Hello everyone, being that we are in such times of change, this post came to mind. When I wrote this post over three years ago, I was in a very unusual place to say the least. I had just gotten fired from my job and pretty much got marched out of the building like a common criminal. This was a time where I felt like the enemy was literally laughing and taunting me. I began to think about all the junk I had talked about how "big and bad" my God is, the countries I had traveled to, all the people I've ministered to, all the blessings God had poured out through me, and yet, there I was in this place where I felt so all alone and even helpless.
In a time like this, the one thing I surprisingly struggled with was "PRIDE". People like myself, are highly functional with many talents, extremely capable of doing many things. So now, how do I resolve the issue of fixing all of the many situations I am now facing, and having absolutely "NO" answers?
In all honesty, now, I know this was the best place I could have ever been. I truly discovered the Grace of God by leaps and bounds as I've never known before. What I discovered, there was no room for me to fix anything. I was the one who was in need of “fixin”. There was no remedy or antidote. However, sadly, I was so angry! Oh! but here’s the ugly part. It was not so much because of all the things I had just endured, it was the fact that I couldn’t do anything about it. I had to put down my weapons of choice and ask God “what do you want”. With that being said, this brings me to my next question.
When is the last time you asked the Lord; what does He want from you?
A purpose producing life, is a life that is truly reliant on God and His will. No matter where you might find yourself, or how bad it may seem. Be willing to ask the Lord, What do You want?
This is the place where God will show you just how "big and bad" He can be for you.
Much Love!
