Giving all honor to God, who is the Head of my life…when I allow Him to be!
The truth is that God is the head of all things. God is the creator, The Great I AM. Nothing was created but by God. Nothing can last without God. In those truths, God has created life. God has allowed life. And in that life, we are afforded many opportunities, victories, successes, trials and hardships. In that life, we are allowed suffering and happiness.
It causes me wonderment at the amazement of life experiences that God affords us. I think if only we could see what He sees, if only we could know what He knows, I’m sure we would be different and I’m sure we would behave differently. I’m even sure we would think differently as we see only partial revelation.
Instead of seeing the good, we tend to look at the negative. Seemingly, it’s often the nature of our humanness to do so. Instead of looking with excitement at a new day, we drudge through the day and end up drudging through life’s experiences. Instead of finding God in the small and insignificant places and experiences, we rush through them waiting for the next.
There’s great reward in finding God in the mundane ordinary hours of any given day. Perhaps the challenge on the table is that we should move from drudgery to delight; from existence to learning, embracing and growing and going and showing.
So I decided to take a few minutes out of this ordinary day and search for life lessons that I would probably pass up if I didn’t take the time to think intentionally about seeing them.
Life Lessons:
Fear is a big deal to God because fear causes me to live in disobedience.
The initial report doesn’t have to be the official report.
Good can come out of bad things and difficult relationships.
If I don’t know the answer it’s because God hasn’t allowed me to know it yet.
In spite of everything-I need to continue doing what I know to do concerning God.
My weaknesses, sin and less than good behavior doesn’t deflate God’s love for me.
I’m important.
My contribution, however big or small, is necessary.
It takes faith to finish an assignment.
God hopes I will learn and be available to learn.
From learning comes growth. From growth comes opportunities. From opportunities come experiences. From experiences comes testimony.
There are times when the biggest step of faith I can take is to remain and continue.
If I don’t know the answer, ask. And if I’ve been asking, and I still don’t have the answer, it’s not for me to know. So I need to just carry on and make peace with not knowing.
Life Lessons God is showing me, but often too busy drudging through the day to pay attention and notice, He’s saying and showing me things.
Take a few intentional moments and ask, “God what are you showing me right now in my life?” “What life lessons are before me that I’ve been too busy to notice?”
God loves you and has an awesome plan for your life!
