Praise the Lord, all you servants of the Lord who minister by night in the house of the Lord Lift up your hands in the sanctuary and praise the Lord. Psalm 134:1-2 NIV
A Servant of the Lord
Do you have words that you just love the way they sound as they roll off the end of your tongue? Vassal is one of those words for me. Defined it means "a person or country in a subordinate position to another". I began to ponder what it means to be the Lord’s vassal. The Holy Spirit was teaching me a lesson that it is not all about me. Let me explain.
Follow His Leading
In June of 2018 I believed the Spirit was strongly urging, leading, prompting, compelling and directing me to start a blog. This was well outside of my skill set and comfort zone. I prayed for direction that if God REALLY wanted me to do this, He would have to make the path clear and put the people in my life who could help me accomplish this.
God Brings Humility
I had a bunch of ideas that just began to bubble out of me. I wrote them all down so I could research and prepare them to post. As with anything God wants to use for good, Satan wants to step in and mess it up. God’s messages were still coming through, but I looked forward to checking my site too much, checking to see if I had any likes on a post, or did I gain any new followers.
God in His infinite grace brought me some humility before I got overwhelmed from this. These are His posts flowing through me and I am only able to write due to His insight and intervention.
I don’t want it to be about me. I want to point everyone to Jesus and His glory.
