count it all joy...
these trials come to make us strong...so count it all joy...
our faith is tested so that our endurance will grow...so let it grow...for when your endurance is strengthed...you will be strong in character and ready for anything...
none of us want to go through hardship...it's a fact of life...against humn nature to want to be uncomfortable...but if you think about it...it is the hard times that perfects us...
it doesn't feel good to go through the fire...
when the potter is molding the clay...
when the iron is being sharpened by iron...
when you climbing uphill...that long and uphill journey...
but it is god's will that we are tested...SOMETIMES...now...i'm not saying that every bad thing that happens to you is god's will...some of what happens to you is bad decisions that you make while you are living outside of god's will...and because you won't learn...god ALLOWS to go through some things...
but sometimes...our faith is tested...to see where we really are...what your beliefs really are...do you really believe that god will provide? do you really know that if you delight yourself in him that he will give you the desires of your heart? are you really delighting yourself in him?...or...are you praising him and serving him because of what he can do for you?
do you know how big of a revelation it was for me to realize that it just because god is god that i seek him...
and i seek him...fervently...i am stalking him...i want to see him everywhere i go...my every thought is of him...i am so in love with him...that i can't breathe without him...reminds of that toni braxton song...breathe again...now she was talking a man...but i am talking about my god...in him i live and in him i breathe and without him i would surely die...
so...i am seeking his will for my life...seeking his anointing...seeking his presence...seeking his touch...seeking to hear his still small voice...and if he never does another thing for me...still i will seek him...
