New Season, New Devotion

It is amazing to me how faithful the Lord is of us and how he continues to find reasons to pull me back to him. I am a stubborn one and it takes him knocking me over my head a time or two to realize it is him trying to talk to me. Sometimes I feel like I should have been born in the stoneages and he could have really gotten my attention. This is the first time I have felt like I wanted to participate in this blog for reasons other than trying to see what family and friends are up to. Each day I am planning on writing my devotional studies on my blog, whether anyone will read it or not that doesnt matter. It is going to be a way for me to communicate with the Lord and continue to grow in him. This mornings devotion was a mix of a couple of places I have found online and in a devotional guide I have. It amazes me everytime I reconnect and recognize God is trying to share with me his glory how much I have been missing out on and how clear his message is for the day.

So in my searching I found a womens devotional studies (well a couple actually, and all of them contains identical information) catching my eye. It began with the title Mountain Climbing, which is perfect for me because I an adventerous sort of woman, but what grabbed my attention was the scripture quoted.

"Do not throw away this confident trust in the Lord, no matter what happens. Remember the great reward it brings you! Patient endurance is what you need now, so you will continue to do Gods will. Then you will recieve all that he has promised." (Hebrews 10:35-36

This scripture is exactly what I needed to hear today, because I am adventurous and an adrenaline junkie I have an incredibly hard time being patient and waiting for anything. So to really begin to understand how my patience will be rewarded with the greatest gift of all God's love. It is always scarey to begin new seasons in our lives, I can never tell if it is suposed to happen on a certian day or time of the year, but understanding that it happens when God feels you are ready to embrace what he has planned for you. There is no timeline or date to tell you when it is going to happen or how to prepare for it, mostly it is a feeling you get knowing something has changed and God is the guiding the change.

God knows where he wants me in life it has been planned for a long time. There is no need for me to fear the future, because in my life God is already in my future.
