God is moving in my life and right now and even though I may not see ever hand movement or every footstep of His I know that He is moving in my life. We are at a point right now where all my wife and kids and I can do is wait and rely on Him. Seeking His face and waiting on answers is hard for me because I like to have everything planned out. I have come to find out that when it comes to time and being related to making plans, it's all in God's timing. That is perfectly fine with me but it is hard because I want answers and direction.
Last night my family and I had a wonderful night. We went and rented a movie and popped some popcorn and had a wonderful movie night. The phones were put away and the lights were off and nothing but the family curled up on the floor enjoying each others company and watching a movie. That's something that though it seems simple to a lot of people, is very important to me and I know it is to my wife. Family time together. I want the best for my family and I only can have that if I allow God to lead our lives. Right now is a waiting game for us. Waiting on and seeking after Gods direction is where we are at. I need Him to show me where He would have me to serve and to be placed. I need Him to show me His will for my life ever clearer than He has before. The only way that is going to happen is if I am obedient to Him and His word.
I read Proverbs 3:3 this morning. Here is what it says. "3 Let not mercy and truth forsake you; Bind them around your neck, Write them on the tablet of your heart," This is good for me to hear because this reminds me that God is always going to be there for me no matter what. God's mercy is bestowed upon me and my family and that gives me strength. Trust that comes from the word of God empowers me as a believer in Jesus Christ to strive to be more like Him each and every day.
Love and kindness are important character qualities. Both involve actions as well as attitudes. A loving person not only feels love; he or she also acts loyally and responsibly. A kind person works for justice for others. Thoughts and words are not enough-our lives reveal whether we are truly loving and kind. Do your actions measure up to your attitudes? Just something simple but powerful to think about. Praise be to God!
