Oh, how last night's Bible Study affected me. We listened to Beth Moore talk about God's Word being alive and active in us. We are to 'inhale' the Word of God. Inhale as in breathe it in, keep it in our hearts. Then, we are to 'exhale' it. Exhale as in speak it. As a Christian, the only thing that will intimidate Satan is what comes out of my mouth. He's not a mind reader, so what I think about circumstances isn't going to do any good. What I must do is speak out. This truth hit me SO hard. I'm not one to say what I think/believe very often. I'm not one to pray out loud in my own personal prayers. I've been told by several people that praying out loud in their personal prayer time has done so much for their closeness with God. For some reason I'm intimidated to do it, but I asked God last night (out loud) to take away my intimidation. He did! I truly believe He heard my prayers last night and that He was right there with me as I talked to Him.
I believe with all my heart that God is doing a work in me. Why? Because there are so many things trying to get in my way, trying to distract me from what I need to be doing. What is He doing? I haven't the first clue right now. I'm playing the waiting game. And while I wait, He'll prepare me.
Thank you, God for what you are doing in me. Help me to see You in all situations in my life. Help me not to get so caught up in myself that I miss You and Your work. Amen.
