What God requires, I must desire

What God requires………..I must desire. Those have been the thoughts Christ has been pouring into my heart this morning. I have recently come to accept the fact that I have issues with trust. Not necessarily trusting in God, but others. I have been let down to many times, is what my heart says. But yesterday, I received so more bad news about this situation, (I’m going to refer to this situation as “Situation B”, just for future reference). What long day it was, worrying, praying, seeking, talking, just a long day. And then this morning, I thought, you know what? Yes, I was right to not have trust in “Situation B”, but my trust should always be that God is going to work. But, yesterday I had no desire to trust in anyone.

So last night, I went for a drive before weight watchers. I was BURNED out with the girl’s and just needed to get away for a little bit. As I was driving, the rain was pouring down, and the song Grace like rain came to me. No matter what the outcome of “situation B” is going to be, God’s going to show this whole family His Grace. His Grace is and always has been SO GOOD TO ME. And then I thought, God requires me to trust in Him through ALL situations. And I guess I “know” this, but I don’t experience it in everything in life.

Weigh in was last night, I was so excited, I lost 4.4!!!! AND, God sent this super sweet lady to sit right next to me. At first, I was like, UGH………I don’t feel like talking to anyone, why is she sitting by me??? And then I realized God had sent her to answer a prayer of mine! This dog has been driving me UP THE WALLS. He’s so sweet, but he’s SO BAD. We have tried everything with him, but nothing seems to be working. In fact I was seriously thinking about giving him away. So, this woman says to me, “Have you been doing this long?” I almost laughed and said yes, my whole life, but I didn’t, we starting talking about things and I found out she has three boys exactly the same age as my girls, and she has a golden retriever puppy who is six months old, ours is eight! So, she was SO HELPFUL. She gave me some great ideas!!! And as I left there, I thought, WOW God, in this midst of all that is going on today, you sent me this simple blessing. I wasn’t even thinking about that dog as I entered weight watchers. It was the LAST thing on my mind, but God knew that it had been really bothering me and He sent a blessing through it!

Isn’t that just like God’s precious grace??? In the midst of a battle to bring a blessing? I was so joyful as I left, I almost felt like I had just left church! No matter where we are, God can speak, and sometimes in very unusual ways! Well gotta run, lot’s going on today. Have a super blessed day!!!
