That happens to me a lot. Cause I think I'm pretty smart, but I don't always get what I'm supposed to get the first time. You could call me stubborn.
It happened last week. I heard what He was saying, but wanted to go my own way. (bad idea-nearly got me into some trouble!)
Then today, He said the SAME EXACT THING, but through someone else. Something I was struggling with. You know what? I have a friend who is struggling with the same thing. (Isn't it weird how God really just works this out? Like, in a good way weird?).
I actually like it when God works this way, because I need that extra reinforcement sometimes.
See, I'm human, and just like every other human on this planet, I make mistakes. Sometimes, they are
REALLY BIG MISTAKES
I never seem to be able to run away from them. God always sees and knows what I've done. Thankfully, He's the only one who will judge me in the end. Other people seem to think they should judge me (and boy do they try!) but God is the only one I'll answer too. (I've never broken the law, so that doesn't come into play).
God doesn't want any of us to fail, or to struggle with sin on a day to day basis. Especially if it is a sin that keeps coming back.. I could name them, but I won't. Each of us knows our weaknesses and shortcomings.
Thank God for GOD being who He is, who He will always be. I'm so blessed to be His daughter, and to know He forgives me when I do fail. And I am also so incredibly blessed when I know He will make me stronger through the difficult journeys... I just have to trust Him and know He has it all figured out.
Isaiah 58:11
New American Standard Bible (NASB)
11 “And the Lord will continually guide you,
And satisfy your desire in scorched places,
And give strength to your bones;
And you will be like a watered garden,
And like a spring of water whose waters do not fail.
And satisfy your desire in scorched places,
And give strength to your bones;
And you will be like a watered garden,
And like a spring of water whose waters do not fail.
Agreed..
