Love Y'all; Linds

Lessons learned…

I recorded this episode when everyone was hoarding gas.  After I pulled up to the gas pump and witnessed car after car filling up their tank and multiple jugs, I had to roll my eyes, but last year, I was guilty.  We need to store up food, water, (not toilet paper in our house), and be prepared, but after my current devotion, I've changed my tune.

It's the study of the Israelites as they wander through the desert.  Miracle after miracle, God continuously shows up.  Some moments are HUGE like the parting of the Red Sea and then there are the smaller miracles, ya know like just dropping manna from the sky, leading them by fire, and the list goes on and on, but they still choose to worry "What if God doesn't provide..."  

Listen, we can kick back and wonder why the Israelites would ever struggle with their faith after witnessing miracle after miracle, but then again looking at all His provided for you and me.  

The epiphany moment came when reading Exodus 16-

Verse 17 "So the people of Israel did as they were told. Some gathered a lot, some only a little.

Verse 18 But when they measured it out,[d] everyone had just enough. Those who gathered a lot had nothing left over, and those who gathered only a little had enough. Each family had just what it needed."

Look at that!  They had EXACTLY what they needed.  Unfortunately, this provision wasn't enough.  They decided to store up, even though God specifically said not too.  

When we try to control the situations, the circumstances, and "store up" more than we need, we aren't trusting God to show up and work miracles.  

Look back on all the times God has shown up in your life; trust that He will provide gas, toilet paper, Lysol, or whatever it may be, and then let Him do his thing!  Letting go of the things you cannot control and giving it to God is where you'll find contentment and shed the anxiousness.

Maybe you can’t focus.

Maybe you don’t know how or what to even pray about.

You feel like you’ve messed up things too much to even have a conversation with God.

You’re problems seem too small to bother Go with.

You’re problems seem too big and overwhelming to even try to process, let alone pray about.

You don’t know what words to say.

Just going through the motions.

You’re so tired, you fall asleep.

These are all the things I struggle with.

I’ve found myself struggling this week. Of course, I’m listening to my Bible and reading my devotion, but the prayer, for some reason won’t come out. I feel disconnected. I need to just pour it all out right now, but I’m struggling to focus, my mind drifts, and I’m so tired I fall asleep.  

Something I discovered a few months ago in a time that I didn’t feel worthy enough to even say the name “Jesus” let alone ask for help, I found that writing my prayer was another way I could connect with Him. I borrowed one of Leighton’s composition notebooks to write my prayer. I could pour out my heart with thankfulness, my pleads, and my request for forgiveness while the tears smeared the ink. Reflecting back on the answered prayers I wrote back in August and September are humbling and a reminder of God’s grace and goodness.

Whatever place you are in right now, don’t let your mind convince you that God doesn’t want to hear from you. However you have to make that happen, make it happen. Don’t lose the connection with the One who is working everything for your good. #thedevildoesntwin

We often let others dictate our success, our mood, our attitude all for the sake of validation.  Validation and affirmations from others can make or break us if we choose to let them.  Break up with outward validation today and start a new one with self-affirmation!
