
The one that talks to me when I pray

I want what feels good
This is what my flesh desires
It must be that I have misunderstood
What indeed following Christ requires

I have been asked to find my Holy Must
The reason for why Christ created me
It will take relying on my faith and trust
While intimately praying on bended knee

I no longer want to surrender
To the lies that are whispered in my ear
I want Jesus and all of His splendor
This heaviness I know he will make disappear

It was by the Blood of the Lamb
One’s whose life was not his own
That he chose me to be the Godly man I am
Giving me a place on His heavenly throne
