He is above it all...

Seek the Lord while He may be found,
Call upon Him while He is near.

 Let the wicked forsake his way,
And the unrighteous man his thoughts;
Let him return to the Lord,
And He will have mercy on him;
And to our God, for He will abundantly pardon.
 
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord.
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are My ways higher than your ways,
And My thoughts than your thoughts.
                                                            
                                                            Isaiah 55:6-9
 
Sometimes it's hard to tell yourself the truth, the truth that you have not been putting "it all" in LORDs hands, the truth that you never really 100% trusted God in your life, that you always had a back-up plan if the plan "trusting God" didn't go very well.
 
It's time to admit it and realize that it is the truth and it's time to fix this.
 
God's word tell us to "SEEK the LORD while He may be found, [to] CALL upon Him while He is near" and the instructions on how to do that are in the next verse... turn away from your old and sinful ways and "return to the LORD"
 
The last two verses gives me so much confidence and comfort that I am ashamed that I have not been putting it all in God's hands.

I used to put my trust in humans who do not know what will happen in the next moment, rather than putting my trust in God, Who's ways are above all, Who knows what is and what will be, and able to make anything happen.

Thank you Lord for waiting for me to realize and turn around in my ways and make you The Plan of my life rather than my back-up plan!

" O  Lord , you have  searched me and known me! ...even the darkness is not dark to you;      the night is bright as the day,      for darkness is as light with you ... I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works;      my soul knows it very well... How precious to me are your  thoughts, O God!      How vast is the sum of them! ... Search me, O God, and know my heart!      Try me and know my thoughts! 24  And see if there be any grievous way in me,      and  lead me in  the way everlasting! " Psalm 139:1,12,14,17,23,24 This is such an amazing psalm that David wrote down and that we have now. I will never stop being amazed with the relationship that David had with the LORD. This psalm was David's prayer to the LORD, it is written in such a personal and deep level that it is hard to skim over this psalm. This ps...

What’s the deal with Easter, is it even real?

I wonder how many people actually understand the meaning of Easter? Not just people, but people that say they’re followers of Christ.  If you’re celebrating something I would think you need to know the history behind it, right? I might be to naive to believe people care about history these days, but as a firm believer in Jesus Christ history is very important to me.  Yes, history! Jesus Christ was actually alive and did die, and rose from the dead. Some might say that its only recorded in the Bible and how can a person rely on one source?  Well to begin the Bible is 66 different books, so technically it’s not one source. But the events of Jesus’ life, crucifixion, and then Him walking amongst the people after His death was recorded not only in the first 4 books of the New Testament but it was also mentioned in ancient Roman and Jewish history. There were also many folk tales that were orally passed down that mention Jesus of Nazareth... there is so much ev...
