Ok, slacking here...I didnt do my study yesterday....but I did sit down and read it today, and he called me on it.
We are looking ahead at weeks 2 (God's holiness) and 3 (God's awesomeness)...the one thing that really stood out to me was one of the preview statements for week 2, "Every time God says, 'Dont,' what He really means is 'Dont hurt yourself.'"
Re-read that, doesnt that sound like us as parents, when I am yelling at Isaac to no stick something in the electrical outlet, I am not yelling NO because I want to keep him away from something great or new...I want to save him from pain. How many times do we face a WANT that we dont get and we are upset about it, or lose a good job and dont understand. WHAT IF this is God saying, 'this isnt right for you and will cause pain in the long run, I have something better.' However; we are often to impatient to wait on His perfect plan. But then in week 3 one of the dvd message notes is 'We dont influence God's plans a bit." He knows we wont wait...He knows everything about us...yet loves us anyway.
Man am I glad I read this and was reminded of how Holy, Awesome, and Great my God is!!!
Thank you Lord for saving me from pain, Lord help me just to be obedient when you tell me no. Lord I pray over all those in my class that they are reading and discovering more of you each day. I love you so much and I am thankful that I cant screw up your perfect plan for me. Thank you for loving me no matter how many time you know I am going to fail you. Lord help Eli to sleep well, help his little tummy...help Bryan to as he begins the tummy bug battle, help it to pass quickly. Thank you for another day.~Amen
